Picfair now supports setting image prices and subscribing to Picfair Plus in 13 different currencies.

With this update, photographers can now set exact prices in their own currency, e.g., $20.00 USD, €20.00 EUR, or £20.00 GBP. The price displayed on their store in their preferred currency will not change, regardless of any currency exchange rates.

Previously, it was only possible to set prices in £GBP (British Pounds), but now all photographers have the option to set prices in:

‍

‍£GBP - British Pound
$USD - US Dollar
€EUR - Euro
$AUD - Australia Dollar
$CAD - Canadian Dollar
ZAR R - South African Rand
RON Lei - Romanian Leu
SEK Kr - Swedish Kroner
$NZD‎ - New Zealand Dollar
$MXN‎ - Mexican Peso
PLN Zł - Polish Zloty
CHF - Swiss Franc
¥JPY - Japanese Yen

‍
When signing up, a photographer's store currency will be automatically set based on their geolocation at time of sign up.

Photographers can review and change their preferred store currency at any time via their Store Settings.

‍

To change currency, photographers can select the "change" option, choose the preferred new currency and hit "save".

The currency selected here will apply to all existing and future uploads.
‍

Image prices are set in the photographer's preferred currency, and visitors to the photographer's store will see prices in the currency based on their own geolocation, or the currency they select in the header menu of the store.

‍

‍Important note:
As Picfair is a UK based company, all transactions will ultimately be made in £GBP, however both photographers and buyers will see image prices based on the currency they've selected.

The benefits of changing your currency preferences

1 You can set a whole-number price

You can now set prices for your home currency as whole numbers (e.g., $20, 20 EUR). Previously, if you wanted to display a whole number price, or as close as possible, in a currency other than GBP, you had to estimate the equivalent amount, which involved guesswork and a lot of back-and-forth. This process is no longer necessary. Now, it’s as simple as setting the desired number and pressing “Save.”

‍

2 Your prices won’t change due to exchange rate fluctuations

Previously, when displaying your price in a currency other than GBP (British Pounds, which is Picfair’s base currency), the price would fluctuate based on the exchange rate for that particular date, and this could change daily. Previously, this could be both confusing and frustrating for photographers and customers alike; that’s no longer the case.

‍

3 It’s cleaner and simpler for your workflow

In the past, photographers had to frequently adjust the prices of their images due to fluctuations in exchange rates, especially when these rates changed significantly. This process could add considerable time to a photographer’s workflow, but that burden has now been removed, giving you more time to focus on your images!
