Displaying user's native currency

Memberships & subscriptions

Is there any way to show the user our subscription price in their native currency on the sign-up page?

I’ve already set up a new product in Stripe that allows the user to pay in their native currency. But when I go to edit the membership settings on Ghost, I don’t seem to have the option of having one payment tier with multiple currencies.

Multi-currency products are not possible at the moment - Ghost only supports charging for subscriptions in a single currency. Typically anyone can still purchase, even with a foreign card, and their bank will handle the currency conversion.

Important note: Creating new products in Stripe will not be linked to Ghost, and modifying existing products connected to Ghost in Stripe may break things. Approach with care :)

Thanks for answering my question. Are there any plans to develop multi-currency products in the future?

And in the meantime, do you have any advice on how we could circumvent this issue? Users are turned off paying for a subscription in a foreign currency as it suggests they might get slapped with a conversion fee from their bank.

We’d love to make multi-currency products possible in future for sure

Hey John, any advances on this? Most of our readers are based in the US, therefore we choose USD for our memberships. But this really frustrates our Aussie readers.

Adding a +1 for localized pricing!

We would very much like this feature for oneahead.com.

We have a substantial readership size that is unbelievably international, and only being able to charge in one currency is limiting paid growth based on user feedback.

Hello John, that sounds exciting indeed! It’s great to see progress being made.

Could you share if there’s a timeline for this feature, perhaps within this year? We international nomads have been eagerly anticipating this for three years now, and it’s a crucial feature for us.

Thanks for considering this.

This would be a nice feature. I’ve just launched a site that’s aimed at US and UK audiences, so being able to charge in USD/GBP would be neat.

I found the opposite to be true in South Korea. Using an American bank’s credit card and converting into KRW and using at points of sale (all of them) and online (depending on the venue) worked seamlessly. Using a Korean bank’s card even with the branding of some global network, including American businesses such as Visa was nigh impossible for me and everyone I knew. In the past decade, it has improved, but it still lags far behind the capabilities and convenience of the domestic card networks (e.g., BC) or KakaoPay (think Apple Pay or SamsungPay but not dependent on the hardware’s being Apple or Samsung).

I imagine that in certain countries, co-branding with MasterCard or Visa or whatever is common and painless. Some countries never got onto widespread credit or the credit/debit networks. This could be extremely audience-dependent.

Thank you for your efforts thus far. Ghost aside, Stripe has limits for recurring payments with certain payment methods, and I imagine the level of Stripe integration we seek is easier said than done (recurring payments and integration with a third party). Just adding the Korean case as the big counter-example.
