Specifying currencies
Analytics has a number of standard and calculated Ecommerce metrics that are considered currency values, including:
- Transaction Revenue
- Transaction Tax
- Transaction Shipping
- Item Revenue
- Revenue per Transaction
- Revenue per Session
- Total Value
- Revenue per Item
The global currency type of a reporting view determines the currency in which all of these values are displayed in reports.
By default, the global currency type of a reporting view is USD. Businesses that transact in a single currency other than USD can configure a view to use any of the supported currencies. Learn how to specify the global currency type of a view.
Using local currencies
Businesses that transact in more than one currency can specify a local currency type when sending transaction data to Analytics. The local currency must be specified in the ISO 4217 standard. If the local currency type differs from a view's global currency type, Analytics will perform the necessary conversion using the prior day's exchange rate.
Learn how to set the local currency type of a transaction or item in the following supported libraries or protocols:
