Click Save.
Additional Information
Notes
Format Pattern field requires the currency’s sign, the number of digits to come between commas, and which places are displayed. For example, in the format $###,##0.00 for US dollars, the places held by 0 are always displayed (as 0 if no other digit is present) while the places held by # are only displayed if occupied. A value of 0.01 in the above format would be displayed as $0.01.
Rounding Mode requires a type of rounding mode from the drop-down menu.
Some payment methods require a specific primary currency to be configured for the store in order to function. Mercanet requires EUR as the primary currency.
