Currency switcher
Let travellers pay in their own currency. You set real prices per currency on each tour (no surprise exchange rates); tours you haven’t priced stay in your main currency, clearly labelled “Charged in …”, optionally with an approximate converted price.
Settings
What you can set up
Currency switcher works out of the box with sensible defaults. These are the choices you can make, straight from your console.
Currencies
- Extra currencies
- Choose up to 10. Travellers can switch to any of these; your main currency is always offered. Give each tour a price in a currency (Tours › Pricing) to charge in it.

- Pick a visitor’s currency automatically
- Until they choose one, visitors see the currency of their country (or browser language), if you offer it. Their own choice is remembered for a year.
Approximate prices
- Show approximate prices
- For tours without a price in the visitor’s currency, show “≈ €92” next to the real price. They are still charged in the tour’s currency, and checkout says so.
- Exchange rates
- One per line: currency=rate for 1 unit of your main currency, e.g. EUR=0.92. Update them when rates move; nothing is charged at these rates.
- Markup on converted prices (%)
- Covers card and conversion fees, so the estimate isn’t lower than what the traveller’s bank will charge. 0–15.
- Rounding
- No rounding (e.g. €91.73)Whole amounts (€92)Ending in .99 (€91.99)Nearest 5 (€90)Nearest 10 (€90)

How payments plugins fit in
Payments in Tourtify always go to your own account with your chosen provider. Stripe is built in, and gateway plugins add the methods travellers use in their country. Deposits, balances and receipts work the same whichever gateway a traveller picks; refunds are sent through the provider where its API allows, or recorded when you make them in its dashboard.

Booking & traveller fees
Add a fee per booking, per traveller or as a percentage, e.g. park permits or a service fee, with amounts per currency. Shown as its own line and included in advertised prices, as consumer law requires.
Invoices & tax receipts
A numbered invoice for every booking, with your legal name and tax ID, emailed to the traveller as a PDF. Changes, refunds and cancellations get credit notes, so your numbering never has gaps. Export them all for your accountant.

Pay by bank transfer
Let travellers book now and pay by bank transfer. They get your bank details and their reference by email, the seats are kept for a few days, and the booking confirms when you record the money.
PayPal
Let travellers pay with PayPal or card through your own PayPal business account. Connect it on the Payments page; add a webhook so refunds and disputes made in PayPal show up on your bookings.
