Changing the currency symbol in the Business App (for example € to £)

The Business App doesn't use your account's currency. It shows whatever symbol you've set as the Calculator prefix in the device's Business App configuration, and that symbol is € until you change it. So if you work in pounds, dollars or any other currency, gift card balances and top-ups show € until you set your own symbol.

Where the symbol is set

There are 2 separate fields, and changing one doesn't change the other:

  • Giftcard → Calculator prefix is the symbol on the gift card screens: the balance after you scan a gift card, the amount you enter to top up or deduct, and the confirmation screen.
  • Loyalty → Calculator prefix is the symbol in front of the purchase amount you enter for loyalty, and on prepaid balance and top-up screens.

You can type any symbol or text, such as £, $ or CHF.

Change the symbol

  1. Go to Apps → Business App.
  2. In the left menu, click Configuration.
  3. Open the configuration your device uses. If you don't have one yet, click New configuration.
  4. In the Giftcard section, click Edit settings, enter your symbol in Calculator prefix and click Save changes.
  5. In the Loyalty section, click Edit settings, enter the same symbol in Calculator prefix and click Save changes.

A device that isn't linked to a configuration always shows €, whatever you've set. In the configuration's Devices section, click Edit linked devices, add the device under Linked devices and click Save changes.

You can also check it from the device itself: go to Apps → Business App → Devices, open the device and look at Configuration.

Send the change to the device

Saving a configuration doesn't send it to the device. To apply it:

  1. Go to Apps → Business App → Devices.
  2. Open the device.
  3. Click Actions → Update settings.

Then scan a gift card to check the new symbol.

What this doesn't change

The prefix is only a label. It doesn't convert amounts: a top-up of 10 is stored as 10, whatever symbol is in front of it.

It also only affects the Business App. Amounts we format elsewhere, such as in emails, use the currency in the Localization and language section of your account settings. To find it, click the gear icon at the top right of the dashboard to open Settings, then click General under Account. Changing that currency doesn't change the Business App.
