The Personify application supports two options for your organization to handle multiple currencies on the Web.
· Multiple portals where each portal supports a single currency
· One portal to support multiple currencies
By creating multiple portals for a single website, you can restrict each portal to a single currency. This option works best if you want to keep the transaction records completely separate for each currency or your organization wants to create a different user experience, such as language, product listing, homepage, for each currency accepted. This option is also best if you only want to support a minimal number of currencies, such as two, so that you are not required to maintain too many portals.
If your organization chooses to allow a single portal to support multiple currencies, you allow your users to view all products in any currency currently added to the e-Commerce batch. Only currencies added to the batch are available for your customers to select as their “Preferred Currency.”
As of Personify 7.3.0 SP2, you can also create one portal that supports only one currency as well as a separate portal that supports multiple portals. To do so, you must create your original portal and follow the steps outlined for setting the default currency for a single currency before creating a separate portal in which you will follow the instructions outlined in Configuring Your Single Portal e-Business Site for Multi-Currency.
