Currency and Units in Konfiwear

Your account currency determines how prices are displayed throughout the platform — in the customizer, quote requests, and pricing tiers. This guide explains how currency works in Konfiwear.

How Currency Works

Konfiwear uses a single currency per account. Every price you enter — whether in a pricing tier, a quote, or a checkout session — is denominated in this currency. The currency setting is configured at the account level and applies across all products and quotes.

⚠️ Important: Changing your account currency does not automatically convert existing pricing tier values. If you switch from EUR to USD, you'll need to manually update all your product prices to reflect the new currency.

Setting Your Currency

Your account currency is part of your account settings. To view or update it:

1. Navigate to your account settings

Go to Settings from the sidebar menu.

2. Locate the currency configuration

Find the currency setting in your account preferences section.

3. Select your currency

Choose from the available currencies. Common options include EUR (€), USD ($), GBP (£), CAD (C$), and AUD (A$).

💡 Tip: Choose the currency that matches your Stripe account to avoid conversion discrepancies during checkout.

Pricing Tier Values and Currency

When you enter pricing tier values (see Pricing Tiers Guide), the pricePerUnit value is stored as a plain number. Konfiwear applies your account currency when displaying these values.

Example: If your currency is EUR and you set a tier at 69.00, it displays as €69.00 throughout the platform.

This means:

All pricing tiers share the same currency — you cannot mix currencies within a single account
Price values are stored without currency symbols — the display layer adds the appropriate symbol
Stripe checkout uses its own currency configuration, which should match your account currency

Measurement Units

Konfiwear does not enforce specific measurement units for product dimensions or weights. However, certain areas reference units implicitly:

Context

Convention

Size codes

Standard apparel sizing (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, etc.) — no unit conversion needed

Pattern SVGs

SVG coordinates use their internal coordinate system (typically millimeters or points in the viewBox)

3D models (GLB)

Models use the scale defined in the GLB file; the customizer renders them as-is

Quantities

Integer unit counts (number of garments)

💡 Tip: When preparing 3D models and pattern SVGs, coordinate with your production team to ensure the models' internal scale matches your print and cutting specifications.

Multi-Currency Considerations

If you serve customers in multiple currencies:

Separate accounts — Create a dedicated Konfiwear account per currency region. Each account maintains its own pricing in its configured currency.
Manual conversion — If using a single account, enter prices in your base currency and note the conversion in your quote communications.
Stripe multi-currency — Stripe supports presenting prices in different currencies at checkout. Coordinate with your payment configuration for international customers.

Tips & Best Practices

Match Stripe and Konfiwear currencies — discrepancies cause confusion during checkout and reconciliation
Use decimal precision consistently — enter prices with two decimal places (e.g., 69.00, not 69) for clarity
Document your currency in customer-facing materials so quote recipients know the denomination
Plan your currency before entering pricing — switching currencies later requires manually updating every pricing tier across all products
