Buying and selling in different currencies
Understand how AutoDS manages pricing and profit when buying and selling in different currencies across global marketplaces.
Introduction
When selling internationally, it is common to buy from suppliers in one currency and sell to customers in another. AutoDS supports this process by automatically handling currency conversion for pricing and profit calculations.
This guide explains how currency settings work specifically on Shopify, eBay, and Amazon, and what you need to know to ensure accurate and smooth operations. For other selling channels, the buy currency and selling currency are the same.

eBay & Amazon users
-
The selling currency is determined by the marketplace origin.
-
Example: If you buy in USD from AliExpress but sell on eBay Germany (DE), your selling currency will be in EURO, while the buy price remains in USD.
-
This setup allows you to sell internationally while sourcing from global suppliers in their native currencies.
💡Tip: To check which currency your store uses, go to Settings → Store settings.
⚠️ Important:
The exchange rate for a product updates only when there is already a reason to update the product, such as a change in the buy price.
The dashboard displays data in the store’s selling currency. You can use filters to view order or profit data by individual currencies.
