Being from the EU, I've got the idea that most people are pretty attached to their currency. I'm guessing it depends a bit on your market - some people (global-minded?) have no problem doing currency conversion, others do (nationally-minded?). For a company selling a downloadable program, I had to modify their website so it could sell in these three currencies (EUR, GBP, USD). Since they have no official presence there, I presume it was feelgood only.
I suppose the question is not "should you" but "can you afford to". If you can make it so, reaching out to the customer, "speaking" in their own currency, is always a benefit.
Edit: If you /need/ to pick one, pick the one were you expect the most revenue? I don't think anyone of them are less hesitant about it than others. Save for maybe EU people since they might remember the good ol' days of the Mark and the Franc and such.
- robotmay 13y agoThat's the problem I'm facing at the moment; each currency would be relevant to a certain section of my current user base. Plenty of users in the USA, about the same in the UK and EU, and a sizeable number in Australia too. I'm not sure if Stripe incurs extra charges for using non-native currencies; I've tried looking through their docs but the UK documentation is a little sparse right now.
