Currency Configurations in the Sitecore Content Editor – Commerce Control Panel

1. In the Sitecore Content Editor,
2. Go to /sitecore/Commerce/Commerce Control Panel/Shared Settings/Currency Settings/Currency Sets/

Currency Configurations in the Commerce Engine Connect Config

1. In the Sitecore configuration file, <Website Root>\App_Config\Include\Y.Commerce.Engine\Sitecore.Commerce.Engine.Connect.config, the property defaultShopCurrency may need to be updated.
   Note: It’s best practice to patch out this value rather than updating this configuration file directly to ensure it’s deployed to each environment and that upgrades can be performed without corrupting the website.
2. Create or update the patch configuration file in your website’s solution with the desired currency value.
3. Deploy the project/solution
