How to Change Your Website Currency in Wix and Wix Studio (Step-by-Step Guide)

Running an online store with the wrong currency can cost you sales, confuse your customers, and make your checkout experience frustrating. At Wix Ideas, we know just how important it is to set up your website correctly from the start. Whether you’re building your store with Wix or Wix Studio, changing your website’s currency is simple once you know where to look.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to update your site currency, adjust your regional formats, and make sure your online store is ready to sell anywhere in the world.

Why Changing Your Wix Currency Matters

Your currency setting directly impacts how customers see prices and make payments. Imagine running a bakery website like Stella’s Cookies (my example in this tutorial) and having your store display in US dollars when your audience is in the UK. That mismatch not only looks unprofessional but may also discourage potential buyers from completing checkout.

At Wix Ideas, we help business owners avoid mistakes like this so you can focus on selling more and building your brand with confidence.

Step-by-Step: How to Change Currency in Wix or Wix Studio

1. Head Over to Your Dashboard

Log into your Wix or Wix Studio dashboard. From here, scroll down to Settings.

2. Find the Currency Option

You have two quick options:

• Search “Currency” in the search bar.

• Or scroll down manually under General > Language & Region.

3. Set Language, Region & Currency

Here’s what you can adjust:

• Language: Choose the main language for your site (I kept mine in English).

• Region Format: Pick your region so numbers, dates, and measurements match your country.

• Currency: Select your preferred currency (for example, GBP for the United Kingdom).

⚠️ Important: Ensure your payment providers support the currency you switch to.

4. Adjust Time Zone

Set your time zone to match your location. This keeps bookings, emails, and apps accurate.

5. Save and Refresh

Click Save, refresh your site, and boom—you’ll see your new currency live on your storefront.

Beyond Currency: Fine-Tuning Your Wix Website

While you’re in this section, you can also tweak your:

• Account Language: Controls your Wix dashboard and editor language.

• Sitewide Translations: Perfect if you want a multilingual website (something we’ll cover in another Wix Ideas tutorial).

These small details create a seamless shopping experience, no matter where your visitors come from.
