Overview of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC)

Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) is a feature that allows your Customer to see the cost of a transaction in both Canadian dollars and in a foreign currency when that Customer pays with a foreign Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card.

DCC adds value to each transaction by displaying real-time, on-the-spot currency conversions. It allows your international Customers to pay in Canadian dollars or in their own currency.

• For example, a Customer from the United States makes a purchase in your store. When that Customer pays with their US dollar Visa or Mastercard, they will be able to see the total purchase amount in US dollars as well as Canadian dollars and then select the currency they prefer.
