To configure exchange rates, go to Settings > Account > Exchange Rates.

You must first configure the currencies you want to use for currency conversion, by clicking on Edit available currencies on the top right. Tick the currencies you want to use, including the base currency you will typically be converting to, and then click on Save. You are now in a position to start setting up your exchange rates.



Exchange rates are set in groups per date period. It is common for our customers to set monthly periods, and set the rates using the HMRC-published exchange rates each month.

To create a new date range for exchange rates, click on New date range. You can leave the start or end date blank to indicate that the rate applies for all time before this date range, or all time after this date range.

Once you have created your date range, ensure it is selected using the Date Range drop-down on the top of the exchange rates page.

Now click Edit mode. This allows you to use the matrix of exchange rates to enter values for individual currencies, and to set your currency pairs. As soon as you type in your value, once you click out of the box, it will go green and immediately save. If you were to read a pair left to right, you find the pair by locating the base currency in the row, and the quote currency in the column. In the example below, 1 GBP = €1.09534.



When you have finished editing, click View Mode to return to the 'safe' mode in which you can use the converter.
