How to change your currency

Currency lives on your profile, not on an individual collection — go to Account settings → Currency and pick one. It changes the currency your prices are shown in, everywhere you look.

Switching converts your prices — it does not relabel them

Section titled “Switching converts your prices — it does not relabel them”

This is the part worth reading twice. Nothing stored on your bottles is rewritten. Every purchase price keeps the currency it was entered in and every custom market value keeps its own, and we convert them for display each time you look. So a bottle you bought for 100 US dollars does not become 100 euros when you switch to euros — it becomes whatever 100 US dollars is worth in euros, and the bottle still holds 100 USD underneath.

What switching touches What happens
Every price on screen Re-shown, converted into the new currency
Each bottle’s purchase price Untouched — keeps its own amount and currency
Your custom market values Untouched — each keeps the currency you typed it in

Expect every total to change the moment you switch, then. That is the conversion doing its job, not your data being altered.

Which exchange rate we use

Section titled “Which exchange rate we use”

A purchase price is converted at the rate on that bottle’s purchase date, because that is what the bottle cost you at the time. Market values convert at the current rate. So switching currency will not make what you spent drift around with today’s exchange market, but your collection’s market value does move with it.

It follows you, not the collection

Section titled “It follows you, not the collection”

Because the setting sits on your profile, it applies to every collection you can open — your own and any shared with you. It is also personal: a collaborator who prefers pounds sees the same collection in pounds, and neither of you changes anything for the other.

On iPhone & iPad

Section titled “On iPhone & iPad”
  1. On Home, tap your profile photo in the top right, then Settings and Account settings. On iPad, tap your profile photo in the top bar, then Settings. On iPhone with an older iOS, tap Profile, then the gear in the top right.
  2. Under Profile, tap Currency.
  3. Search for or tap the currency you want. It saves on its own and confirms with Currency updated.

On Android

Section titled “On Android”
Android:  Home → your profile photo → Settings → Account settings → Currency

Currency is under the profile section.

On the web app

Section titled “On the web app”
  1. Click your profile at the top right, then Settings.
  2. Under Preferences, open the Currency list and choose one.
Profile → Settings → Currency

Prices you enter from then on default to your new currency, and you can still override that per bottle or per market value at the moment you type it.
