# Multicurrency Support in ClickFlare: How It Works

> Learn how ClickFlare records and displays cost and payout data in multiple currencies to match your traffic sources and affiliate networks.

### **How ClickFlare Handles Multicurrency**

ClickFlare allows you to record cost and payout information in different currencies, depending on your traffic source and affiliate network settings. Each traffic source and offer can have its own currency, while all financial data is displayed in a unified **display currency** for easier analysis.

### **How It Works**

By default, ClickFlare records cost and payout values in **USD**. However, you can change the currency for a specific traffic source or offer. Once changed, all future values will be recorded in the new currency.

**Important Notes:**

* Currency changes only affect future data and are **non-reversible**.
* If you switch an offer’s payout currency from USD to GBP, all future payouts will be recorded in GBP.
* Changing back to USD will only apply to future transactions, not the previously recorded GBP values.

Cost and payout currencies are set at the **traffic source** and **offer** levels, allowing you to track data across multiple currencies.

### **Example Scenario**

Imagine you run campaigns in both **India and China**, where your traffic sources and affiliate networks provide cost and payout information in local currencies.

* Your Indian traffic source and affiliate network use **rupees (INR)**.
* Your Chinese traffic source and affiliate network use **yuans (CNY)**.

ClickFlare will record all transactions in their respective currencies. However, if your **display currency** is set to **USD**, all data will be shown in USD using the exchange rate for the selected time period.

For example, when reviewing yesterday’s performance, ClickFlare will use yesterday’s exchange rates to present your cost and payout values in USD, ensuring accurate comparisons across campaigns.

### **Setting Up Display Currency in ClickFlare**

The **display currency** setting only affects how your data is presented—it does not change the original recorded currency.

To change your display currency in, ClickFlare:

1. Click on the **Settings** icon in the top-right corner.
2. Navigate to the **Settings** tab.
3. Select a currency from the **Default Currency** drop-down menu.

Your data will now be displayed in the selected currency, converted using accurate exchange rates for the chosen time range.
