About currency conversion

View prices in your selected currency

Before your first payment, proposal prices can be shown in your selected browsing currency. Select Learn more beside the price details to check the vendor's original price and understand how conversion works.

For example, a proposal priced in EUR may show a CAD estimate if you've selected CAD for browsing. The proposal still records the original EUR amounts and payment schedule.

Understand why an estimate can change

Estimates use the exchange rate available when they are calculated. They are not a guaranteed payment amount, and accepting a proposal does not lock that rate.

If you have a deposit and remaining balance, the estimated value of your remaining balance may change before you pay it. Exchange-rate changes do not change the amount due in the proposal's original currency.

Choose your booking's payment currency

For your first payment, checkout shows the available currencies, which may include your selected currency and the proposal's original currency. Review the exact amount and currency before you pay. Not every currency is available for every booking.

Your first successful payment sets the payment currency for that booking. Remaining payments use the same currency, even if you change your browsing currency later. Opening checkout or a failed payment does not set the booking's payment currency.

For example, if you pay a deposit in CAD for a proposal priced in EUR, your remaining payment will also be in CAD. The vendor's EUR price stays the same, but the CAD amount uses the exchange rate offered when you pay the remaining balance, not the rate used for your deposit.

Payment history and receipts show the amounts actually charged. While a balance is unpaid, your booking total combines those actual payments with the current converted value of the unpaid amount. Unpaid amounts on a receipt use the conversion preview from your latest successful payment; they are not a guaranteed future charge. Once you've paid in full, the total is the sum of your actual payments.

If your bank converts the payment into your card or account currency, its exchange rate and fees may differ from the estimate. Check with your bank for details.

Refunds in your payment currency

If you are eligible for a refund, it is calculated from the amount you actually paid, in the same currency. We do not convert the vendor's price again using a new exchange rate. For example, a 50% refund of a $400 CAD payment is $200 CAD, even if exchange rates have changed since you paid.

Your booking's cancellation policy determines which payments are refundable and by how much. Currency conversion does not reduce your eligible refund. See the Booking Payments and Payouts Terms for details.

If your bank separately converted the original charge, its exchange rate or fees may affect the amount shown on your bank statement.
