Overview

Cross-border payments refer to transactions where the payer and the recipient are in different countries. This functionality enables you to expand your market reach by accepting payments from customers in various countries using their local payment methods. For instance, your business based in Singapore can accept payments from a customer in the Philippines using the QRPH payment method. HitPay also supports virtual account collection in 13 currencies: SGD, AUD, CAD, CHF, CNH/CNY, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, NOK, NZD, SEK, USD.

Online Store Payments

The Multi-Currency Converter lets your HitPay online store display prices in your customers’ local currencies, improving the shopping experience for international buyers. Navigate to Online Store > Settings > Store Settings > Multi-Currency Converter to configure your currencies.
  • Automatic FX rates — HitPay fetches live rates from partnered providers, with an optional percentage markup on top.
  • Manual (fixed) rates — Set your own exchange rate for full pricing control.
  • Default currency by location — Automatically show prices in the customer’s local currency based on their country. Customers can also switch currencies manually from the store header.
Prices, cart totals, checkout, and order confirmation emails all reflect the customer’s selected currency. Customers are charged in the currency displayed at checkout.

Managing Payouts

When accepting a cross-border payment method, the collected amount is automatically converted to your home currency and directly added to your local currency wallet. The converted amount will be included in your daily payouts. Please note that a 1% foreign exchange fee markup applies to the conversion.
