SparkReceipt supports more than 150 currencies. Each receipt or invoice keeps the currency it was paid in, and SparkReceipt converts it to your account's Home currency with the exchange rate for the document's date. Totals, the Overview and reports are shown in the home currency, and reports also list every document in its original currency. Admins and accountants can change the home currency under Account settings > Account & Users.
Key features of currency support
- 150+ currencies supported worldwide
- Daily exchange rates, and historical rates for backdated receipts
- Works automatically, with no manual conversion needed
- Each linked account can have its own home currency
Your account's home currency
The home currency is the currency your totals and reports are shown in. Every account has one. If no one has set it, the account uses the account owner's currency.
To change it in the web app:
- Open Account settings and the Account & Users tab.
- Click Edit.
- Choose the Home currency, or click Use account owner's currency to go back to the owner's currency.
- Click Save.
In the mobile app, open Account settings, then Account information. Home currency is under Tax & currency.
Only admins, owners and accountants can change the home currency. Other users see it read-only. Changing it does not change your documents: each one keeps its own currency, and totals and reports are converted to the new home currency from then on.
Different currencies for different accounts
Each linked account has its own home currency. When you create a linked account in the web app you can pick its Home currency, or leave it to use the account owner's currency. You can change it later in that account's Account settings. This suits, for example, a business in another country.
The currency of a document
When SparkReceipt scans a receipt, it reads the currency from the receipt. If it can't tell, the document gets the account's home currency. A document you add by hand also starts in the home currency. You can change the Currency on any document you can edit.
There is no personal default currency per user. If a team member keeps adding receipts in another currency, they can change the currency on each document, or an admin can change the account's home currency or set up a linked account with that currency.
For a document in another currency, the web app shows the converted amounts under the totals, with a Conversion rate row. Click the edit button on that row to Set custom exchange rate, for example the rate your card actually charged. Reports and totals then use your rate for that document.
Currencies in reports
Reports are always totalled in the home currency. Each row keeps the document's own currency in the Currency column, with its amounts in that currency. When any document in the report is in another currency, the report adds Target Currency, Exchange Rate, Converted Subtotal, Converted Tax and Converted Total.
You can't choose a different currency for a single report or leave the totals unconverted. To get a report totalled in USD, for example, the account's home currency has to be USD. There is also no filter by currency. See What's in a report? for details.
