Manage Currencies

By default there are 5 predefined standard currencies in your Tourwriter. You can easily add more currencies, or remove any that do not apply to your business. Let’s go through the steps to manage currencies for your organisation:

1. In the Currencies section, select Manage currencies to view the list of available currencies.

Note: Tourwriter supports 170 world currencies

2. Add all the currencies you would like available in your Tourwriter account.
3. Select a default currency by clicking the star icon.
4. The default currency is used when setting a rate for a new Supplier.
5. You can change this in the settings within each Supplier or Itinerary.

Note:

• You can only select one currency as your default currency. We recommend you reserve your default currency to buy most of your services.
• You cannot delete the default currency.
• You can only use currencies on itineraries and suppliers that you have enabled in the organisation settings.
