Note: The Multicurrency Pricing feature is needed to be able to change the base currency since you need more than one currency added to your Chargebee site. This feature is only available on selected plans. To know more, visit Chargebee's Plans and Pricing page.

For LIVE sites with no data

You can only change the base currency if there is no data (Product Catalog, Subscriptions, Invoices, Transactions, etc.) and gateways associated with the base currency of your site. 

To change the base currency, go to Settings (on the left panel) > Configure Chargebee > Currencies (in the Billing section) as seen below:

You can contact [email protected] to help with the base currency change from the backend.

For TEST sites:

Navigate to Settings > Configure Chargebee > Currencies

Once you click on Change, you will then get a notification with a warning message of what actions will be performed upon changing the base currency.

Changing the base currency will lead to 

• Clearing your Smart Routing rules
• Clearing all your site data such as plans, subscriptions, settings, etc
• Clearing all additional currencies and exchange rate settings

Once you will agree to the conditions and click 'Proceed' you will see the progress status of clearing the data.

Once all the mentioned data is cleared, you will get an option to choose your site base currency. 

Note: Changing the base currency has to be done with caution. The base currency is your site's default currency and as you know changing the base currency will also be updated on all the reports, also affects the calculation of exchange rates as well.
