# Supported Currencies

Violet lets you present the product catalog to your shopper and create a cart in any of the currencies we support. Violet uses real-time exchange rates to present these rates, which you can access through our [Exchange Rates API](/api-reference/catalog/currencies/currency-exchange-rates.md).

When using Violet Payments, Violet also supports charging the shopper in the currency they are presented and handles the currency exchanges that are required to wire funds across you, shoppers, and the merchants involved without any extra effort from your side. Since Violet uses Stripe to power our payment processing, we are limited to supporting currencies accepted by Stripe. You can see the full list of supported currencies here:

[Stripe Presentment Currencies](https://stripe.com/docs/currencies?presentment-currency=US#presentment-currencies)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Some E-com platforms such as Shopify provide presentment and international currency capabilities so that prices are different depending on the location of a Shopper. Violet does not support these pricing strategies at this time. Feel free to reach out at <support@violet.io> for more information or keep track of our [Changelog](/changelog.md) for new features that we release.
