When you place an order, the store charges you in their set currency (e.g., GBP if the shop is based in the UK).
However, your bank or payment provider may convert the charge into a different currency before it appears on your statement.
💳 Why your charge may look different
1. Your bank or card converted the payment
Some banks automatically convert transactions into another currency (commonly USD), especially if you’re using:
An international card
A multi-currency account
A digital bank
👉 This may also include additional foreign transaction fees.
2. Payment processing differences
Depending on your card or payment method, the transaction may be routed internationally, which can result in:
Currency conversion
Slightly higher total due to exchange rates
3. Temporary display differences
In some cases, your bank may show a pending charge in a different currency, which later settles into the correct amount.
✅ What you can do
Check with your bank or card provider for details on the conversion
Review any foreign transaction fees applied
Wait for the transaction to fully settle (if it’s still pending)
