Currency
Chargify supports multiple currencies. Currency configuration is done on a site-by-site basis. You may select the currency to use when you create a new site, and you may change the currency when you edit a site only if the site has no revenue. If you need to sell in multiple currencies, you will need to set up a separate Site for each currency.
The currency is used in price displays found in the Web UI and on Public Pages. It is also the currency that is used as the “submission currency” to the gateways. This means that the transactions we submit to your gateway are specified using this currency. Note that this can be different than the settlement currency of your Merchant Account.

Zero-Decimal Currencies
Chargify currently supports the Japanese Yen (JPY) which is a zero-decimal currency. To use JPY you must configure the currency for your site prior to creating any products. Once the currency is configured, when creating a product, simply enter the number of yen you wish to charge, for example 1575 yen. When creating products via the API, although the attribute is called price_in_cents you should think of “cents” as “the smallest division of the currency” and still submit 1575 for the price.
