What Currency Does My Account Use and How Are Amounts Shown?

Learn which currency your Goodshuffle Pro account uses and how amounts display for you and your clients.

Written by Sierra Burton

This feature is available on all Goodshuffle Pro Plans.

Goodshuffle Pro shows amounts in the currency your account is set up in—so a Canadian business sees Canadian dollars, a Mexican business sees Mexican pesos, and a U.S. business sees U.S. dollars. This matches the currency your clients are actually charged, so the numbers on a quote or contract line up with what lands on the card.

Which Currency Your Account Uses

Your account currency comes from the country your business is based in, set when you signed up. It matches the currency of your connected bank account and the currency your clients pay in. Goodshuffle Pro supports U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, and Mexican pesos today.

How Amounts Look to You

On your own screens—inventory pricing, projects, finances, and reports—amounts show with a plain dollar sign, like $1,000.00. Since your whole account is in one currency, there's no need to repeat the currency name on every line.

How Amounts Look to Your Clients

On the documents a client reads—quotes, contracts, invoices, and payment emails—line items show a plain dollar sign, and the important totals name the currency so there's no confusion.

A Canadian account's totals name the currency on the grand total and balances, so a contract total reads $1,000.00 CAD while the line items above it read $1,000.00. Local taxes appear the way that account is set up—here, GST and PST.

A Mexican account works the same way, in Mexican pesos. The grand total and balances name the currency—so a total reads $1,160.00 MXN while the line items read $1,000.00—and local taxes appear as that account is set up, here VAT.

U.S. accounts show a plain dollar sign with no currency code in English. In every case, the currency name appears at the points that matter most—the grand total, deposit due, balance due, and the amount on a payment or receipt email—because those are read on their own, sometimes months later, where a plain dollar sign alone could be unclear.

Screen vs. Downloaded Files

A report you view on screen shows a plain dollar sign, but the same report downloaded as a spreadsheet names the currency. This applies to every non-U.S. currency—a Canadian account's download reads $1,000.00 CAD and a Mexican account's reads $1,000.00 MXN. That's on purpose: a downloaded file leaves Goodshuffle Pro and may be opened by a bookkeeper or accountant who doesn't have your account context, so it names its currency. If you compare the two and the strings look different, that's expected, not an error.

Amounts in Spanish and French

If a document is sent in Spanish or French, the currency is always named—even for U.S. dollars—so a reader doesn't have to assume a dollar sign means U.S. dollars. Spanish uses the same number style you're used to ($1,000.54), and French writes the amount without a dollar sign and names the currency instead.

A Note on Older Project Activity

If your account was already using a non-U.S. currency before this update, older entries in your project activity may show a plain dollar sign while newer entries name the currency. The amounts were always correct—only the currency label is new—and the mix clears itself up as new activity comes in.
