# Fixed amount off per currency
### Overview
When running a multi-currency or multi-market Shopify store, standard fixed discounts can behave unexpectedly.
For example:
* You create a **$10 USD off** discount
* A customer checks out in **Canada**
* Shopify automatically converts **$10 USD → CAD**
* The final discount value changes based on exchange rates
This is the default Shopify behavior and works well in many cases — but it breaks down when you want **precise, market-specific pricing**.
To solve this, DollarLabs introduces **Currency-Specific Discounts** using a new discount type:
> **Fixed Amount per Currency**
This allows you to define **exact discount values per currency**, without relying on automatic conversions.

### What Is “Fixed Amount per Currency”?
**Fixed Amount per Currency** lets you specify *how much discount should apply in each currency*, independently.
Example:
* 🇺🇸 United States → **$3 USD off**
* 🇨🇦 Canada → **$3 CAD off**
* 🇮🇳 India → **₹300 INR off**
Each customer sees the correct discount **based on their checkout currency**, not a converted value.
***
### Supported Discount Types
This discount type works across all unified discount categories:
* **Product discounts** (per item)
* **Order discounts**
* **Shipping discounts**
The behaviour remains consistent—only the discount amount changes based on currency.

### How to Create a Currency-Specific Discount
#### Step 1: Go to Unified Discounts
1. Open the app
2. Navigate to **Unified Discounts**
3. Click **Create Discount**
***
#### Step 2: Choose the Discount Type
When selecting the discount type, choose:
> **Fixed Amount per Currency**
This option appears alongside the standard fixed and percentage discounts.
***
#### Step 3: Configure Currency Values
You’ll now be able to:
* Add **multiple currencies**
* Define the **exact discount amount for each currency**
Example configuration:
* USD → 3
* CAD → 3
* INR → 300
You can add as many currencies as your store supports.
***
#### Step 4: Complete the Discount Setup
Configure the rest of the discount like any normal unified discount:
* Eligible products / collections
* Usage limits
* Customer eligibility
* Combinability rules
Save the discount when done.

### How It Works at Checkout
The discount automatically adapts based on the customer’s market and checkout currency.
Example:
* Customer selects a **Canada** shipping address\
→ Discount shows **$3 CAD off per unit**
* Customer adds **2 units**\
→ Discount becomes **$6 CAD**
* Customer switches to **US**\
→ Discount instantly updates to **$3 USD per unit**
* Customer switches to **India**\
→ Discount updates to **₹300 INR per unit**
No conversion math. No rounding issues. No surprises.
