Currencies

The Currencies menu is the store-wide list of every currency the store can price and display amounts in, plus the actions you can take on a single currency. It mirrors the admin Settings → Currencies screen.

What this menu controls

Each currency defines two things:

1. Identity — its ISO code (e.g. USD) and display name (e.g. US Dollar).
2. Formatting — how a monetary amount is rendered in that currency: the symbol, the number of decimal places, the thousands/decimal separators, and where the symbol sits relative to the amount.

A currency must exist here before a channel can use it as a base or display currency, and before exchange rates can be defined against it.

When a row appears here

A currency row exists once it has been created — either seeded with the store (the default USD) or added via the Create mutation. There is no automatic creation; currencies are configured by an admin.

Field meanings

Field	Meaning
code	3-letter ISO currency code, stored uppercase and unique.
name	Human-readable display name.
symbol	The symbol shown with amounts (e.g. $, €). May be null.
decimal	Number of decimal places to render (e.g. 2 → 10.00).
groupSeparator	Character that groups thousands (e.g. , → 1,000).
decimalSeparator	Character before the decimal portion (e.g. . → 10.50).
currencyPosition	left or right — whether the symbol is a prefix ($10) or suffix (10$). May be null.

Create / update / delete behaviour

• Create requires code + name; the formatting fields are optional.
• Update changes the name and formatting fields. code is immutable — it is not part of the update input type, so it can never be changed after creation.
• Delete removes a single currency; Mass delete removes several by id.

Delete guards

A currency cannot be deleted if either of these is true:

• It is the last remaining currency — the store always needs at least one.
• It is set as a channel's base currency — remove or reassign it on the channel first.

Both the single Delete and Mass delete operations enforce these guards.
