How does multi-currency pricing work on Cellbase?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Cellbase displays prices in multiple currencies to serve international buyers, whilst maintaining accurate pricing aligned with suppliers' intentions.

How currency conversion works:

Base currency: All product prices are established in GBP first.

Automatic conversion: When you browse Cellbase, prices display in your preferred currency based on:

  • Your browser location settings

  • Currency selection in site header

Daily exchange rate updates:

Currency conversions refresh daily using current exchange rates. This ensures:

  • Prices remain aligned with suppliers' intended value

  • You see current market rates

  • Fair pricing across all currencies

Price variations:

Because exchange rates fluctuate, you may notice:

  • Slight price differences when viewing products on different days

  • Minor variations between quoted price and final checkout price (if exchange rates changed between browsing and purchase)

  • Differences between your currency view and the GBP base price

These variations are typically very small and reflect real market exchange rate movements.

At checkout:

Price confirmation: Your final price is locked at checkout using the exchange rate at that moment. The checkout page shows the total in your selected currency with the exchange rate applied.

Payment processing: Your payment is processed in your local currency displayed in checkout.

Available currencies:

Cellbase supports over 100 currencies matching our language options:

Select your preferred currency from the header menu on any page.
