How to Change the Currency for an Invoice using the Mobile app
Bookipi's Multi-Currency feature enables you to create invoices and estimates in your clients' preferred currencies, rather than being limited to your company's default currency.
This is ideal for freelancers, contractors, and businesses that work with international clients. By invoicing in your customer's local currency, you can reduce confusion, improve payment accuracy, and streamline global billing.

Tap Currency to open the currency selector.
Step 4: Choose Your Currency
Browse the list of supported currencies and select the currency you would like to use for this invoice.

Important Things to Know
Currency Applies Per Invoice
Changing the currency only affects the current invoice.
Your company's default currency remains unchanged.
Prices Are Not Automatically Converted
When you change the invoice currency:
Item prices remain the same
Only the currency symbol and currency code change
For example:
USD 100 → EUR 100
AUD 500 → GBP 500
Bookipi does not perform exchange-rate calculations or automatic currency conversions.
One Currency Per Invoice
Each invoice can only use a single currency.
Mixed-currency invoices are not supported.
Currency Locks After Sending
You can change the currency while the invoice is still in Draft status.
Once any of the following occurs, the currency can no longer be changed:
The invoice is sent
Payment request is created
The invoice is signed
The invoice is partially paid
The invoice is fully paid
This helps ensure financial records remain consistent.
Payments Use the Invoice Currency
When a customer pays an invoice, supported payment gateways will process the payment using the invoice currency.

Q: Why can't I see the Currency option in my invoice?

Tap See more.
Select Switch to new version.
Once you've switched to the new version, open your invoice again and navigate to the Others section to access the Currency option.

A: Existing invoices that already use a different currency will remain valid. However, you will no longer be able to edit the invoice currency unless you upgrade again.
