# How orders with different currencies are imported into your BigCommerce Main Store

When using our BigCommerce integration, you may encounter instances where the currency of a sales channel differs from the default currency in your Main Store.

To prevent currency mismatches when importing orders into your BigCommerce store, LitCommerce manages orders according to your BigCommerce currency settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
**There are two types of currency in BigCommerce: Display Currency and Transactional Currency. Learn more about them in** [**this article**](https://support.bigcommerce.com/s/article/Using-Multiple-Currencies?language=en_US)**.**
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Order’s currency has not been added to BigCommerce**</mark>

If the order’s currency has not been added to your BigCommerce store, LitCommerce will automatically convert the order total into your Main Store’s default currency using the standard exchange rate.

This ensures that all transactions are recorded in the main currency of your store.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Order's currency is set as a Transacting Currency**</mark>

When your channel's currency is configured as a Transacting Currency in your BigCommerce store, the order will be imported with the original currency, and no conversion will be necessary.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Order’s currency is set as a Display Currency only**</mark>

If the order’s currency is set as a Display Currency rather than a Transacting Currency, LitCommerce will convert the order total into your store’s default currency.&#x20;

The conversion will use the exchange rate configured in your BigCommerce store.
