PT-1297 [5.x]: Unable to set a stores primary currency

Hi @phillmorgan28

Thank you for your message.

You should be able to set a store's primary currency when creating a new store. If you wish to change a current store's primary currency you must first make sure there are no orders or carts in that store.

Hope this helps, thanks!

Hi @nfourtythree. Thanks for the response. I did consult the documentation and found this already. This installation is brand new, with zero orders and no active or inactive carts in existence, and I cannot find an option to change the pre-existing stores primary currency.

Thanks

Please see below screenshots showing no option available

Hi @phillmorgan28

Thank you for your reply, if you head to the Stores section of the settings, click on your store and you should see a dropdown for currency where you will be able to change it.

Payment currencies are the alternate currencies that the store can take payment in on top of its base currency.

Thanks!

HI @nfourtythree This option is not available to me

Hi @phillmorgan28

If you have deleted any carts or orders, be sure to run garbage collection to make sure they have been fully removed.

This can be done via the garbage collection CLI command.

./craft gc/run

Thanks

[phillmorgan28]

Perfect! It was due to the single deleted cart that was created when I installed Commerce!

Many thanks!

As a suggestion, perhaps rather than removing the setting from view completely, present a disabled drop-down with some guidance? Although it's in the documentation to delete these items, it may not be clear that the trashed items must also be deleted to enable the ability to switch.

Great that it is working!

And we will definitely take this feedback on board as we look to make improvements.

Thanks!
