💡Note: This is only required if you are a charity organization that’s fundraising on StreamlabsCharity.com. 

At present, your PayPal account may be set up for your own domestic market and currency only. For UK Sellers, this would usually mean adding (at a minimum) EUR, USD and AUD. Likewise for US Sellers, set-up would likely allow for payments in GBP, EUR, CAD & AUD.

Adding Currencies allows you to accept payments into specific PayPal currency accounts, USD to USD, Euro to Euro, GBP to GBP etc. It also enables you to ''Hold'' the balance of these additional Currency accounts rather than converting the currency immediately. This provides the potential benefit of being able to convert against the exchange rate whenever you choose.
