There may come a time when you will need to change the default currency of your WHMCS. This is not a setting that you change. You will need to modify the default currency row that has the Base conversion rate set to 1.0. Follow the instructions below as we demonstrate how to change the default currency from the US Dollar to the British pound.<\/p>\n
