Changing currency across the template

Want to change the currency used across the Freelancer Toolkit template? This guide will walk you through the steps to change the currency on pages such as Invoices, Expenses, and Statements.

Changing currency across the template

If your currency is other than US dollars, you need to change it before you start using the template. This will help you avoid errors and inconsistencies in your calculations and reports.

There are three pages where you need to make this change. Let’s look at each one in detail.

Invoices

Go to the Invoices page and click the dropdown next to the blue New button. This will list the predesigned invoice templates that we have.

Click the three dots (…) next to the default template, then the Edit button. This will open the default invoice template page, which is added each time a new invoice is created.

Click the Edit button for default template

Scroll down to the Balance Due section of the template page and change the currency symbol.

Statement & Overview

The Statement & Overview page provides a summary of the funds in your bank and wallet accounts. We need to make changes to three databases here.

First, open the predesigned template by clicking the dropdown next to the blue New button.

There are two properties where you must change the currency. First, click the Account Balance property → Edit property and change the Number format to your desired currency.
