# [Write-up] Lock the Currency for Fees for the students

**When do you use this?**

1. You want to avoid your students paying in a currency other than the one of their location.
Eg: A student is supposed to pay in Euro as he/she is staying in Europe. But he/she asks someone from India to pay in INR.

2. You want your students to view and pay the fees in a specific currency, while they are travelling.

**How does it work?**

It works at 2 different levels:

**1. Studio Level settings**

At studio level, this feature will be able to automatically set the currency of the student matching the student's contact number. 
This would be applicable throughout the studio.

Eg: If a student's phone no is started with +91, the system will set the currency in INR. If the student's no starts from +1, the system will automatically set the currency for such student as USD.

**2. Student Level settings**

You can manually lock the currency for a specific student so that the student will be able to pay the fee in the same currency.

Eg: If the student has an Indian phone no but is based in US, then you can lock the currency to show the fees in USD.

|| Please note:
|| This feature will work only when the Geo-pricing add on is turned on.
|| You can set it at studio level and then student level as well.

**Steps to set this feature**
