[Write-up] [Self Subscription] Lock the Currency for Fees for the students
When do you use this?
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.
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:
1. This feature will work only when the Geo-pricing add on is turned on.
2. You can set it at studio level and then student level as well.
