  Hi,

  I would like to confirm the following charges in which currency? (I am from Singapore)

  1. At the settings page in blaze, what currency is it reflected in? SGD or USD?

  2. At the end of the campaign, which currency will I be charged in SGD or USD?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  
  Your account is currently set to SGD, so it should both reflect and charge in SGD. Is that what you are seeing on your end?
  
  Hope that helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
  
  Thanks!

  Hi!

  I am charged in my USD account from my Revolute App.

  The recent purchases on your WordPress.com account are definitely showing for us in SGD; which should match your receipts in your Billing History too:
  https://wordpress.com/me/purchases/billing

  Do the corresponding charges in your Revolute app show the same amount, but in USD? Or do they show the ‘converted’ amount instead?

  Hi,

  I have received the email follow up payment invoice from wordpress today, it stated USD.

  And so is at Revolute App site, it is in USD. My local currency is SGD.

  Is the card you used issued by a US bank?

  The card is from Revolute. Anyway, I have confirmed with statement from Revolute app, it is indicated under USD statement.

  Not sure which party went wrong now. Will be great if anyone can help to raise a technical ticket.

  Hi there,

  I’ve confirmed with our team that for this early implementation billing for Blaze posts are in USD only, regardless of the currency your account is set to.

  This is likely to change over time but we do not have an estimate on when other currencies will be supported, but we are happy to let you know when payments are available in SGD.

  Thanks for your patience!

  Hi Team,

  Great to learn something new from you today! I would like to make a suggestion, it will be great if the indicative currency are changed to USD for all. Even for end-user like me for example, who is from Singapore. It will minimize confusion.

  Thanks for your reply. I will mark my question as resolved.

  Anticipating new improvements from WordPress. In the meantime, don’t mind me promoting my portfolio – http://www.shirleycharlin.com

  I just soft launched it. Haha! Have a great day!
