How to Manage Account Currencies in HubSpot
Managing currencies correctly in HubSpot is essential for accurate deal values, revenue reporting, and sales forecasting across global teams. This guide explains how to enable multiple currencies, add new ones, update exchange rates, and control the default currency for your account.
The steps below are based on the official HubSpot documentation and are organized so admins and operations teams can quickly configure currency settings with confidence.
Before You Configure Currencies in HubSpot
Only users with the right permissions can change currency settings. To work with account currencies in HubSpot, you typically need:
- Access to account settings
- Admin or super admin permissions for your portal
- Permission to edit properties on deals and other CRM records
Changes to currency and exchange rates affect reporting and deal amounts across your HubSpot data, so coordinate with finance or RevOps before making updates.
How HubSpot Handles Account Currencies
When you use multiple currencies, HubSpot provides:
- A default account currency, used as the base for reporting
- Additional currencies you can enable for your teams
- Exchange rates from each added currency back to the default currency
HubSpot uses these settings to convert values on deals and other objects into a consistent base currency for dashboards and revenue reports.
Open Currency Settings in HubSpot
To start working with account currencies, open your currency configuration area in HubSpot.
- Sign in to your HubSpot account.
- Click the settings icon in the main navigation.
- In the left sidebar, go to your account or business settings (often labeled as Account Defaults or similar, depending on subscription).
- Locate the section for currencies or account currencies.
From here you can view and manage the list of currencies available in your HubSpot portal.
Add New Currencies in HubSpot
If your company sells in multiple regions, you can add new currencies to handle local pricing and reporting accurately.
Steps to Add a Currency in HubSpot
- In the currencies settings screen, look for an option such as Add currency or Manage currencies.
- Open the currency dropdown list to see all supported currencies.
- Select the currency you want to add (for example, EUR, GBP, AUD, or JPY).
- Set the exchange rate relative to your default account currency.
- Save your changes so HubSpot can start using the new currency.
Once added, the currency becomes available in deal records and other relevant places where a currency field is present.
Best Practices When Adding Currencies in HubSpot
- Confirm the ISO currency code matches your accounting system.
- Align exchange rates with your finance or ERP system for consistency.
- Communicate to sales teams which currency to use for each market.
Edit Existing Currencies in HubSpot
Over time, exchange rates change or your pricing structure evolves. You can update existing currencies in HubSpot to keep your data aligned.
How to Edit Currency Details
- Go to your currencies list in HubSpot settings.
- Locate the currency you want to update.
- Click the Edit option next to that currency.
- Update the exchange rate as needed.
- Save to apply your changes across HubSpot reporting.
When you change an exchange rate, HubSpot uses the new value for currency conversions going forward. Review the impact on reports and forecasts after making significant updates.
What You Can Typically Edit in HubSpot Currency Settings
- The exchange rate against your default currency
- Whether the currency is active or inactive
- Visibility and availability for sales users, depending on your subscription
Set or Change the Default Currency in HubSpot
Your default currency is the primary base for reporting and revenue calculations. HubSpot uses this currency to aggregate values from all other currencies.
Steps to Set the Default Currency
- In your currencies settings list, identify the currency you want as the default.
- Use the available control (for example, a Set as default button or star icon) to mark it as the default currency.
- Confirm your choice when prompted, as this may impact reporting in HubSpot.
Updating the default currency does not typically change the stored values on individual deals, but it changes how HubSpot converts and summarizes data in reports and dashboards.
Use Multiple Currencies on Deals in HubSpot
After enabling additional currencies, your sales team can select the appropriate currency when creating or editing deals in HubSpot.
Assign a Currency to a Deal
- Open a deal record in your CRM.
- Find the deal amount and currency fields.
- Select the correct currency from the dropdown list.
- Enter the deal amount in that currency.
- Save the deal record so HubSpot can apply the correct conversion.
HubSpot then converts the deal value into your default currency using the current exchange rate from your currencies settings. This ensures that pipelines and revenue forecasts remain consistent even when sales operate in different markets.
Reporting Considerations for HubSpot Currencies
Accurate exchange rates are important for reporting inside HubSpot.
- Company-wide dashboards and revenue reports rely on the default currency.
- Multi-currency deals are converted using the rates defined in settings.
- Historical reports may display values based on the exchange rate active at the time of reporting, depending on your configuration and subscription level.
After major exchange rate updates, check critical reports to verify that totals and trends still align with your finance system.
Troubleshooting Currency Issues in HubSpot
Common issues with currencies in HubSpot include missing options, incorrect deal values, or misaligned reports.
Typical Problems and Quick Checks
- Cannot find a currency on deals: Confirm that the currency is added and active in settings.
- Values look wrong in reports: Check the exchange rate configured for that currency in HubSpot.
- Reports mix multiple currencies: Verify which base currency and conversion rules the report is using.
