Here is an example of a receipt printed with dual currency displayed: - The **Total **displays the amount due in the primary currency. The example pictured shows a primary currency of United States Dollar \[USD\]. - The next line **Pesos \[MXN\] **displays the amount in the secondary currency. This receipt label is determined by you and can be customized to meet your needs. - The **Exchange Rate** is displayed below. The exchange rate is set in the backend and updated manually. You have the option of changing the exchange rate from the Lavu POS app if you need to make temporary changes to account for a day that varies greatly from the setting in the control panel. ![dc1](https://support.lavu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/dc1.jpeg?width=355&height=473&name=dc1.jpeg)   This article will guide you through the process of: - Enabling the Feature - Updating the Exchange Rate in the Control Panel - Adjusting the Exchange Rate in the Lavu POS app #### Enable the Feature You will need to enable the feature from the Lavu Control Panel.
