Charge customers in Chilean Peso and Peruvian Sol

What's new?

We added Chilean Peso (CLP) and Peruvian Sol (PEN) as supported currencies for payments.

How it works

Chile and Peru are among Latin America's largest digital commerce markets. The primary currencies are Chilean Peso (CLP) and Peruvian Sol (PEN).

Offering prices in local currencies builds trust by helping customers understand how much they're being charged, means they're less likely to be charged FX fees, and improves payment acceptance rates.

You can now create prices and price overrides in Chilean Peso and Peruvian Sol. Paddle checkout automatically presents prices in CLP for customers in Chile, and in PEN for customers in Peru.

As a result, CLP and PEN are now valid allowed values for currency_code when working with payment currencies in the Paddle API, including:

• price.unit_price.currency_code
• price.unit_price_overrides.unit_price.currency_code
• discount.currency_code
• transaction.currency_code
• subscription.currency_code
• pricing_preview.currency_code

You may see them in responses from the Paddle API as payment currencies, too.

CLP and PEN are not valid currency codes for manually-collected transactions or subscriptions, payouts, chargeback fees, or your balance currency.

CLP has no subunit. Amounts must be whole integers. For example, 1000 CLP is "1000", not "100000" as it would be for a two-decimal currency.

Next steps

This change is available in version 1 of the Paddle API.

It's a non-breaking change, meaning it doesn't impact existing integrations.

Check the API documentation to work with prices, subscriptions, and transactions in CLP and PEN.
