Charge customers in Colombian Peso

What's new?

We added Colombian Peso as a supported currency for payments.

How it works

Colombia is a fast-growing emerging market economy, with a population of over 50 million people. The primary currency is the Colombian Peso (COP).

You can now create prices and price overrides in Colombian Peso, letting you charge customers in Colombia in their local currency. 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.

As a result, COP is now a valid allowed value 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 it in responses from the Paddle API as a payment currency, too.

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.
