Hello Bruce,

So why don't you sell in Canadian dollars?
The main reason is the US market. It's about 40% of our business, and US customers expect the shop to quote a price that doesn't change. Since the US is such a big country, almost everything is available in US dollars.

The rest of the world doesn't seem to care since we deal with multiple currencies all the time. I buy stuff in US dollars every week.

Since it makes it easier for US customers and doesn't bother the rest of the world, it works well. Of course the one problem is that when there are big currency swings, we have to adjust.

Bruce
