Country, Language, Currency, and Price Books in Commerce Cloud Endless Aisle

The following are related:

In practice, when you switch from one country to another on the Welcome dialog or the login screen (if the Change Country link is enabled) in the app, the currency, languages supported, price books, and address form change to the ones associated with the new country.

For example, you can specify the following configurations:

  Germany France United States
Languages

English

French

German

English

French

German

English

French

German
Display Name Germany France United States
Currency Euro Euro Dollar
List price book German price book French price book United States price book
Sale price book German sale price book French sale price book United States sale price book
Address form addressForm_EU.js addressForm_EU.js addressForm_NA.js

For example, a customer who lives in Germany is shopping in an airport in France. In the store, the store associate switches from using France as the country to using Germany, which is where to ship the purchases. The app switches to the German price book and uses the address form appropriate for Germany.

The country determines the currency, price books, and address form. Multiple languages can be available for each country.
