Set up your site's region, charging currency, and public language

Set your country of operation, understand how currency relabelling works in your offers and Stripe, and choose your site's language.

On this page

In Settings → Region and currency, you define three foundational choices for how your business operates publicly: which country and legal framework you work under, which currency you charge in, and which language your site uses to serve your customers.

What Settings → Region and currency controls: country of operation, date/price formatting, and applicable laws

The first block, Jurisdiction and regional format, sets the Country your business operates in. Picking the right country does two things at once:

  1. Date and amount formatting: adjusts how dates, thousands separators, and currency symbols are written across your public pages, booking calendar, and receipts.
  2. Legal framework for your Policy templates: based on the selected country, véltica adapts the templates in Settings → Policies to cite the relevant laws and consumer authorities (for example, LFPDPPP and PROFECO in Mexico, GDPR and LOPDGDD in Spain, or CCPA/CPRA and the FTC in the United States).

Changing your charging currency: why numeric amounts are relabelled without exchange-rate conversion and how prices update in Stripe

In the Charging currency block, you pick the currency used for every price on your site (such as USD, EUR, MXN, COP, CLP, ARS, among others) and see an instant Format preview of how amounts will read.

If you already have offers created in your catalogue and change the currency, keep in mind how the update works when you confirm:

  • Numeric amounts are relabelled, NOT converted by exchange rate: a price written as 1,200 stays 1,200 in the new currency (for example, moving from 1,200 MXN to 1,200 USD or 1,200 EUR). This is intentional because converting automatically at the daily exchange rate would leave awkward decimal prices like 58.43 across your catalogue; it is always better to review and adjust your commercial prices in Catalogue → All offers after switching currencies.
  • If Stripe is already connected: when you save the currency change, véltica automatically creates the new prices in your Stripe account under the new currency and retires the old ones.
  • Past sales and active subscriptions are untouched: historical sales already recorded are never altered, and customers with an active subscription continue billing in their original currency.

In the third block, Site language, you choose which language this specific project uses to serve your visitors and buyers (Spanish or English).

Changing the Site language automatically translates every customer-facing screen and message generated by the system:

  • The buttons, steps, and notices on your booking page and checkout.
  • The automated emails your customers receive when they confirm, reschedule, or cancel an appointment, or when they purchase an offer.
  • The language of the legal templates and Automatic version policies inside Settings → Policies (if you already wrote or edited a policy by hand, your custom text is left untouched).

Key difference between Site language and Panel language: the setting in Settings → Region and currency only changes the language your customers see on this project. The language you see in the dashboard and editor is chosen separately from your User menu and travels with your personal account across all your projects. That way, you can use your dashboard in English while running a customer-facing site entirely in Spanish (or vice versa).
