Why it happens
- The price was shown in one currency and charged in another.
- A currency conversion was applied wrongly.

Currency Discrepancy
The charge was submitted in a different currency from the one agreed with the card member, or with a conversion error.
What to send to fight it
- The receipt or checkout page showing the currency the card member agreed to.
- The transaction record with the same currency.
- Processor reports showing the settlement currency.
How to prevent it
- Charge in the currency shown at checkout.
- Show the currency clearly next to every price.
