If you’re a seller on WooCommerce, you can withdraw your sales proceeds into the World Account. With the World Account, you can hold your multi-currrency funds, make conversions at competitive FX rates, remit to your bank account, or pay your third-party suppliers abroad. You can even make purchases at wholesale sites like 1688.com directly with your World Account balance. With a few simple steps, you can start withdrawing your WooCommerce sales proceeds into the World Account.
The type of Receiving Account should I set up for my WooCommerce store
The World Account allows you to set up Receiving Accounts in over 15 currencies. If you use WooPayments to accept payments from customers, you should set up Receiving Account in currencies that correspond with your deposit currencies.
Deposit currency is the currency with which WooPayments settles into your bank account. WooPayments can accept customer payments in over 100 currencies. When customer currency is different from your deposit currency, you’ll be charged a conversion fee from WooPayments.
WooPayments allows sellers in certain countries to have multiple deposit currencies. You can read here to find out the eligible deposit currencies for your country.
If you have multiple deposit currencies, you can set up one receiving account for each to minimize your currency conversion costs.
