The Shopsite shopping cart can be setup to display an alternate currency type for your customers. This proves especially useful for merchants dealing with customers outside of their country. Note however that Shopsite's alternate currency is for 'display-only'. This means that your primary currency type is what will be used when customers add products to the shopping cart.
