Hi,

Are there any plans for billing in currencies other than US dollars in
the future? Bank and credit card fees for translating back/forth can
begin to add up over time. This might even save Tucows/OpenSRS some
money, too (e.g. not having to convert US Dollars to Canadian dollars,
to pay employees, but instead use the Canadian dollar revenues).

There'd be more overhead, though, potentially, taking in multiple
currencies, so it's a matter of whether the benefits (potential extra
market share, too, from more flexible billing) exceed those costs. The
"base price" could still be in US Dollars, but then when one goes to
fund one's account, it could grab a real-time quote from www.XE.com or
other systems, to determine a "fair" mid-market rate to use for the
exchange rate, and bill in that currency.

Sincerely,
