When you create your first Fundraising page using Action Network, it will ask you to configure either WePay or Stripe. If your Stripe’s base currency is £, then your Fundraiser forms will offer GBP (Example: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/give-to-the-green-party).

Unfortunately, the reporting on the graph in the home dashboard cannot be configured to feature a different currency than USD.

You must have a Stripe or WePay account to take payments in Action Network.

Create a Stripe account: https://dashboard.stripe.com/register
