In Bigcommerce, you may establish various currencies to use in the store. If more than one currency is enabled, your customers are allowed to choose among the currencies that you have set up in a currency converter. System will default a currency according to the location that you chose when you created the account. For example, If you selected “Hong Kong” for the question <Where is your business based?>, Hong Kong dollar will appear in the list of currencies in the store. If you wish the store support other currencies, click the <Add Currency> button.

Note: Only one type of currency can be used as the default currency. Default currency is not only the currency that displays in the store, but also the currency in all transactions and invoices.

You will find the prices of this batch of cloned listings become GBP 20 after the duplication.
