Amazon.com has launched a new feature on its website, enabling international customers to pay for their purchases in the currency of their payment card, instead of U.S. dollars.

Amazon.com currently ships to over 200 countries worldwide; before the launch of the Currency Converter, international customers were often unaware of the amount of their final purchase price until they received their payment card statement. Now, the company claims its customers will know the exact amount of their purchase, including relevant shipping charges, prior to completing their purchase.Currently, the Amazon Currency Converter supports payment cards denominated in 11 currencies, including the Australian dollar, Danish krone, euro, Hong Kong dollar, Japanese yen, New Zealand dollar, Norwegian krone, pound sterling, South African rand, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc, and the company plans to add more currencies in the future.
