1 In this short guide, I will tell you how to use Spreadshirt's shop, country and currency data to format your prices correctly.
2
3 For formatting a price we need the following data:
4
5 * thousands separator . or , depending on the country
6 * decimal point -> , or . depending on the country
7 * currency symbol -> € or other depending on the currency
8 * price pattern -> currency symbol before or after price depending on the currency
9 * decimal count -> 1 or 2 decimal counts depending on the currency
10
11 Where do we get this data from? A shop, such as [[shop 205909>>http://api.spreadshirt.net/api/v1/shops/205909]], is actually configured for a specific country and currency. A sample payload is illustrated below:
