5 For formatting a price we need the following data:
6
7 * **thousands separator** . or , depending on the country
8 * **decimal point** , or . depending on the country
9 * **currency symbol** € or other depending on the currency
10 * **price pattern** currency symbol before or after price depending on the currency
11 * **decimal count** 1 or 2 decimal counts depending on the currency
12
13 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:
