Not that the dollar is going anywhere, but I have now closed my US dollar shop. My Australian dollar shop is now my primary online outlet.
You can find my handmade jewellery shop at: www.shop.simonewalsh.com.
If you have bookmarks to the old web address for my Australian dollar shop they will automatically redirect to the new address.
This is a change I’ve been thinking about for some time – and was in part decided upon after I undertook a currency survey a few months ago.
Running two largely identical shops meant a doubling up of work and fees, which wasn’t ideal. Also the nature of my business has changed and I’m making fewer sales to US customers and a lot more to customers in Australia and Europe. This meant that the US dollar shop was less relevant to the majority of my customers.
So now I’ve streamlined to just one shop, which should make my life easier and buying less confusing for local customers in particular!
I’m planning to make some changes to the shop functionality and layout in the near future. As part of that I plan to add some functionality which will give an idea of prices in various other currencies. Checkout will still be in Australian dollars at this stage, but if you aren’t in Australia you will at least have a good idea of what your order will cost you in your local currency.
