Most of the time you won't need to. The follow-ups arrive in roughly this order.* Also asked as: Can we have the price in euros?; Can you confirm the cost in pounds? > **The quick answer:** Yes, a cushion quote can be given in pounds or euros on request, though quotes are normally written in US dollars. At checkout the marketplace converts the dollar price into your account's currency automatically, at its own rate, which can differ slightly from a Google conversion. Payment goes through the marketplace payment link, which also accepts PayPal. ![Terracotta pet-friendly bay window seat cushion on a white paneled base, tabby cat asleep beside linen pillows in low sun](https://cushionguide.com/media/bay-window-cushions/terracotta-bay-window-seat-cushion-tabby-cat-parquet-1600.webp "A deep terracotta seat warms the white joinery and picks up the honey tones of the herringbone floor.") ## Key facts - Quotes are normally written in US dollars. - The marketplace converts the price to your currency automatically at checkout. - Its rate can differ slightly from a Google conversion. - Quotes have been given directly in pounds or euros on request. - Currency quotes were sometimes rounded in the buyer's favor. - The payment link accepts PayPal. ## “Can you quote me in pounds?” Yes. Ask, and the workshop has written the figure in pounds or euros directly. Sometimes it rounded the number in your favor. The usual quote is in US dollars. That is not a refusal. It is simply where every price starts. The conversion happens later, on its own. A quote begins with measurements, not currency. The [custom cushion quote Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-quote-what-to-send/) lists what to send, and the [bench cushion builder](https://cushionguide.com/studio/bench-cushion-builder/) helps you settle the size first. ## “Then what do I actually pay?” You pay in your own currency. The marketplace converts the dollar price at checkout, using your account's country and currency settings, at its own daily rate. That rate is its own. So the total can sit a little above or below what a Google conversion showed you that morning. Check the final figure at checkout, before you pay. Which currency does your account show at checkout? Dollars on the quote. Your currency at checkout. A small gap between them is normal. ## “Does PayPal work?” Yes. Custom orders are paid through a payment link, and that link accepts PayPal. You don't need a separate arrangement for it. If you want the euro or pound figure in writing before you open the link, ask in the same message as your measurements. One message, one answer. More about who writes these answers is on [Hana's page](https://cushionguide.com/masters/hana/). ## Four checks before you pay - ✓ Read the quote in US dollars. That figure is the price the workshop set. - ✓ Ask for pounds or euros in the same message if you'd like the number written that way. - ✓ Look at the total in your currency at checkout, not in a converter. - ✓ Choose PayPal on the payment link if you prefer it. > **Tailor's margin:** A cushion quote is written in US dollars; if you want pounds or euros, ask, and check the converted total at checkout, not in a converter. > A custom cushion quote in US dollars becomes your own currency at checkout, and the marketplace rate can sit slightly off a Google conversion. > > — Hana ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Can you give me the price in euros or pounds? **The workshop's answer:** Quotes are in US dollars. The marketplace converts the price to your currency at checkout, so the figure may differ slightly from a Google conversion. Check the total in your currency at checkout. **A common question:** Can I pay with PayPal, or have the quote in euros? **The workshop's answer:** Yes to both. Payment goes through the marketplace payment link, which accepts PayPal. Quotes are in US dollars, but euro prices have been given on request, for a set of backyard bench cushions and for a window seat. **A common question:** Can I pay in pounds? **The workshop's answer:** You pay in your own currency, because the marketplace converts it automatically at checkout. The workshop has also written custom quotes directly in pounds, for a window seat cushion and for a custom corner cushion. **A common question:** Could you convert the quote for me? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. The workshop converts quotes on request and has given pound and euro prices directly, sometimes rounded in the buyer's favor. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Why doesn't my checkout total match my own currency conversion? The marketplace converts at its own daily rate, based on your account's country and currency settings, so it rarely matches a converter exactly. The US dollar quote is the price; the local figure follows the rate on the day. ### Is a sale already inside the dollar price? The dollar quote is the figure you pay before conversion, so whatever pricing applies that day is already in it. Multi-piece orders have been quoted a set price below the single prices, so ask for one if you're ordering several. ### Why did the price in my currency suddenly jump? Usually either a sale price has just ended or the day's exchange rate moved. Check the dollar figure first: if it changed too, ask the workshop about it in the same message as your measurements; if only your local figure moved, that's the rate. ## Related at the atelier - [My budget is lower than your quote.
