My company is based in Botswana and I would therefore like to change the currency on the payslips generated to BWP.

At the moment, changing the currency on the payroll payslip to your home currency is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO). In the meantime, if you wanted to pay your employees using a different currency, you may need to create a new supplier using your employee's information.

 

To do this, here's how:

  1. Copy your employee's info.
  2. Create a supplier with your employee's info.
  3. Pay your employee.

 

For more detailed steps on the process, see this article: Multi-currency FAQ. It also contains answers to frequently asked questions about using multi-currency.

 

I can see how the feature you're looking for would benefit and empower your business. In the meantime, I recommend sending this request straight to our product engineers through feedback. Sharing features and options that you would like implemented is how our engineers look for new product updates.

 

To send feedback, follow the below steps:

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. 
  4. Then select Next to submit feedback.

 

You may also visit our Feedback forum page. From there, you can see a list of other QuickBooks users who already suggested this feature, as well as the recent updates in QuickBooks.

 

If you need anything else concerning your QBO account, please let me know. I want to help in any way I can. Have a good day.
