As one of the largest economies in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has a population of 270 million and a rapidly growing e-commerce market. However, the currency conversion issue is often a major obstacle to cross-border transactions when processing payment requests from Indonesian users. In this paper, we will delve into how to effectively address this issue to improve user experience and reduce transaction costs.<\/p>\n
The Indonesian Rupiah (\"IDR\", code IDR) is one of the lower-value currencies in Southeast Asia. It is characterised by its large denomination, relatively frequent exchange rate fluctuations, and the number of decimal places (usually displayed to two decimal places). This characteristic makes it necessary to pay special attention to accuracy issues when processing in the system.<\/p>\n
According to Bank Indonesia, IDR is a partially convertible currency. This means:<\/p>\n
Understanding these characteristics is critical to designing a payment process.<\/p>\n
Many international card organisations offer DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion), which allows cardholders to choose to settle in their home currency instead of the merchant's pricing currency. This may seem convenient, but it actually hides high fees:<\/p>\n
Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n Some payment gateways add an opaque mark-up to the base exchange rate as a source of revenue.<\/p>\n Coping strategies:<\/strong><\/p>\n The following practices are recommended:<\/p>\n Currency conversions produce different results when the price of goods is inclusive or exclusive of taxes:<\/p>\n Best practice is to show the localised price including tax right on the product page rather than converting it afterwards.<\/p>\n III.

Sample Scenario:
\r\nPrice before tax:$100 \u2192 (at 1:14000) = 1,400,000IDR \u2192 +11%VAT = 1,554,000IDR
\r\nPrice including tax: 111 USD \u2192 (at the same exchange rate) = 1554000 IDR
