We charge in USD. Our fastest growing market is Germany.

Build In Public

The mismatch is starting to cost us.

German finance teams want invoices in euros. Our billing system only supports USD. The exchange rate fluctuation means each monthly charge is a slightly different amount in their books which creates reconciliation headaches their accounting processes aren't designed for.

Two German prospects explicitly cited USD-only billing as the reason they chose a European competitor over us. Both preferred our product. Neither could justify the accounting overhead of recurring charges in a foreign currency that vary monthly with exchange rates.

Multi-currency billing is on our roadmap but it's a significant engineering and operational investment for a small team. The tax implications alone in different jurisdictions require professional guidance we haven't budgeted for. Meanwhile every month that passes is another month of deals we're losing in a market that's growing faster than our home market.
