(PRWEB) July 09, 2015 -- iHerb, one of the world’s largest and most successful e-commerce companies, has expanded its online shopping hub to accept 35 currencies from across the globe.
iHerb is an international online retailer of nutritional supplement and wellness products, bath and beauty items, specialty grocery items, superfoods, products for kids and babies, pets, creams and lotions, aromatherapy and fitness products.
“We believe strongly that providing pricing in local currency supports our mission of best overall value with e-simplicity,” said John McCarthy, iHerb’s vice president of marketing. “In this case, the local currency helps customers not only appreciate iHerb’s low pricing, but also save up to 3% on foreign exchange translation fees.”
McCarthy said the additional currencies are now integrated with its country and language selector tool, which also helps customers in other ways. For example, Korean customers will likely prefer the Korean Won to pay for their purchases. Non-native customers who live in Korea, however, may be (for example) Japanese or Chinese nationality, preferring the currencies of their native countries. The currency options also aid customers who are on extended travel or living abroad. He said the new currency functions will be available not just on desktop, tablet and mobile platforms, but also via apps for both Apple and Android.
In alphabetical order below, the currencies now accepted by iHerb include:
Argentine Peso
Australian Dollar

McCarthy said the latest improvement to its system reflects the company’s commitment to its international customers and is part of an ongoing effort to evaluate and improve the customer experience.
