Even though my currency is set to euros, the invoice template generated by {$invoice.asciiLayout} shows a dollar sign for the amounts. Can this be changed?

   It certainly can be changed. We can go two ways:

   1. Customize the invoice entirely.
      
   2. Wait for us to deploy a patch to change the currency on the convenience var.

   For the first option, there are some KB Articles and an example:

   https://gist.github.com/800598#file_invoice_layout.txt
   http://support.cheddargetter.com/kb/operational-how-tos/email-notif...
   http://support.cheddargetter.com/kb/operational-how-tos/email-notif...

   For the second option, we'd be happy to expedite a patch through deployment.

   Just let us know how you'd like to proceed.

   I'll look into customizing the invoice, but it may be interesting to patch as there are a few other places where it shows up in dollars, like the customer invoice history GUI.

   To be clear, I would prefer the patch but if it needs more than a day, I'll customize the invoice. Let me know!

   It would unfortunately be a bit longer than a day. Probably a week.

   Does the invoice variable $charge.eachAmount display without a dollar sign? Also, is there a way to quickly test this?

   Correct.

   Also, is there a way to quickly test this?

   The "Payment Receipt" preview contains some fake charges. You should be able to see it there if you've specified charges in the template. Maybe something like this:

   {foreach from=$charges item="charge"}
       {if $charge.type == 'recurring'}
           Subscription: {$charge.eachAmount|string_format:"%01.2f"}
       {elseif $charge.type == 'setup'}
           Setup Fee: {$charge.eachAmount|string_format:"%01.2f"}
       {elseif $charge.type == 'item'}
           {$charge.description}: {$charge.quantity}@{$charge.eachAmount} = {$charge.quantity*$charge.eachAmount|string_format:"%01.2f"}
       {elseif $charge.type == 'custom'}
           {$charge.description}: {$charge.quantity}@{$charge.eachAmount} = {$charge.quantity*$charge.eachAmount|string_format:"%01.2f"}
       {/if}
   {/foreach}

   Any plans on patching up the templates to support rendering other currencies?

   Thanks,

   Can you please apply option 2 (deploy a patch) to our product with the code betmate? All currency info should be EUR instead of $.

   Thank you.
