    Why are you using JPY currency symbol, when I presume your prices are actually in HKD? ¥35.93 is about USD 0.23. HKD 35.93 is about 4.97 USD.

    is supposed to be CNY
    ¥ is supposed to be JPY.
    The difference is half width/full width character
    Example

    Hmmm, I guess technically it does exist but I can't say I've ever seen ¥used for CNY.

    元 is used inside China and bank notes use the full form 圆. In English texts, I've only ever seen CNY or RMB used.

    I've also seen 元 used for HKD, albeit rarely (and usually by mainlanders), it's almost always printed as $ or HK$.

    Interestingly the Japanese word yen is a loan word from Chinese yuan, and the symbol used in Japanese 円 is a Japanese specific simplification of 圓. So, I guess it makes sense they'd share the same latinised ¥, but as I said, I've never actually seen anyone use it for CNY. Korean won is also derived from the same word.

    But anyway, aren't these prices in HKD not CNY? Seems weird for a Hong Kong based company to be pricing in CNY, especially when selling internationally.

    HK mostly uses $ symbol and I have never saw computer printed using 元 at HK.
    That means their main clientale must be mainlanders. But, it's not that significant because HKD to CNY is almost 1:1. Although, with JPY, it's roughly 20

    It's not helped that your website doesn't give your address anywhere, and the only reference to being based in Hong Kong is in light grey on a white background so you can only read it by highlighting the text.

    Hello, our page defaults to showing prices in CNY (RMB). When you pay via Alipay or WeChat Pay, there are no currency conversions and no transaction fees. When paying via Stripe, the amount will be converted to USD, and a processing fee of 3.9% + $0.50 per transaction (charged by Stripe) will apply.

    Yea its silly to use that symbol to represent CNY. If your Chinese use 元 or yuan or RMB. Meanwhile, CNY or sometimes RMB is used in international markets. I'm guessing they don't use HKD because they are targeting Mainland China customers.

    Yeah, I think I've only ever seen 元 at markets on handwritten signs. Kind of surprising as it's no easier to write than 文 and I don't think I've ever seen that written down ever, even though it would match spoken canto.

    Cryptocurrency will be launched as an optional payment method in the near future. There are no issues with Wise; if you have any other questions, feel free to open a ticket.
