Make your purchases in PLN, CAD, CHF, NOK, SEK, or DKK



Today we are adding six new local currency options to our store. From now on, if you are making purchases from Poland, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, or Denmark, you will be able to pay in your local currency, i.e. PLN, CAD, CHF, NOK, SEK, or DKK, respectively.

If you live in one of these beautiful countries, you're already able to choose between USD and EUR. Now, you get a third payment option: your local currency. Any store credit you may already have in USD or EUR remains unchanged and can be used for future purchases made in those currencies.
For more information on how our store credit works, check out this <span class="bold">FAQ</span>.

You can easily switch between your currency options using the drop-down menu at the website's footer or by going to Account → Orders & Settings → Account and Locale.



Having more options is always useful and a familiar currency can go a long way towards helping you plan your gaming budget. Now, you can do your DRM-free shopping in eleven currencies : USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, RUB, PLN, CAD, CHF, NOK, SEK, or DKK. Enjoy!

JudasIscariot: Because they can set their own fiscal policies rather than relying on Brussels :) There are quite a number of reasons but I know I heard that fiscal policy was one of them :)

Pica-Ludica: I can't speak for other countries - geopolitics is not my forte - but Switzerland is simply not part of the EU. :) It's a European country geographically speaking, but not part of the European Union or the Euro Zone. Hence, the CHF is still in use.
Of course :) The other "EU countries that kept their own currency" we were discussing were Poland, Sweden, the UK, and Denmark :)

Lodium: Yes, i coud choose between Dollar, Euro and Norwegian kr once the local currency had been implemented.
Had to switch manually from dollar to get the norwegian kroner though.
The only reason i can think of why euro or dollar is default is because of the status as world currency Euro and Dollar have in many contrys.

HunchBluntley: But had you been using EUR or USD here before NOK was added? I think that gets to the heart of what he's asking.

And by the way, people, my question here was genuine, not rhetorical. : )
USD mostly.
I coud chose Euro as well but usally it was cheaper to just use dollar than euro.

Flaose: We can't pay in Euros, no. Up until now our only option was to pay in USD. [...]
Thanks. : )

Crosmando: IOU's (I owe yous, otherwise known as "I'll pay you back later bro, I promise")
But GOG already accepts credit cards!

JudasIscariot: It has a github but I seriously recommend playing the Windows version via Wine because the Linux version has serious UI issues....

HunchBluntley: It's an ASCII-based Roguelike -- they ALL have serious UI issues. :P
Indeed! :) I guess my backlog is too large that a game with such a UI has much of a chance at the moment.

Whoa! Seems i'm late to the party.. again.
Just checked the prices on a few games and PLN seems to give me a wee bit better offer than USD. Aaand i don't have to use PayPal, at least i think so, i didn't check if my debit card works here, but LEGO liked, i'm sure so will GOG. Great!

At last PLN currency! Thank you GOG. ;)
Posted May 08, 2016
Yay, Canadian Currency! I've been waiting for so long. Thank you GOG.com!

Now more people can go broke in their own currency.

Extraordinary! :D

Has this already gone live? All I see is USD in both the drop-down menu and the account settings locale page.

Japanese local currency and appropriate exchange rate would be nice. But I won't hold my breath given the Dying Light stupidity in Japan still hasn't been fixed.

It's out on Steam and retail (consoles, etc.) and has been since end of April. GOG are dragging their feet and driving customers to Steam. Real smart given that Steam is significantly cheaper.
