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!

Spy_Gentleman: PLN at GOG. Such a glorious moment, Steam doesn't even have that and it's stuck to the bullshit EUR for a long damn time.
yeah i was wondering too. i though poland is about to get a new currency, so why bother with pln anyway: the kaczyński coins (kc) :)
Thank you GOG for finally adding CAD, I'm hoping that will be the better option for pricing stability here in Canada now. It's definitely a step in the right direction, however I wonder when you're going to go all the way and support payment in:

- <span class="bold">Canadian Tire Money</span>
- <span class="bold">Wooden nickels</span>

Can't wait, I've got a couple hundred dollars of Canadian Tire Money!

grinninglich: Still waiting for TRY.

Clearsong: DO. Or DO NOT. There is no TRY.

/yoda
That might as well be with the current inflation of that currency.
probably in relation to inflation of a certain ego and I don't mean anyone on GOG ...
soon gog will accept your blood as payment too!

hmmm .... can i pay with my soul too? what would i get for it?

gamesfreak64: why do so many EU countries still have their own currency?
avatar
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 :)
I don't see how a nation can even call itself a nation while not having their own unique currency. Same goes for the open-border travel within the EU.

They will get a new currency ? I cant find anything on that...
basically it would be 'fun' if Brussels converted everyone to use Euros, afterall.... one Eu... one currency ...
Britain has referendum ..... i think they stay (and they will accept all the consequences and extra bull they be getting from EU) i guess : 51 tot 59% for remain : reason: income and money... nothing seems to matter . only cash counts...


Wasnt there a song or movie about ? i cant remember it... it is old , but i cant remember the title, i do know it was a musical or something like that.
Anyway the Eu has its own blue flag for all members so one coin would fit aswell ?
high rated
Next currency => Bitcoin
What is the purpose of adding additional currencies when the prices are just converted from EUR to PLN?


For Example Dying Light Enhanced Edition - 212 PLN on GOG (digital) and 91 PLN in shops across Poland (boxed)..

Shame on You GOG

so i was right all the time.... i knew that countries like Poland and Hungary were smartter then us Dutch....
well i admire you for that and i think many dutch people admire you aswell.... our government bows to every
You "admire" because you know little about it:
1) Poland (Polish citizens) is loosing several billions (10^9) each year because of exchange of money. Most of it is related to Euro (PLN -> EUR and vise versa).
2) "foreign investors" sees Poland and PLN (Polski Zloty which literally means Polish Golden) as not so stable. Actually they don't take Poland as single country but are looking for entire region (together with Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and others). Every "incident" on those single markets causes reaction for entire region. They buying local currencies and investing or they withdrawing their money back. It all causes our currencies as not much stable (comparing to Euro or US Dollar).
3) Every importer of goods is keeping prices higher because PLN can loose its worth in any moment and importers don't want to loose money.
4) Bank loans for companies (and for single customers) have higher percentage because of above risk. It means higher total cost of business (and living).

Polish citizens voted in referendum not only for access to United Europe but for Euro currency too. Unfortunately populistic politicians are playing "patriotic card" and are making "brain washing" to poor people who don't know how things work. Playing with "fiscal policies" is dangerous and in log run makes Poland weaker and Polish citizens poorer.

Don't complain about Euro. It's one of the best things that happened to European countries.

Greece, Spain and other countries don't have problem with Euro. They have problem with overgrown socials.

Thank you.... yes i know about that, you are from Australia ?
i have seen some links pointing to videos from Australian Government
some make a lot of sense

Unfortunately according to 10 thousands of online discussionsit seems, we the EU people should keep quit cause all things happening are for a greater cause, so therefore were not allowed to complain or nag, cause the things happening are for the better and we will be all better people when its done.
So thats why people are asked politely to shut up, and let all stuff come over us....
in short we have no sayings and mus accept all EU tells us to do.

250K fine
google for it :D
its absurd ... but EU tells us: Don't give me no lip
so we zipped it and we will be silent or else big old Sue will come to get us and hits us were it hurts ( in the wallet)
Anyway we do still have a Demockracy ..... so its not that bad i guess.
This is wonderful.

Thanks for the answer... i agree on 99%
but i and we dutch do know whats going on....
too much power for EU laws that only benfit the big EU people, the big industry and very rich people
the common man will always loose on any front.
Inability to make our own laws, cause 1 EU law cannot fit 28 countries, all EU laws cant be overruled once set, cant be reversed.

So i agree 99%... but i cant agree that EU is the best way, maybe for very poor countries, but we dutch were doing very well in the past, we were small but present, now we are still very small but were not present anymore...
The thing we admire is the fact that the small east european countries as they call these, do have a spine and dare to speak out for themselves, if you could read dutch you would see that many dutch admire these small countries...
but we just cant admire the EU...

blotunga: Never let Paypal do the conversion. Visa's conversion for example is extremely good.
That isn't true where I live. I used to use Paypal exclusively, mainly as a security measure, to put a wall between shop and my money. After pondering a while on the new security model offered by gog, I have let them remember mine and use it directly (after writing that I'm never going to in the relevant thread, go figure).

Paypal: $25.09 = 627CZK, comes out as 24.992 rate. Official exchange rate at that day was 23.966, 1.026 paypal's cut.

Visa: $18.88 = 465.21CZK -> 24.735 exchange rate, official rate was 23.798, 0.842 visa's cut

Visa comes out slightly better, but only by very small margin, there are not many meaningful things one could buy for the 3.40CZK difference. That's about one [url=https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soubor:Výroba_rohlíku_(25).JPG]roll[/url], on pretty large purchase.

If there is larger gap, it may be because Paypal likes to charge the account in weird currencies, so there may be double conversion involved. It took me 3 support requests to make them charge me in CZK and not in EUR.

apehater: i was just joking
its okay, the joke is on me , and i can appreciate a good joke, your joke was better then the kojes or MP tries to make everytime, which is why he is always the only one laughing :D

99% is all about our MP, grinning all the way, i have seen many many leaders from every country ( thats the beauty of you tube you can see many leaders giving speeches)
and our MP is the most grinning... thats not good, we need a serious MP.
