3. Select the location and currency for this new account

This page will show you the locations where you can create a Global Account and the currencies the Global Accounts can accept.

After selecting a location, a list of all the supported currencies and their supported payment methods will be shown on the right panel. For certain locations, multiple currencies can be supported by a single Global Account. Supported payment methods may differ for each currency.
Once you have identified a Global Account that supports your use cases, pick an account nickname—or use the default—and hit ‘Create Global Account’. Most accounts will be created instantly, but some may require additional processing time.
