**Example: How Currency Conversion Works**

Let’s say you sell a product for €100 EUR, and your home currency is USD:
1. Shopify processes the payment and converts it to $110 USD
2. SyncTools retrieves both the original amount (€100) and the converted amount ($110)
3. SyncTools creates an entry in QuickBooks showing:

- Revenue of $110 USD
