Definition for zero decimal currencies

Zero decimal currencies are those that do not require decimal places in their monetary value. These currencies are often used in regions where smaller units of currency are not commonly utilized in everyday transactions. Examples include the Japanese Yen (JPY), where prices are typically expressed as whole numbers without decimals.

Example with Japanese Yen (JPY)

In Japan, prices are expressed in whole numbers without any decimal places. For instance, an item might be priced at 1,000 JPY rather than 1,000.00 JPY. This practice simplifies transactions and is a key characteristic of zero decimal currencies. When dealing with these currencies in Recurly, merchants should be mindful that the system will process amounts as whole numbers, without any fractional currency.
