    hey guys,
    Setting up an ecommerce shop to sell worldwide through aliexpress.
    I'm based in U.K. And was going to set up in £.(pounds) But is it better to set up in $ (dollars) when targeting worldwide?
    Thanks

    Yes, if you are selling international then go for USD ($).

    Though I would recommend using local currency for popular countries. Example if a visitor from UK arrived at your website then show Pound, Euro for France visitor, etc.

    Yes, I did it for my ecommerce store using a plugin for woocommerce.
    How is your site made? Which CMS?

    Guess in $ is more preferable. Just my two cents.
