Does OnJam support different currencies?
When you sign up as an artist for OnJam, you will be asked to select a currency. You can choose one of the following: USD, GBP, EUR, CAD and AUD. We recommend you select the currency that you'd like to receive payouts in. This will minimise conversion costs and ensure you can receive your share of revenue quickly. Usually the currency will match the place you're performing from, but not always. Your audience members will buy tickets in this currency no matter where they are located.
