Central African CFA Franc (XAF) is supported via Adaptive Currency on Dodo Payments, enabling merchants to accept payments from customers in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.

Displaying prices in XAF helps customers across the Central African franc zone see familiar amounts at checkout, reducing friction and improving conversion rates.

## Adaptive Currency

XAF is supported through Dodo Payments' **Adaptive Currency** feature. When enabled:

- **Automatic conversion** -- Prices convert from your base currency to XAF using live exchange rates
- **Customer-facing fees** -- A 2-4% conversion fee applies (based on order value), borne by the customer
- **Your settlement is unchanged** -- You receive funds in your configured base currency
- **Transparent pricing** -- Customers see the converted amount and any applicable fees before confirming

## Pricing Strategy

When pricing in XAF, consider:

- **Minimum transaction amount** -- Ensure your lowest-priced product exceeds the 300 XAF minimum to avoid failed charges
- **Round numbers** -- Local consumers respond better to psychologically rounded price points in their currency
- **Consistency** -- Keep pricing tiers logical in XAF even after conversion from your base currency

## Supported Payment Methods

Customers paying in XAF can use all globally available payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Additional local payment methods may be available depending on the customer's country.

## Refunds

Refunds for transactions in XAF are issued in the currency the customer originally paid. Dodo Payments uses the latest exchange rate at refund time, so the customer may receive slightly more or less than the original XAF amount depending on FX movement.
