# AJAX API now supports multi-currency

The AJAX API has been updated to support multi-currency for Shopify Payments. This means that monetary values are now returned in the customer's cart currency.

***

As of April 9, 2019 the AJAX API price, discount and total values now reflect the customer's presentment currency on multi-currency enabled stores using Shopify Payments. This change impacts following endpoints:

* `/cart.js`
* `/products/{product-handle}.js`
* `/recommendations/products.json`

EDIT: As of April 26 2019 this change also applies to all monetary fields returned by the shipping rates endpoint.

* `/cart/shipping_rates.json`

All monetary fields returned by these endpoints are returned in the customer's presentment currency. The ISO code for this currency is available via the `currency` field on the `/cart.js` endpoint.

You can find out more about supporting multi-currency in our [migration guide](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/guides/multi-currency-migration-guide) and further reading about the AJAX API can be found in [the reference documentation](https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/development/getting-started/using-ajax-api).
