Website price currency clarification

[TexZeTech]

This is something that bothers me as someone who lives in Canada and sees this all too often.

The first place I see the price is on https://hexos.com/#earlyaccess listed at "$199" (as of 2024/12/24) only to find out later that its all priced in USD.
My irritation stems from the fact that $199 USD ≠ $285.88 CAD

I don't mind that the price is in USD and I'm happy to see the actual store page listing has that clarification however that clarification should be also on any page that has a price listed.

So my request is to please be consistent with this information across your website.

I also appreciate that that someone at least did this to the store listing.

I thought it was common practice to just assume it is USD if the website is a .com and assume CAD if the website is a .ca

Many Canadian websites using .com don't specify if prices are CAD or USD, which is confusing. For example, https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/ list prices without specifying, while others (like LTTstore) use .com but clearly state USD.

Since Hexos targets international customers, it's crucial they clearly state their currency (CAD or USD) next to prices. This builds trust, avoids confusion, and can boost sales by removing uncertainty for international buyers.. A simple currency symbol cannot suffice for the task since several countries use the same one (like canada, usa and australia).

Guess it's just my good ol' MURICAN mentality to not think about catering to the rest of the world until it's pointed out.
