Currency editing is currently not available for subscription billing, but we're working to add this functionality in the future. If your creator uses subscription billing and you'd like to change the currency you pay in, you can cancel and sign up again in your desired currency. Keep in mind that this starts a new membership — if you're on an annual plan, you'll lose any remaining prepaid time and be charged again for a full year, rather than switching currencies mid-term.

You can learn more about how we calculate the exchange rate here: How tiers are converted into other currencies.
