How to read the lira in the corner
The chip is a Central Bank bulletin, not a promise to invoice you in lira.
Once a day the site asks the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye for today’s XML bulletin and stores the US dollar forex buying and selling rates. The price you see in lira uses the forex selling rate: the Bank’s published figure for selling dollars.
The bulletin carries its own date and number. We show both. If you open the site on a Sunday, do not expect a Sunday bulletin. The Bank publishes on business days, and the chip should be read as “latest stored bulletin”, not as “this exact minute”.
Switching the corner to TRY makes lira the large number and leaves the dollar underneath. Switching to USD does the opposite. The list price does not change. Only the emphasis does.
When Stripe opens, the charge currency will be stated on the checkout itself. Until then, treat every lira figure as a reading aid.
