Prices and currencies
How currencies work, and who can see your prices
In Valise, you can record what each work is priced at, what it sold for, and what it cost to make. You set the retail price and add expenses on the artwork, and enter sale prices when you record a sale.
Each amount has its own currency, so each artwork can be priced differently in dollars, euros, or pounds. You can also choose who in your vault sees prices, and whether prices appear on share links and PDFs.
Currencies
Your vault has a default currency, which you choose when you create the vault. New prices, sales, and expenses start in that currency. You can change the default under Settings → General, and changing it won’t affect amounts you’ve already entered.
To use a different currency for one price, sale, or expense, choose it from the menu beside the amount. Every price on a sale, including net to artist, is in the same currency.
Mixed currencies
Valise doesn’t convert between currencies. If your sales are in more than one currency, the totals on the Sales page show a separate line for each. The expenses total on an artwork works the same way.
A price filter compares the number and ignores the currency. To find works over $5,000 USD, you can add one filter for the amount and a second for the currency.

Who sees prices
By default, everyone in your vault can see prices. Share links and PDFs don’t include them.
| If you want to | You can |
|---|---|
| Hide prices from a team member | Turn off their pricing access. They won’t see sale or expense amounts either. |
| Hide prices on your own screen | Turn on Mask prices in the user menu. This only changes what you see. |
| Show prices on a share link or PDF | Turn on Retail Price under Fields when you share a collection or export a PDF. |
