Imagine that you have a business in a commercial area of your city or that you have an online shop to offer your products. Is 12:30am and your client, a woman between 25 and 30 years old, could choose among different online shops, but finally she chooses yours. After several minutes scouring the shelves or browsing your product catalogue, she decides to start the checkout and is informed the amount to pay. She chooses to pay with card, and in the currency of her country, and thanks to DCC Multicurrency, you can offer this functionality in order to improve the shopping experience.

Shopping process takes place in a few seconds and it seems that the only business objective achieved is the sale. But if you look at every detail of the consumer journey, you will see that in each step, you can gather information of every step of that process. For example, you can have statistics related to the time and day where you have more sales; Saturdays among 12:00 am and 02:00 pm in the point of sales and between 09:00 pm and 11:30 pm in the online shop. Moreover, you can know that the he commonest payment method in the point of sale is credit card and online is bank transfer or instalment payments. Also, you can know that 35% of your sales come from European Union countries and the 60% are made by women and the 40% by men. Or for example, that the 25% of your customers repeat the purchase every two months and the 45% repeats but they buy different products.
