GraXXoR:
Am I misunderstanding? I believe the shop has determined the Yen price of the product... 29,000 Yen is far too neat and tidy to be a dynamic translation of $204.
Whenever I use Paypal to convert cash, the price ends up something random looking, like ¥28,459...
29,000 is clearly a set price in YEN.
which translates to 142 Yen per $...

Go to the store again today as I suggested above, you'll see the price has changed to the current days exchange rate, rounded to 100 JPY.
No one is going in and manually setting a price in a hundred different currencies.

Correct. All my store prices are set in AUD for a stupid reason to do with Shopify (I'd prefer USD, as I buy all my stock in USD), and any other displayed currency is Shopify doing the conversion automatically. I have no idea where it gets the conversion data from.
Use the coupon code orderofmagnitude for 10% off.

Yes, that is what I suspected. Shopify is converting to Yen when I could be purchasing it in Dollars since I have funds in both currencies.
But on another note....
Good grief!!!
I think me and this 121GW are destined to be unhappy together.
I just came here feeling chuffed that the exchange rate got better and the $214 has dropped back to about $205 and that puts it 200 yen below the purchase threshold. of 30,000 + tax.
And then now I see that there is a 10% discount on offer that I wasn't made aware of until after I put my order in!!!
My paypal order went through and it was immediately processed... not even a pending on order being accepted by the seller so I'm unable to rescind it within 10 minutes of making it.
Is there a way to apply the code to my order?
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers.

No, but I just refunded 10% manually.
