Transition to the Euro in Bulgaria: Important information for euShipments.com clients

Starting from January 1, 2026, Bulgaria will officially adopt the euro (EUR) as its national currency. This will lead to important changes for all online merchants operating on the Bulgarian market. One of the most significant aspects of this transition is the processing of orders with Cash-on-Delivery (COD), which requires timely technical and operational preparation. To support a smooth and secure transition, we have prepared clear instructions for all our clients who sell in Bulgaria. In the following lines, you will find guidance on how to prepare your systems and what to expect in terms of logistics and payments.

Due to the upcoming transition, COD values must be declared in euro starting exactly at 00:00 on January 1, 2026. This requirement applies to all shipments created through the euShipments.com system. All of them must have a COD amount declared solely and exclusively in euro (EUR).

EURO1

To ensure a smooth and seamless transition to the euro, every online merchant who is a client of euShipments.com must check whether their online store/platform or ERP system supports automatic currency conversion. Based on the result of this check, the following actions should be taken:

  • If your system supports automatic conversion from BGN to EUR

Configure the necessary settings in advance. Make sure that all Cash-on-Delivery (COD) values are automatically converted to euro starting from 00:00 on January 1, 2026, but not earlier.

  • If your system does not support automatic conversion and requires manual configuration

Update your system settings so that COD amounts can be submitted in EUR. Set the exact activation time for switching to the new currency. Ensure that submitting values in euro starts exactly at 00:00 on January 1, 2026 – neither earlier nor later.

All Cash-on-Delivery (COD) amounts declared in Bulgarian lev (BGN) for shipments created before 23:59 on December 31, 2025, will be paid out in euro (EUR) in 2026, in accordance with the official rules and procedures for the adoption and conversion to the euro. Correspondingly, COD amounts for shipments created after 00:00 on January 1, 2026, and declared in euro (EUR), will also be paid out in euro.

EURO3

To ensure a smooth and technically accurate transition to the euro, we are introducing the following temporary operational measures covering the synchronization of incoming online orders with our system during the period December 30, 2025 – January 1, 2026.

  • Order synchronization

The deadline for uploading orders into our system is 14:00 on December 30, 2025. All orders submitted by this time will be generated in Bulgarian lev (BGN) until December 31, 2025. After this time, the ability to upload orders will be temporarily suspended – from 14:00 on December 30, 2025 until January 1, 2026.
This temporary restriction is necessary to ensure a correct transition to the new currency in our systems and processing workflows.

On January 1, 2026, access for generating orders will be restored. However, you will need to confirm that the orders you create are already in euro (EUR). This is important to ensure proper processing and accurate reporting in the new currency environment.

  • Regarding reverse integrations with eCommerce platforms

After December 31, 2025, orders will not be automatically synchronized until we receive explicit confirmation from you that the currency in your account has been switched to euro (EUR), and that all orders originally received in Bulgarian lev (BGN) have been corrected and resubmitted in euro (EUR).
This step ensures that your platform generates correct values and prevents discrepancies between reporting, payments, and logistics operations.

The currency transition will not affect the quality or continuity of euShipments.com services. Our team is available to support you throughout the entire process. If you need assistance with configuring your system or preparing for the currency transition, please contact your Account or Key Accounts Manager.
