E-commerce Checkout Totals in Words

For high-value orders, showing the total in words alongside digits helps reduce payment disputes and improves confirmation clarity.

Where This Helps

• B2B orders with manual approval
• COD and bank-transfer flows
• Localized checkout experiences in multi-country stores

Checkout Rendering Example

import { toCurrency } from 'to-words';

function checkoutSummary(total, localeCode) {
  return {
    total,
    totalInWords: toCurrency(total, {
      localeCode,
      doNotAddOnly: true,
    }),
  };
}

checkoutSummary('1299.99', 'en-US');
checkoutSummary('1299.99', 'es-MX');

Order Confirmation Email Snippet

const orderTotal = '8450.00';
const localeCode = 'fr-FR';

const amountInWords = toCurrency(orderTotal, {
  localeCode,
  includeZeroFractional: true,
});

// Include amountInWords in email template

Why Teams Add This

• Clearer confirmation for customers and support teams
• Locale-specific currency wording without custom rules per region
• Reusable server-side formatting for checkout, order detail, and invoice pages
