Every rate change means relabelling
If the LBP price is printed on the label, each new rate makes the whole shelf wrong.
Dollar and lira pricing
Prices in dollars and lira, always at today’s rate
Your customers pay in dollars, in lira or in both. Shelvant shows every price in USD and LBP, calculated from your exchange rate, so nobody has to do arithmetic at the shelf.

Why dual pricing is hard to keep right
Arithmetic at the shelf
Shoppers multiply dollar prices in their heads, often get it wrong, and the difference comes up at the till.
Rounding confusion
Different rounding on labels, receipts and at the till breeds mistrust.
How Shelvant handles it
- One exchange rate in your dashboard drives every LBP price
- LBP amounts rounded to the nearest 1,000
- Products sold at a fixed LBP price keep that price
- Phones always show the current figures, even after a rate change this morning
What your customer sees
- The product name in Arabic, English or French
- The price in US dollars, large and clear
- The price in Lebanese pounds at your rate
- When prices were last updated
Dual-currency pricing
The rate changes once. Every lira price follows.
Since 2023, shops in Lebanon may price in dollars and show the lira equivalent at the day’s rate. Shelvant does the arithmetic for every product, so the price your customer sees matches the till.
| Product | USD | LBP |
|---|---|---|
| Nescafé Classic 200g | $7.90 | 707,000 |
| Taanayel Labneh 500g | $3.25 | 291,000 |
| Sunflower oil 1.8L | $4.50 | 403,000 |
| Baby wipes, 72 pcs | $2.20 | 197,000 |

Common questions
Can shops in Lebanon price in dollars?
Since early 2023, a Ministry of Economy decision has allowed supermarkets to price goods in dollars, with the lira equivalent shown at the day’s rate. Check the current rules for your type of business; Shelvant simply shows both amounts clearly.
Who sets the exchange rate?
You do. Enter your rate in the dashboard whenever it changes and every LBP price updates immediately.
Can some products be priced only in lira?
Yes. Give a product a fixed LBP price and it keeps that price whatever the rate.
