Allow donors to give in their local currency

We regularly hear from potential donors who express frustration that they can only be charged in USD. A detection of local currency by IP address and a dropdown/any ability to change the currency would be fantastic — and 135+ currencies are already supported in Stripe: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies/conversions #stripe

In addition to accepting local currency, it would be great to accept non-USA based addresses. This is actually pretty crucial to our business plan.

We agree! And to add to this, we actually have two separate entities set up - one in the US and one in the UK. In an ideal world, someone would choose (or be detected by IP) to donate in £ and have those donations specifically filter to a separate stripe account.
This is important for tax purposes. Though UK works differently than US, essentially, any donation that can be submitted must have been made to a UK registered charity so any donations made - even if made in a different currency - must also be made to that specific account for them to do so.
