When Squarespace will accept brazilian currency (Brazilian reais R$)?

Hello Squarespace, 

I would like to register my request for more attention to the Brazilian public. We are a huge market, the site is already all in Portuguese, but they still don't accept our currency as payment. 

We are suffering a crisis of devaluation of our currency. Today (July 27, 2021) one euro is equivalent to R$6.12, so the cheapest plan of the platform (11 euros) costs us R$67.32 per month or R$807.84 per year. What does this value mean? The minimum wage in Brazil is R$1,100, so the cheapest plan costs 73% of the minimum wage. 

Think in terms of the country where you live, imagine 73% of a minimum wage to have access to the platform. I am not devaluing your service, I love SquareSpace! But proportionally it is an absurdity for us. 

For other players in the market: WordPress has the cheapest plan of R$12 a month (R$144 a year) and WIX R$20 a month and the annual plan R$13.

Brazil is in a political, economic and health crisis. If it is possible, take a look at our situation, it is very complicated to keep the site on SquareSpace. I imagine that I am not the only one in this situation. 

Thanks for your attention.

Hi, 

i Completely  agree, and I think this is a very valid issue! Has anything been resolved? I will soon move to Brazil, and I think this is a very important point.
