๐ŸŽฏ How to Format Numbers & Currencies in Bubble (Bubble.io Tutorial)

Formatting numbers and currencies is one of those small yet powerful details that can significantly enhance the user experience of your app. Whether you're building a finance dashboard, e-commerce store, or expense tracker in Bubble.io, this guide will help you display values in a way that's clean, readable, and user-friendly.

In this video tutorial, Iโ€™ll show you how to properly format numbers and currencies in Bubble using built-in features and custom logic.

๐Ÿ”ง What Youโ€™ll Learn in This Bubble Tutorial

By the end of this tutorial, you'll be able to:

  • โœ… Format numbers with commas, decimal places, and rounding
  • ๐Ÿ’ฐ Display currencies dynamically (e.g. USD, EUR, NGN, GBP)
  • ๐ŸŒ Improve UX with localized number formatting
  • ๐Ÿ›’ Apply formatting logic for pricing, totals, and summaries

๐Ÿ“Œ Why Formatting Matters

Unformatted numbers can confuse users and reduce trust. Compare these two:

  • 15999 vs. $15,999.00

Clear formatting makes your app more professional, accessible, and easy to navigate, especially for non-technical users.


๐Ÿง  Key Bubble Concepts Covered

In this tutorial, I used the following Bubble features:

  • :formatted as modifier on dynamic expressions
  • Rounded to and truncated to options for decimals
  • Custom states and conditions to switch currencies
  • Bubble's built-in support for dynamic text formatting

No plugins required โ€” all native to Bubble!


๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿ’ป Example Use Cases

  • ๐Ÿ’ธ E-commerce App โ€” Display product prices, tax, and totals
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Finance App โ€” Format transaction amounts, balances, and summaries
  • ๐ŸŒ Multi-currency SaaS โ€” Let users switch between currencies

๐Ÿš€ Try It Yourself

Once youโ€™ve watched the video, try implementing number and currency formatting in your current Bubble project. Youโ€™ll be surprised how much more polished it feels.
