Accepting international payments

Question

I would like to accept payments for international currencies, and also accept payment from foreign credit cards. For example, I want to sell a product who's price is in ILS, and also want to accept local Israeli credit cards.

For the first part, does the merchant handle this, or do I have to do a currency conversion myself?

For the second part, just simply is this possible to do?

Depends on the payment provider you choose. Some will do it for you, some won't.

For the second part, just simply is this possible to do?

Depends on the payment provider you choose. But it should be possible unless Israeli credit cards are not allowed to be used internationally.
