Adding a currency converter

To enable Multi-currency go to the E-commerce tab, scroll down to the plugins section and find the Multi-currency plugin. Press the + sign and enable the plugin.

There is one main currency per shopping cart. Common currency codes include: USD, AUD, NZD, GBP, EUR. Please ensure any currency code you use is compatible with any payment gateway. The following currencies may use a $ symbol instead of a D, as this will be automatically converted before credit card processing. eg US$, NZ$, AU$

Add fixed currency conversions, prices will be offered to customers at your fixed exchange rates. If you provide this option, you need to have compatible payment options for these currencies. Paypal will support about 15 currencies, many other payment gateways only support 1 or 2 currencies.

For example, assuming your base currency was say NZD, then enter USD   0.60

That rate will be subject to change, do a search on google for "1 NZD IN USD" and copy the result. Increase the amount by about 2% - 5% to account for currency fluctuations and FX margin costs.

Live exchange rates are only available on some currencies, you should review these from time to time to ensure you are happy with them, or set your own default. 

If we have a live price, we will override your price daily, where you have opted in for live pricing. Our live prices are based on "mid rates". Mid rates are the middle fx rate, between a buy/sell rate. You will find that Paypal and other payment options will use different rates that us.
