allow customer to choose currency

[mdgm]

How can I allow the customer to choose the currency for their cart? I’d like customers to have the option to pay in my local currency but still have the default payment in USD.

You will have to choose one currency as the payment currency (this is the currency your customers will make payment). There is an option to show a secondary currency (for conversion purpose) to your customers so they know how much it will cost in that currency. To enable this feature check the “Secondary Currency Settings” section of eStore settings.

That’s not what I want. I want the customer to be able to choose the currency they pay in. Most of my customers will want to pay in USD, but I want customers from my country to be able to pay in my local currency (avoids currency conversion costs).

I too have this requirement for the selection of a different currency. It looks like this will require some custom programming to get it integrated based on my review of the code.

Yes, you are right. We don’t have an option that can just allow your customer to choose the currency that they want to use (there are technical difficulties from the payment gateway side in implementing it).
