Option for more than 1 currency

[MNybom]

Hello,

I will be offering a global coaching service (via Skype).

Therefore I was wondering about currency options. Based on the tutorial videos, I have to choose a currency. But is it possible for the buyer to change the currency to meet their country and then have the price automatically change (based on the exchange rate that I choose)?

Or do I have to stick to one single currency?

Thank you for the help! Monika

Hi Monika, The mult-currenty addon for eStore can do that:

Great! Thank you, I have sent a request to purchase the addon. Monika

I see in the documentation the multi-currency add on will change the display in the shopping cart, will it change the payment currency in PayPal and Authorize.net or other payment gateways.

PayPal would be easy, it is already set up for multi currency payments, but other Gateways are not so international.

I have a similar issue to the person who started this thread. I sell internationally and I want my customers to feel comfortable. I was considering setting up subdomains and installing a different version of wp-eStore in each subdomain with a localized set up, and using localized content tags to change the URL text link for add to cart based on the country the customer is coming from, then having different available gateways by country. This addon would be so much simpler, but I think I would need to disable Authorize.net for international orders.

Because my ordering process is rather complex and has price changes based on relationships between variations, plus has multiple customer input items so I use a custom Javascript order entry form and the URL text link with add to cart to add products to the cart and send the customer to the checkout. I also use the Serial PIN issuing aspect of wp-eStore so having all in one cart would be easier.

Any advice.

It will change the currency for payment gateways that support multi-currency. I am pretty sure authorize.net only accepts USD so nothing we can do for that gateway unfortunately.

Is there a demo site, I can see this in action? It looks like what I need, but I want to make sure. I use Authorize.net and PayPal. (Actually Authorize.net now supports CDN funds, but I am not sure I can switch back and forth between CDN and USD.) I would like to see how it displays PayPal in one currency and Authorize.net in another.

I don’t have a demo for this but please send me a contact by filling our contact form and I will set something up.

I have purchased the Multi Currency option, and it seems to work, but it is not doing any conversion. I presume there is a location to set the currency rate exchange. Where is that.

[admin]

It takes the exchange rate from an API so you don’t have to do anything for that. You just have to specify the currencies you want to allow in the shortcode. What shortcode have you used for the multi-currency widget? Can you post a link to the page where you have it?

[GWslade]

You can see the problem on this page. This is a site in the process of being set up.

I will need to take a look inside your site for this one. I have sent you an email for it.
