[SOLVED] Manually changing the exchange rate

4 years 2 months ago - 4 years 2 months ago #316609 by sorozco
Hello.

We use american dollars as the main currency, and mexican pesos as the secondary. The exchange rate when users select pesos is very low. We would like to set our own exchange rate. Is that possible?

The exchange rate should be updated regularly from European Central Bank so should be completely accurate. There's no functionality to manually override currencies. I suppose you could try forcing it in the database, but your changes will likely be lost when it updates the exchange rates. Recommend confirming the exchange rate within CBSubs > Currencies.

But you can configure a multiplying factor in the CBSubs settings, first tab in the multicurrency, under "Markup of prices when not in currency of plan (in %)". That way, your conversion rate will always take in account your multi-currency extra-costs ;-)

Great Beat! That will work.

If I set a 5 in that field, it means there will be an increase of 5%? Or, should I set as 1.05% to get the 100% of the original price plus a 5%? It sounds to me that the first option is the way it works, but I want to be sure.

Yes, that's how it works. But best is to test it yourself to make sure it does the result you wish.
