I have a client who needs to have her product sell in both Australian and HK dollars and I was wondering, what kind of smart solutions have you come up with when you had to deal with multi currency online shop needs of a client?
hopefully someone has other type of magic then WIX code
what do you think the other solution is? Adding 2 WIX online shop packages on 2 different domain names for each of the currencies? It sounds such an overkill and weird to manage.
Shopify has a really simple solution. Just chose you base currency and ANY other currency is converted to the buyer in real time currency exchange rates.
“…Your customers can pay for their orders and receive refunds in their local (also referred to as their presentment) currency. Your prices are converted based on the foreign exchange rate and your rounding rules. You can’t set prices in specific currencies, but you can specify different rounding rules for each currency.”
Thats good enough. If it is complicated to add into WIX, would be enough if we can add a couple more currencies with set prices.
Anything other then have to duplicate a whole shop/site just to have another currency available.
The video you see above was done by me and it was an old version (kind of a prototype and I’m not proud of how I presented the video) but I assure you Multi Currency is possible with Wix Code.
Instead of using a currency converter API I take the exchange rates from a ‘ForexRates’ database which allows you to control the rates.
I think its pretty straight-forward using Repeaters, Dynamic Pages, Databases & Mathematical formulas. In the end you just make a procedure to let the client checkout, until now I have successfully tested Stripe & PayPal with the multi currency store.
