Adding/Editing a Currency
The fields for adding or editing a currency are the same. Below is an explanation of each of these:
- Currency Code – This should be the standard 3 letter ISO 4217 code used by gateways
- Prefix – The text/symbol to display before the amount
- Suffix – The text/symbol to display after the amount
- Format – Allows you to choose between the different format styles for currencies
- Base Conv. Rate – The rate amounts in this currency should be divided by to get to the base currency, eg. USD to GBP currently 1.5
The first currency is the default one. If you want to define a default currency you must to edit the currency code, and set it to the new default currency.
Auto Updating Rates
WHMCS has the built in capability to retrieve and update the base conversion rate values daily for the following currencies:
USD, EUR, JPY, BGN, CZK, DKK, EEK, GBP, HUF, LTL, LVL, PLN, RON, SEK, CHF, NOK, HRK, RUB, TRY, AUD, BRL, CAD, CNY, HKD, IDR, INR, KRW, MXN, MYR, NZD, PHP, SGD, THB & ZAR
For a full list of international currency codes: [1]
You can manually request the rates to be synced using the Update Exchange Rates button on the currencies page or you can configure it to be automated with the daily cron in Config > Automation Settings.
Auto Updating Prices
WHMCS also provides the ability to have the prices in currencies other than the base rate automatically updated based on the rates set. Again you can invoke that manually from the currencies page with the “Update Product Prices” button or you can have it run after the daily rates update in Config > Automation Settings.
Specifying Currency in a link
You can link to the order form with a specific currency by simulating what the form shown for currency selection does - eg. cart.php?currency=1 cart.php?currency=2
