Hello

As the 2.3.6 board is a few years old, I am wondering if the currencies set up already in the ACP are up to date at all like this:



I've taken a look online but just cannot fathom out what is the correct currency to go into each section.

Does anybody know?

No. You have to manually update them (as far as I am aware). That's just what is setup during installation, it does not read from the XE site.

You should have GBP set to 1 though as its trying to convert £ to £.

It's probably best to stick to just one and disable the others, at least that way you will know what's going on. , although I don't really understand what you are asking

At the time of posting, £1 UK is:

$1.63 US Dollar's
$1.60 CA Canadian Dollar's
€1.15 Euro's

Right, so if I put 1.00000000 for GBP that will be alright will it? Good idea about disabling the others.  

I just wanted to have the right currency enabled so if I do set up any subscriptions they go through at the right rate.

Disable the other ones if possible (I'd have to check) although I seem to recall (I've never really used it) you can setup each payment method to use just one currency, ie Paypal so they can only pay via GBP, Paypal handles the conversion, same as when you buy something in a $ price you are shown the £ price at the checkout.

Just set GBP to 1.0

I'll 'test' it if you want.

Been a few years since I had this all set up and forget how I had it all set. I think once I've done the packages then I should have it to show by what payment value it should have, I think.

Sure, how do we test it?

[AndyF]

As I'm registered I'll just 'purchase' and then you can refund it if it works OK.

Sounds good, thanks. I haven't got around to adding any packages yet, will give you a shout.
