Go to your admin->localization->valuta and create new valuta

You probably already have one of your existing valuta's set as default with the exchange rate of 1.000000 so the only thing to do after you have added other valuta is to press the update exchange rates button.

Once a day or when you feel for it you press that exchange rate update button which willl update your valuta values related to your default one.

You can also create a cron job, if your hosting company allows, to run the following page each day or week to automatically update this as well:

 

http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/admin/curr...2&action=update

 

You will have to use a relative path to run this, which your hosting provider can give to you and guide you on if you tell them you are trying to run this page in your website:

 

/admin/currencies.php?page=1&cID=2&action=update

 

If you run into any issues this may be due to permissions you have on the folder, which you should change this page CHMOD to 755. That should resolve it if I recall correctly.

In Admin panel you have Localization.In that there is an option for currencies.

 

Use that option..

Quick point and question.....When we add additional currencies but use let's say US Dollars as the default, when a customer selects Japanese Yen for instance...

Will osCommerce 2.2 automatically convert the Japanese Yen (or any other currency selected by customers) into US Dollars (the default currency) and process the order in US Dollars?

 

Or is there additional coding that will need to be done in order to process the currency conversion in order for Authorize.net to accept and process the order?

 

Our site is set up to process payments using Authorize.net's payment gateway and Pay Pal. Authorize.net only accepts/processes orders in US dollars.

The order is processed in the valuta which the customer has choosen and as far as I know/experienced will not be converted back to your default valuta unless you set the option admin->configuration->switch to default language currency to true and only have one language in your shop for which the default currency is USD in your case.

That is a bit of a tricky option however as your shop will switch back to USD after each click a customer does which can be very annoying.
