Automatic Currency Adjustment

[jhdesign]

Wondering if anyone know's a fix for this:

 

I'd like the currency to be switched automatically throughout the site based on Users Country.

 

IE if Canada set to CAD$ if not (rest of world) show USD$.

 

Any help is apprciated.

you need to resolve the session's ip to the country and then switch to the appropriate currency. There is a contribution that records ip for an order. You could perhaps leverage some code for the ip details and then setup the application_top.php to switch the currency of the store.

 

I assume you already tried the configuration settings for the currency/language switching.

I was thinking about checking the COUNTRY in the user profile and adjust accordingly, but not sure how to go about that, my php/mysql experience is not very strong.

That would only work for registered customers ! As mark describes would be the way to achieve it for all.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I need some code help though:

 

I'd like to FORCE currency to switch when on category id #2

(instead of location as discussed above)

 

Any help is appreciated.

Ran some tests and got it to work with this code:

 

if ($cPath==23)

{

$currency="CAD";

}

else

{

$currency="USD";

}
