Hi guys,

i can't understand why i need to put currency difference between USD and CAD if the system is updating all data automatically from Yahoo finance? I switched on auto update currency and i put 1.26 between USD and CAD, but it looks that auto update doesn't work because my rate 1.26 is already active 3 day and never changed. Maybe i'm doing something wrong.

Thanks.

This Yahoo Service is no longer active, here are some alternative Solutions for this.
Good Luck ;)

Just switch to Exchange Rate Providers and select a desired provider, except Fixer, which turned paid. Should work for any currency.

In Opencart 4.0.1, we see that it is using https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxr ... -daily.xml which supports only hand full of currencies.

Another thing, that you need to check is whether your cron job for currency is running or not. You can see the cron job at Admin >> Extensions >> Cron Jobs

I'm using OC 3.x, not OC4.. I don't have Cronjob in OC dashboard, but I can add it in cPanel Cronjob if you know what should i write in the command.
But first, I think I should work on the Refresh button, because now even if I try to manually update the currencies, it doesn't update.

Any help please ?
