Hi Guys,

I have developed a website in opencart and its working well. But now the client has asked for an added option. From the admin side he will be adding price as KSH currency. But in client side it should be displayed as $$. Is this possible and how i can make this happen. Any ideas are welcome. What i have in mind is to manually check whether the currency is KSH. Then if so convert using the KSH value in the admin side and then display price accordingly in $$. But im not sure of where to write this part in the framework. In module as well as products folder?..

P.S : I am using version 1.4.7

Thanks

Roy M J

Set the currencies up in SYSTEM > LOCALISATION > CURRENCY
Set the KSH value to 1.0000
and set the USD value to the rate of currency it should work at

I would also recommend upgrading your store

I have similar situation. I would like to set price in USD and display as default in EUR.
Does oc update exchange rates automatically?
Is there possibility to add some 'secure multiplier' for bank fees and so (like: if displayed in other than home currency, multiply price with 1,05)
