Hi there

We have a site in english. As of now every product is set with a price en DKK.We need the best way to be able to switch currency to between DKK and EUR.

The catch is that we want clean nice prices, so we cant simply multiply with 7,44. What we want (best case) is a price field for DKK and a field for EUR in eCom and then be able to switch between the two. How is this (or similar) done best?

Regards,
Rune

Hi Rune.

In the frontend you can change currency by adding &currency={currencycode}.

You have 2 ways of handling currencies - you can enter your own using the price matrix: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=7155#30152 Simply add a price for each currency.

You can also use automatic calculation. On the currency, you can set a rounding method: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=7214 Using one of those you can have Dynamicweb do the calculation and then apply a rounding scheme. So DKK 99 in EUR (at rate 744) = €13.31, you can have it rounded to i.e. nearest quarter = €13.25

So both options are possible.

Hi again

Hmm can't quite seem to get the "&currency=EUR" to work. I have tried with both ways of defining the price in euros.

I have read through: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Dynamicweb-On-line-Manual/Management-Center/eCommerce/Internationalization/Currency.aspx but I don't see any info about it there.

Hi Rune,

Perhaps the new documentation on languages and currencies may shed some light on things?

Have you set the default currency in the website Ecommerce settings?

Yes, thank you Carsten.

The parameter is "CurrencyCode=EUR" and not "currency=EUR"
