Hi Siv,

Wouldn't a currency selector solve for this? The settings on the website are merely the default, and you can change any currency throught the query string by doing, for example:

• www.yoursite.com?CurrencyCode=USD

This will set your currency to US Dollars, regardless of the default. This assumes you have that currency set in DW.

We don't want the users to be able to choose currency. The currency is determined by delivery country.

There is not a exchange rate relationship for a price (as in a product which costs 100 NOK in Norway may cost less inn Thailand)

Hi Siv,

The best I can find right now is this https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/ecommerce-standard-features/ecommerce-standard-features/set-currency It's mentioned how you can set currencies and delivery countries, independently from the language, but it was not mentioned how it's solved. 

As for not having an exchange rate relationship, maybe I am misunderstanding, but if you don't set the relationship in DW, I don't see how it will ever know how to convert 100 NOK into INN. You can have all of the prices associated with products, but you still have to have all currencies configured in DW (even if the rate is wrong and the prices are set per currency on each product).

Sorry I can't help you more than this. Maybe someone else on the Forum can.

In the end, a currency switcher is what you need, no? But you can dress it up as a delivery country selector that sets the currency under the hood.

We have one implementet at the current customer's site, but along with this, there are a lot of errors regarding orders and currency/delivery country/prices.

Hi Siv,

If the errors you are experiencing are similar to what we've seen in the past, it's related to changing the currency after there are products in the cart AND/OR adding a product to the cart in a currency, when there's already others with different currencies. There are multiple threads related to that. Check them here https://doc.dynamicweb.com/search?q=Attempt+to+aritmatic+with+two+prices+of+different+currency

In one of those threads it's mentioned that upgrading to the latest 9.7 would fix some of the issues. I did not read all of them in detail to determine if the missing scenario would be related to anything you have as well, so I'd say give it a try and see if it works.

Hi Nuno and Siv-Renate,

I would like to mention, that we tried to address multiple errors related to switching currency, language or country on the cart for 9.8, so once that branch is stable it might be relevant to upgrade to 9.8.x and see if the experienced problems persists.

Hi Martin,

That is excellent news. Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Martin

Thanks for the info, I'm also looking forward to see if it has solved some of the challenges I have had

I Think for Siv refers to is how the language/currency selector works in Rapido (and how a currency can be enforced given the delivery country)

The rest of you is refering to the aritmatic related issue that we have seen in some scenarios.
