We've released an update to our popular Rubymods Live Currency Rates module.

New features for x-cart versions 4.2x and 4.1x allow you to specify whether the module updates the rates automatically or manually via a rates table accessible from the x-cart admin.
Also new is the feature to specify whether to consider the customer's chosen currency when applying taxes. In response to x-cart users in Australia, you can specify that tax only be applied if the customer selects the store's base currency (in this case AUD). You can further specify to only consider the customers currency before they checkout, always or not at all when calculating taxes.

Complete feature list is:

• Allow customers to choose alternative currency from multiple currencies
• Option to display the alternative currency as the main currency
• Currency exchange rates use XML feeds from the European Central Bank and other sources.
• Optionally add a % markup to all the rates
• Update rates automatically or *manually.
• Rate update triggered by first visitor to store after new daily exchanges rates posted (in automatic mode).
• *Admin view of the exchange rates where you can manually set rates and/or specify the currency symbols/codes.
• Updates are logged to X-Cart log directory.
• Choose which currencies are available for the customer to select.
• *Optionally apply tax only if selected currency matches store base currency.
• Optionally allow customer to pay in currency of their choice.
• Select which currency to use as store's base currency.
• Optionally use Rubymod's GeoIP mod (included) to automatically set the alternative currency and/or the store language to the customer's country based on their IP address. If GeoIP can not match your customer's IP to a country the default country/language is displayed.
• Currencies available: Australian dollar, Brazilian Real, Bulgarian lev, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan renminbi, Croatian kuna, Cyprus pound, Czech koruna, Danish krone, Estonian kroon, Euro, Hong Kong dollar, Hungarian forint, Icelandic krona, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen ,Latvian lats, Lithuanian litas, Malaysian ringgit, Maltese lira, Mexican peso, New Romanian leu, New Turkish lira, New Zealand dollar , Norwegian krone, Philippine peso, Polish zloty, Pound sterling, Russian rouble, Singapore dollar, Slovak koruna, Slovenian tolar , South African rand, South Korean won, Sri Lanka rupee, Swedish krona, Swiss franc, Thai baht, Taiwan new dollar, Venezuelan Bolivar and US dollar.

well i am having the following dilema and maybe this product can solve it or maybe it cant.

i have a store in south africa and i want to accept credit cards but only via paypal the only problem is that paypal does not have a merchant account for south african rands, so maybe i could use the merchant account that i already have here in portugal to accept payments from south africa but just need to convert the ZAR currency into euros during the payment stage.

is that possible with this mod?

With the module there are several options, and one is that you can have the store's base currency set to one currency and display another currency for you products, and either allow the customer to pay in the alternate currency or instead charging them in the store base currency.

Will the Live currency rates mod support the Sagepay payment gateway? as it's recently been switched from Protx.

As my client uses Sagepay and would like customers to have the option to pay in either Pound Sterling or Euro's.

Thanks

I would like to be able to have US Dollars and Euros. Ideally, I want North American customers to pay in US Dollars, and the rest of the world to pay in Euros. But I'd want the US Dollars to go to a specific payment gateway, and Euros to go to Paypal Pro.

Is this possible?

Thanks!!
