ExRates

Available as a plugin to ExFusion for Ex-Commerce.

ExRates obtains a list of exchange rates and simultaneously inserts them into Advanced Exchequer and Ex-Commerce: Ocean. Doing this ensures that exchange rates used for an order match in both systems, which is very important to minimize currency conversion differences. It is particularly important to have this for multi-currency sites.

By default if a transaction goes into Advanced Exchequer at one rate, if the daily rate changes in Advanced Exchequer and you edit the transaction, Advanced Exchequer will recalculate the change at the current rate, not the exchange rate the order came in at. There is a switch on the order that allows you to ‘Fix’ the rate, to recalculate it.

ExFusion has a switch to allow the Exchange rate to be ‘Fixed’ to the time of the order, therefore, stopping the recalculation.

ExRates can be adapted to provide this exchange rate data to wherever you may need it, come and talk to us if this interests you.
