Using Multiple Currencies

This feature was released in Clientexec 6.7.0

Clientexec now allows you to sell your products using multiple currencies. Currently you need to set the different prices for each currency manually.

Select Your Currencies


To select the currencies you will be using on your Clientexec, go to Settings > Billing > Currencies



If there are currently currencies on the list that you are not intending to use, click the check box next to it and select delete at the bottom.
If there are currencies missing from the list that you intend to use then click the 'Add Currency' button. Then in the dropdown find the 3 digit name for the currency you wish to use, give it a name and for the rate you can just add 1 for now (the explanation on how to change the rates will be further below.).



Next, click the check box next to the currency that you want to make default, then at the bottom select the 'Set Default' button.

Currency Rate Converter


Note: Currently the automatic currency rates are just used for Affiliate payout and Account Credit conversion. For now you will need to manually set the price on each product for each different currency.

To set up the Automated Currency Rate Converter, go to Settings > Plugins > Automation Services

Please make sure you have already set up your Cron Jobs. For help with that see here.

In the dropdown select Automatic Currency Rate Converter, select Enabled to Yes and then at the bottom click Update Settings.

Then return to the Dashboard and under Automation Status click on the Execute icon in the Automatic Currency Rate Converter row.



Now on your Currencies Settings page (Settings > Billing > Currencies) you should see the updated rates, with your Default Currency rate being 1.

Exchange Rates

The Automatic Currency Rate Convertor can update the base conversion rates for the following:

USD, EUR, JPY, BGN, CZK, DKK, GBP, HUF, PLN, RON, SEK, CHF, ISK, NOK, HRK, TRY, AUD, BRL, CAD, CNY, HKD, IDR, ILS, INR, KRW, MXN, MYR, NZD, PHP, SGD, THB, and ZAR

For currencies not listed, you will need to edit that currency and add the rate manually. You can get the rate using the Universal Currency Converter . (In the UCC, Enter 1 as the price and the select your Default Currency in the 'From' dropdown and the Currency you want the rate from in the 'To' Dropdown.)


(the above example uses USD as Default so the conversion rate for CAD would be 1.35)

You can link to the order signup form with a specific currency by adding the required currency to the URL. For example: yourclientexec.url/order.php?step=1&productGroup=1&currency=USD

New clients will also be able to select their currency from a dropdown in the footer.



Late Fees


If you do not define the late fees per product but list the late fees using the Late Fee Automation Service you will need to specify the late fee for each currency (and converted to that currency.).



Other Information


When changing a clients currency to a different one, it will also convert the credit balance, affiliate balance and affiliate commissions to the new currency.

Invoices are now locked to the currency when they were created, so changing a clients currency will not update the invoice's currency.
