Multiple Currencies

If you wish to use more than one currency install a currency updater module.

  • Click Install Module shown top right of screen - the number shown next to it indicates the number of modules available.
  • Click a module to use from the list.

  • Click Edit
  • Enter a Sort Order value. Do not leave 0 as the Sort Order on modules as it can cause problems. You can give it any number, in this case enter 10 so if you decide to install another module it leaves the option of entering a lesser value for the next if required.
  • Click Save

Come back to this page and click Update Exchange Rate
