Multiple Currencies

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

  • Click the Install Now link which will take you to admin Adminnavbarmod.png Modules → Update Currency
  • 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 Install Module
  • 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

The default currency value remains at 1.00000000 with all other currencies adjusted according to the exchange rate.

If you have more than one language installed:

  • From admin go to Configuration → My Store → Switch To Default Language Currency
  • Set to true - the currency will change to match the language selected by the customer.



Single Currency

If you wish to use only one currency, remove unwanted currencies.

Select a currency, click Delete

The Currencies module in Navbar - Modules → Navbar is installed by default.
