Emhope Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hello, We are in the process of updating all of our domain prices. Is there a way to compensate for the exchange rate automatically? We currently purchase all of our domains in USD but sell them in GBP. If I set my base rate as USD, could I setup automation to automatically update my GBP prices on a daily prices and still have GBP as my default currency for customers? This way we can always ensure the profit on a domain is the same even if the exchange rate changes. I’m not sure if this is the best approach to this. I would like to make sure we are ready if the exchange rate drastically changes in the future, without manually going through each domain to change the price. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 basically, yes. https://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?115999-Domain-resellers-currency-conversion&p=468919#post468919 off the top of my head, i'm not sure which currency would be shown as default - but certainly existing customers (once logged in) would only see prices in their default currency (which they cannot change). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emhope Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi Brian, Thank you for this information. It makes sense to me to set the base in USD and allow the prices to follow the exchange rate. At least this way I can’t be caught short if the exchange rate takes another big dip. Hopefully there is a way to set my default currency back to £, 99% of our customers are from the UK and I don’t want to confuse them and start asking them to swap between currencies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
