Currencies issue, Question

[Mo9a7i]

Hello everyone,

 

I'll explain my situation and would like to know if someone has an easy way to do what I need.

 

I have setup my WHMCS with two currencies, USD and Saudi Riyal

USD as my base currency,

 

I have then setup my products providing the whole long list of prices for each currency (don't know why I set up the conversion rate if i have to set the prices manually everytime)

 

I have two ways of payments, Bank Transfer & 2check out(visa,master and paypal)

 

 

Here comes my issue:

I'm using USD for only one reason.

it's because 2checkout doesn't support the Saudi Riyal as a currency of payment

 

my old system before WHMCS , I used to use USD only (for that reason) as it doesn't support multiple currencies.

 

 

 

Questions:

1- do I have to setup the prices for both currencies each time i add a new product (what is the conversion rate used for?)

2- Is there a way that i could use SAR for my base currency, and only when it comes to 2checkout, I send the amount via the API in USD ?

 

I've heard that there's an option for 2checkout where you provide the currency you want(ex. USD) and the conversion rate between the amount you are sending to them and the amount you want to show as USD, so I don't even have to setup the USD currency in my WHMCS.

 

 

Thank you for your time

1. WHMCS can automatically set the prices for your products in SAR based on the conversion rate. Saving you the bother.

2. Yes, choose "USD" in the Convert to for Processing field in Setup > Payment Gateways.
