Multi currency what if.....

I should point out that this is a BETA site and the optional currency redirects are not up yet. But will be soon.

As you are probably taking payment by cards, will their not be problems with the stated conversion rate not matching the actual amount taken by the card company who may use a slightly different exchange rate, Or is your PSP set up to accept three currencies

Probably small differences but some customers give so much pain with such high expectations.

If the devil was a customer he would be one of the easy ones, compared to some of mine

That's ok then

They will be charged a specific amount in a specific currency across 3 sites. Each of those sites will pass over the amount and the currency type to the gateway which is set up to accept the 3 currencies. What they see is what they pay.

It's finally up on the correct domain at http://www.aloeride.eu . The currency selector now takes you to 2 subdomains. Would have been up a lot sooner if Netbanx hadn't been so rubbish at their own job. But that's another story... On the plus side, custom payment pages are a bonus but not sure if it was worth the grief.

Hi Richard
something's not right.
I followed your link, chose a product, changed currency to Euro, viewed the Cart.
Currency shown was Euro.
Continued.
This took me back to a page showing Sterling prices.
Clicked on View Cart and it shows as empty and then bounces me back.

I did this twice - same each time.

Is this a bug, or do you have to choose the currency each time you want to put an item in the cart?

I saw similar issues. The cart showed no products sometimes also.

They share a cgi-bin (with different script ID's) which I think is upsetting it on the return, so, I've set up individual cgi-bins in the subdomains so the paths are different. Hopefully this should sort it (fingers crossed)

Eventually, if you try every conceivable combination of network settings its possible to find one that works! Fixed now, Phew. Thanks for letting me know.
