Multicurrency capability#1038

Allow users to see and pay in their preferred currency.

Either the plugin should be compatible with the most popular multicurrency plugins like Aelia Currency Switcher, or Amelia could have it’s own currency switcher to allow users to select their preferred currency.

On international sites this is a must feature. Currently there is no way to set this up.

Making it compatible with multicurrency plugin would allow us to place the currency swither widget anywhere on the site, Amelia would pick up on the selected currency, and would show the prices in the selected currency.
This way if the shop is selling other products as well, customers can set the currency globally for all products / services on the site.

I have already contacted Amelia support regarding this, but we have to first collect enough votes on this one apperantly.

The plugin author of the Aelia Currency Swither has sent me some information that will be helpful for the development team, if we end up implementing this at some point. Would be really really awsome.

quote from the above pdf - by Diego - Aelia Currency Swither Support

“All of this is completely independent from the actual implementation of the Currency Switcher, or any other multi-currency plugins, for that instance. It would be a matter of switching the booking plugin’s logic from treating prices as absolute values, to handling them as values that carry around a unit (i.e. moving from handling prices as “100” to “100 EUR”, “100 USD”, etc). The underlying multi-currency layer would be irrelevant, from that perspective, as all it would do would be providing a list of available currencies and a function to perform a conversion using exchange rates. The Currency Switcher already does both (see 3rd Party plugin integration - Guidelines).

In conclusion, instead of writing dozens of integrations with other plugins, facing the risk of any of them breaking all of a sudden due to changes in plugins we don’t control, we work with their respective authors, so that they can make their solutions “multi-currency aware”, out of the box. This takes less time to implement and a lot less maintenance. If done properly, it’s a once off, “write and forget” type of integration.”

I’s love this feature too.

I’m using the WooCommerce multi-currency option on my site so a banner at the top of site indicates that currency will be shown as local when the customer arrives.

However, Amelia doesn’t follow this, the customer’s native currency only appears in the WooCommerce checkout at the end of the booking process.

Perhaps Amelia could link to the WooCommerce data?

Hi All! if you see this I need your help! how did you manage to workaround this issue?
I really need the multicurrency, did you use another plugin or somethin? PLEASE HELP

Same here. Time for Amelia to really speed up on this. Many people provide service online worldwide. Multi currency should be a must on Amelia plugin.
