Hello everyone,

I need a little help with multi currency for a e-commerce store. I want users to choose from either GBP or USD. I have a few books on on e-commerce and php but I have not found a solution - that is why I am here!

If you could point me in the right direction I would be very happy!

Thanks,

Ben.

Are you using a third party payment solution like paypal? Most of those have documentation on how to accept multiple currencies using their APIs.

Hey,

Thanks for posting! I will be using paypal, I will check that out. If I use an API will that be able to change currency on my site?

Thanks,

Ben.

Yes you just have to pass it a currency code (USD or GBP) before the form submit.
