Switching between currencies

[guestuser]

Do you have an easy way of being able to switch between currencies? I'm based in the UK and usually price in pounds sterling but would like to be able to give the user the option of paying in dollars. Any ideas besides having two shops?

Only way to do this is to create new product entries for all the products which you want to offer in another currency.

This works fine with PayPal but what about Google checkout? Can it be done? I keep getting the error:



"The currency used in the cart must match the currency of the seller account. You supplied a cart with USD and the seller account is associated with GBP."

[E-junkie_Chef]

If you are based in UK, you can only use GBP with Google Checkout. If you are based in USA, then you can only use USD with Google Checkout. That's their limitation

[payments]

So to use PayPal and Google Checkout with multiple currencies I need to have multiple E-junkie accounts for each Google checkout account (USD and GBP), and another account for PayPal (all other currencies)



In other words:



Payments in USD go to E-junkie account 1: Google Checkout USD & PayPal

Payments in GBP go to E-junkie account 2: Google Checkout GBP & PayPal

All other payments go to E-junkie account 3: PayPal



Is that right?

[E-junkie_Chef]

Yes, that will be the way to go if you want to use two Google Checkout accounts .. except I can't see the usefulness of the third E-junkie account?

The third account would be for currencies that checkout doesn't accept, i.e. Euro, etc..



It's the only way to have a link to PayPal and hide the link to Google Checkout.



I guess it would be so much simpler if there was only a way to choose which payment methods show for each currency or product.



Regardless, this is a solution - although a slightly more expensive one @ 15usd per month!



Thanks for your help though..
