Currency & Exchange Rates Oxide Interface

Automatically keep OXID eShop currencies and exchange rates up-to-date

The Netensio interface offers you the possibility to keep up to 33 currencies up-to-date in your online shop at the same time. You have the choice of either importing the currencies and exchange rates manually via the administration or updating them time-controlled using a CronJob automation.

By using this interface, you can ensure that your customers always see the current exchange rate and can therefore easily shop in the desired currency.

OXID Module: Currency and exchange rates

The OXID eShop, starting with the Community Edition, offers you the possibility to create different currencies and to display the prices of your goods in foreign currency using a conversion factor to the main currency of the shop. However, only a somewhat complicated data text field for the administration of currencies and their rates is available to you via the shop administration.

This can be particularly problematic if currencies and their rates are subject to daily fluctuations and thus have to be corrected regularly. In this case, you might want a way to automate and correct exchange rates.

Currencies in the OXID eShop with the Netensio interface

Via a separate menu item in our OXID interface, you have the option of importing all 33 currencies, managing them and keeping them up-to-date in the OXID system. The user interface of the module serves at the same time as configuration for the CronJob call and as control for the administration of your currencies in the OXID online shop.

All currencies that are set to "activated" are updated by the CronJob call in the shop system. The CronJob can be called in conformity with OXID via the command line by calling the OXID own CronJob file "/bin/cron.php".

Official and always daily updated exchange rates in OXID eShop

The timeliness and accuracy of currencies and exchange rates, especially when updating automatically, depends significantly on the data source. For this reason, our interface directly accesses the servers of the European Central Bank, which provide currencies and exchange rate data against the euro specifically for this purpose.

With every CronJob call and when the mask in the administration is called up, this data is transferred from our interface to your online shop. From there you have the possibility to control which currencies should be activated in the shop and which should not. It should be noted that our interface requires that the main currency of your shop system is the euro.

This way you can ensure that your currencies and exchange rates are always up to date and thus reliable for your customers.
