Change currency of existing feeds

    First of all, a big thank you for implementing Aelia currency switcher compatibility and the ability to append url parameters to the feed product links, you rock!

    When I enable the Aelia currency switcher option, and go to the settings of existing feeds I can’t seem to change the currency (it defaults to EUR). Could you check if there is a small bug there? Or do we have to create the feeds again to make it work?

    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the compliment.

    We intentionally disabled the currency drop-down as changing the currency setting for a product feed could have potential big impact. It would for example also mean that you would have to change the currency prefix/suffixes on the attribute mapping pages. We noticed users forgot this, switched the currency setting but forgot to change the currency prefix (such as USD, EUR, GBP etc) which caused some ‘unexpected’ errors in Google’s merchant center ??

    Hence, we figured it was probably safer to ‘force’ users to create a complete new feed when they want to change currency. It is not the most user-friendly solution but we want to prevent issues from happening which I just described.

    Hope this makes sense?

    All the best,
    Eva

    I see. Maybe a warning message next to the setting would have worked better ??

    Could you at least enable this behaviour when copying feeds? It’s really time consuming to have to create feeds from scratch for each currency and setting all the mappings / rules / filters etc…

    Thanks!

    Hi Chris,

    You clearly are on the old version of our plugin ??

    Update to version 4.3.4, clear your browsers cache and you should be fine.

    All the best,

    Hi Eva,

    I just noticed that the Aelia currency switcher setting is not applying its magic on the shipping prices, could you check?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Are you using this plugin for that:

    Or just the exchange rate?

    Hi Eva,
    Just using the exchange rate. Would be great if it just used the right prefix and exchange rate applied to the shipping cost like it does for the product price.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Just upgrade to version 4.3.5 and you will find that your shipping cost will be converted to the correct currency using the exchange rate.

    All the best,
    Eva
