Get currency exchange rates data by Ajax

Hi @vladseka

Unfortunately, it is not possible to AJAX switch currency. The page need to be reloaded to change currency.

Hi, Julian, thanks for your reply.
Looks like my question was not so clear.
I need to get the currency rate value between USD and CAD which is currently set in the plugin. (for example, 1.303)

I’m not going to switch the currency, just need the exchange rate value by ajax.

To make the question more clear, I need your help with the PHP code to get the plugin’s exchange rate data.

@vladseka You can use method get_exchange( $main_currency, $currency_code ) in file \woocommerce-multi-currency\includes\data.php

Hi @thanhtd, thank you for your help. ??

As I understood, the function from USD to CAD is like this? get_exchange(‘USD’, ‘CAD’)

And how can I call this function in the theme’s function.php file?

Hi, I’ve found the currency_rate value in the wp_option table, the option name is woo_multi_currency_params.

I found that the currency_rate value is located here.
s:13:"currency_rate";a:2:{i:0;s:1:"1";i:1;s:5:"1.303";}

What I need to get is the value 1.303

I tried below to response to the ajax.

$rate_val = get_option('woo_multi_currency_params');
echo $rate_val;

But the console shows empty response.

Is there anyway to get that value, please?

Thanks!

You can try :

$data     = new WOOMULTI_CURRENCY_Data();
$get_rate = $data->get_exchange( 'USD', 'CAD' );
echo '<pre>', print_r( $get_rate, true ), '</pre><hr>';
