Magento: Convert Price from Current Currency to Base Currency and vice-versa
Here is a quick code to convert price amount from current currency of the shop to base currency. This is applicable when you have a multiple currency shop.
From the code below, you can convert any currency you desire. You just need the ‘From Currency Code’ and ‘To Currency Code’. In the example below, I will be converting the current currency price to base currency price. You can do the vice-versa as well.
The currency convert function has the following parameters:-
currencyConvert($amount, $from, $to=null)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | $baseCurrencyCode = Mage::app()->getStore()->getBaseCurrencyCode(); $currentCurrencyCode = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCurrentCurrencyCode(); $price = 100; // convert price from current currency to base currency $priceOne = Mage::helper('directory')->currencyConvert($price, $currentCurrencyCode, $baseCurrencyCode); // convert price from base currency to current currency $priceTwo = Mage::helper('directory')->currencyConvert($price, $baseCurrencyCode, $currentCurrencyCode); |
Changing price from any one currency to another
You can manually change any one currency price to another. Suppose, I have a price in USD and I want to change it to NPR. Then, I will write the following code:-
1 2 3 4 5 | $from = 'USD'; $to = 'NPR'; $price = 10; $newPrice = Mage::helper('directory')->currencyConvert($price, $from, $to); |
Hope this helps. Thanks.
