Magento: How to get Currency Rates?
You can see the currency Rates from Magento Admin
System -> Manage Currency Rates
You can change base currency and allowed currencies from
System -> Configuration -> GENERAL -> Currency Setup -> Currency Options
Now, here I will show you how you can get currency rates values for any given currency code.
Here, I will be fetching currency rates for base currency. You can keep any currency code instead of basecurrency.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 | /** * Get the base currency */ $baseCurrencyCode = Mage::app()->getBaseCurrencyCode(); /** * Get all allowed currencies * returns array of allowed currency codes */ $allowedCurrencies = Mage::getModel('directory/currency') ->getConfigAllowCurrencies(); /** * Get the currency rates * returns array with key as currency code and value as currency rate */ $currencyRates = Mage::getModel('directory/currency') ->getCurrencyRates($baseCurrencyCode, array_values($allowedCurrencies)); |
Similarly, you can get currency rates for any currency code. But remember that the currency should be set as allowed currency in
System -> Configuration -> GENERAL -> Currency Setup -> Currency Options -> Allowed Currencies
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | $allowedCurrencies = Mage::getModel('directory/currency') ->getConfigAllowCurrencies(); /** * Get currency rates for Nepalese Currency */ $currencyRates = Mage::getModel('directory/currency') ->getCurrencyRates('NPR', array_values($allowedCurrencies)); |
Hope this helps. Thanks.
