Prices and totals can be displayed in multiple currences by setting up exchange rates.
- Setup: To set up an exchange rate, go to the Exchange rate setup on the Wizard panel. Existing exchange rates, if any, will be displayed at the top, and can be modified here. To add an exchange rate, enter the currency code, current exchange rate and choose whether the conversion is division or multiplication.
- Maintenance. For the Merchant's convenience, once the exchange rate is setup, the current rate can be updated in the Merchant panel.

{{exchange_rate(XXX,price_variable)}}
(Where XXX represents the currency code specified in setup and price_variable is the variable name to be converted. Example:
Price in USD: ${{net_price}}<br>
