It can easily be installed on any web site! This converter can be installed on any web page by simply adding one line of HTML. Currency converter is independent of what language your web site is written in (eg PHP, JSP or ASP), whether it is static, template or database driven, what web server your site runs on (eg Apache or IIS) or what operating system your web server runs on.
How often are the currency rates updated?
The international currency rates are automatically updated every day. The rates are automatically updated on our server and you are not required to manually change or update the prices. As Currency converter is a informational service a currency rate updated more than once each day is not necessary. If an updated international rate is not available on any given day for any reason the previous available rate will be displayed.
Where do you source the currencies from?
All currencies are sourced from multiple feeds including Reuters on a daily basis. Those rates automatically update our server which then supplies your web site with the currency rates that are used for the Currency converter conversion.
Can the currencies listed with the Currency converter be restricted?
Yes, you can specify which currencies you wish to be displayed on their site.
Can you add additional currencies for me?
If there is a particular currency that you would like included in the Currency converter service, e-mail us and we will contact you to advise the possibility of including that currency.
What type of rates are used?
The rates used are known as spot rates or interbank rates.
Is the converter easy to install?
Yes, it is very easy to install. You do not need to have web design or programming experience.
The majority of Currency converter customers (web site owners/managers) install Currency converter themselves without needing specific internet skills or the assistance of a web designer.
Once you signup with us, we can even install it for you, free of charge! (basic installation is free, customization will be quoted).
I have installed the Currency converter but none of the prices are being converted. What have I missed?
The reason why no conversion is taking place is because the Currency converter is auto detecting prices with the following format
Currency Symbol ($,£,¥,€) Space (optional) Numbers (16 or 16.00 or 2,568.90)
If the Currency converter does not detect this formatted text then it is skipped.
Will convert: $ 157.89, $156 and £15.00
Will Not convert: USD 157.89 or $AUD 134.00. (click the flags to try it: )
The Currency converter is designed for informational purposes to help web site visitors see an approximate cost of products and services in their home currency. The currency conversion amount actually charged to a consumer's credit card is dependent upon a combination of the payment gateway used and the credit card bank/company's exchange rates at the exact time when the credit card is charged (with different banks charging different rates). For this reason we do not recommend that Currency converter be added to the shopping cart page of a web site as the total converted amount may be different to the amount appearing on the consumer's credit card statement.
How should I tell my customers that the international conversions are approximate prices? We suggest that a note be made on the web site in your preferred location (at the bottom of each page and/or in an information page section) including information such as the following : confirming that the currency conversion amounts appearing on product pages are for informational purposes and are approximate amounts in the converted currency, that the consumer's credit card will be charged in …….. (Australian dollars, UK pounds, your business currency), and the converted amounts are not necessarily the exact amount which will appear on the consumer's credit card statement.

Will Currency converter slow down my site?
If the Currency converter is installed correctly, there should be no noticeable delay in the displaying of your web pages. The requested script from our servers are kept as small in size as possible for your needs. Currency converter uses advanced caching techniques, this means that this script will generally only be downloaded to the client once per user session. After it has been downloaded to the client once, the client will then use the script from their browser cache - therefore no longer downloading the script. This ensures that Currency converter has the least impact on your sites performance as possible.
What happens to my web site if the Currency converter server fails?
If for some reason the Currency converter server is unavailable, what will happen depends on a variety of issues -
- The type of browser the client is using to access your site (ie Netscape, Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari etc)
- The version of the browser
- If the client is accessing the site via a proxy server
- What caused the Currency converter server to be unavailable (ie network connection down, server down etc)
All of these issues contribute to what will happen. Currency converter has been designed so that if the request for the converter script fails, the web page will still display correctly without any errors. This is generally what will occur. However, in certain circumstances (eg a proxy server is being used) and certain browser configurations, a JavaScript error may be displayed when the page is viewed and the server is unavailable.
Where are Currency converter servers located?
Australia and United kingdom
Do you offer a service guarantee?
We do not offer a service guarantee due to a number of variables that are outside of our control (ie network connectivity, hardware, software etc).
What is the minimum browser support?
The Currency converter uses DOM (Document Object Model) functions. Any browser that supports these according to standards will work with Currency converter. We have coded however that IE versions below 5.5 will exit our script gracefully due to incompatibility.
