Understanding Multi-Currency Support:
In simple terms, multi-currency support signifies that shoppers can buy goods and pay for them in currency of their choice. It is completely left to the discretion of the customers to pay either in USD, Euros etc. The trend of customers being forced to pay only in USD or Euros is manifest in various e-commerce platforms. However, shoppers can do away with this lamentable experience if e-commerce marketplace scripts are provisioned with Geo-Based Multi-Currency Converter. Our e-commerce marketplace script enables shoppers with a host of the following currencies:
US Dollar

Statistics that bespeak the cross border purchase:
According to the figures provided by market research and technology firm, Forrester research, an overwhelming 25% of European and an astonishing 30% of US online shoppers are engaged in cross border purchase. When it comes to the purchase of software products, this figure is bound to scale to new heights. E-commerce marketplace scripts that are endowed with this ‘Geo-Based Multi-Currency Converter’ feature are expected to an instant hit.
Note: Our online marketplace script comes with Multi currency converter module which uses XE.com API to convert product prices in real time.
This is how it works: The marketplace is based out of United States. It has global vendors selling products. By default all the product prices are in USD.
