GetPaid and Multiple currencies update

We got an update today from a GetPaid community member about progress on using multiple currencies in GetPaid.

Throughout the history of GetPaid, there have been several people interested in multiple currencies in GetPaid.  I was excited to hear from Jean-François Roche of Affinitic today about his progress in getting multiple currencies working in the context of GetPaid. I found out that he already has some useful use cases working and is waiting to get them in production to be able to merge them back into GetPaid.

Code monkeys can check out the latest in an svn repo. For those of us who prefer English explanations...a brief summary of what I learned about the work:

  • The work grew out of the need to manage currency based on the country of the buyer
  • The UI gets the price from the buyer at first entrance in the shop and then a utility that manages policies for the link between the country and currency picks which price to show.
  • Each country defined in the policies then has a separate price
We hope to see greater multicurrency functionality in GetPaid, so if this is of interest to you, please join our mailing list to discuss with others. Thanks for sharing the news, Jeff!
