Hi, guys!

The currencies are very limited in the standard plug-in.
Is there a way to add new ones, besides coding?

Thanks!

Hi Alex,

What currencies do you feel are missing?
Not all payment gateway support all currencies.

You are right, Stiofan, although the Bank transfer supports them all 😉

I could code in an additional one, but probably will have to do it after every update.
I believe it will be easy for you to add the full list and let the customers choose.

Please, consider also the below for the future improvements (regarding the gateways):

Although not all the gateways support all the currencies, it would be nice if one could easily convert to an accepted currency through a conversion rate (either static or updated regularly from ECB, let’s say) and send the gateway the accepted one. The rest is an accounting department matter, but probably the private seller wouldn’t even think about it further.

I had done it with geodir_payment_manager (and probably will do it here as well), but honestly, I would really like to avoid re-coding after every update…

I hope you’ll think it over someday 🙂

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Umer,

If you replace this file then it will show PKR

Hi Stiofan,
We were trying to get some currencies working so we asked on the GD forum and Paolo sent us here. Reading this thread, it appears you are already working on something, which is great. But what can we do (quick fix) to add the Nigerian and Ghanaian currencies (for starters) please?

Thing is, the exchange rates are very steep and if we publish listing prices with so many zeros behind a $ sign, well, the customers will blow chunks. And we would like to avoid that.

Thank you

DR

Hi DR,

In next release there are some more currencies available.

Till next release you can use following code snippet to add currencies support of GHS & NGN. Add this code in your theme functions.php or via any snippet code.
```
/* Add new currencies Invoicing plugin */
function _wpi_custom_currencies( $currencies ) {
    $currencies['GHS'] = __( 'Ghanaian Cedi', 'your_textdomain' );
    $currencies['NGN'] = __( 'Nigerian Naira', 'your_textdomain' );

    return $currencies;
}
add_filter( 'wpinv_currencies', '_wpi_custom_currencies', 10, 1 );

function _wpi_custom_currency_symbols( $symbols ) {
    $symbols['GHS'] = '₵';
    $symbols['NGN'] = '₦';

    return $symbols;
}
add_filter( 'wpinv_currency_symbols', '_wpi_custom_currency_symbols', 10, 1 );
```

Hi Kiran,

Could you please provide a code snippet to add Costa Rican Colones CRC?

It looks pretty straight forward, but just to be sure.

Thank you,
Jolana

Hi Jolana,

You can copy the example above, all you need to know is the 3 letter currency name and the icon code.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Hi Stiofan,

I added the code via code snippet plugin, but I do not see the added currency under Invoicing > General > Currency Settings drop down for currency. Not sure why, can you please assist? I already have packages priced in dollar, but I presume I can change after I am able to add and change the CRC currency. This is a new site and need to change the currency before going live.

Thank you,
J

function _wpi_custom_currency_symbols( $symbols ) {
$symbols[‘CRC’] = ‘₵’;

return $symbols;
}
add_filter( ‘wpinv_currency_symbols’, ‘_wpi_custom_currency_symbols’, 10, 1 );

Hi Jolana,

Check now i have corrected snipped code on your site. Now currencies list shows “Costa Rican Colon” currency.

I have corrected single quote in snippet code and activated it and new currency back in list.
You have used single quote
```
‘
```
instead of
```
'
```
