1. Overview1. Overview

The Advanced Pricing Magento extension allows to manage product prices in a flexible manner. In particular, it allows to setproduct prices in different currencies independently of currency rates. You can, at your own discretion, adjust any givenproduct price in different monetary units, for example you can set charm prices instead of calculated by rates. Besides, theadministrator can set product prices for each store view separately. In other words, the extension appends Store Viewproduct price scope in addition to Website and Global. Another essential feature of Advanced Pricing is Zone Discounts thatcan be offered according to visitor's geographical location. It enables discounts for zones (areas / locations / countries /regions /states), by providing either fixed or percentage discounts for a particular product.

Advanced Pricing combines the features of our three extensions: Currency Pricing, Zone Pricing and Store View Pricing. Suchcombination allows getting the most advantageous price - location - store view - currency relationship. You can changeprices of a product as you wish:

3. Currency3. Currency

3.1. Enable Currencies

We will describe how to add more currencies to the system here. Please note, this feature is a standard Magento CommunityEdition function.

In administrator panel: System -> Configuration -> General -> Currency Setup -> Allowed Currencies.

Choose as many currencies as you need. If you have a wide range of international consumers you will need a list of all yourcustomers money units. Make the list of all required currencies.

In administrator panel: System -> Manage Currency Rates or System -> Manage Currency -> Rates (if your Magento versionis equal or above 1.7.0).

Now you can set the currency rates that are beneficial (most appropriate) to you manually or import rates from a service likeWebservicex. Save results.

So, you can choose as many currencies as you want. But if your currency list is too long you may limit it with the CurrencyGeo Filter extension. It will let your customer select currencies from the short list of monetary units which are common intheir region.

3.2. Price

You can overwrite the product price for each currency separately.

In administrator panel: Catalog -> Manage Products -> Edit Product -> Prices -> Price Per Currency.

Uncheck appropriate Default check box if you need to overwrite any currency price. If Default checkbox is marked thencurrency price will be dynamically calculated according to currency rates (default behaviour of Magento). Recalculate byfunction may assist you to overwrite currencies prices by desired currency. Check Recalculate by checkbox and selectprimary currency you want to use for recalculation. Once primary currency changed other currencies prices are comingupdated depending on rates automatically.

Now when a customer comes to your store and selects currency he will see next:
