MarinaDoc Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Good night: I wonder if it is possible to include a currency that is not classified as "normal". That is a "social currency" with which people can make exchanges without real money. In this post http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/181223-module-for-a-swap-shop-items/page__p__941347?do=findComment&comment=941347 I asked about how to get an online store with PrestaShop barter, but I didn'thave much success. So I believe that if I could include a social currency that it could carry out. I've been watching the demo but it seems that only accept traditional coins. Does anyone know if it could be done?. Thank you for your attention, Regards, Marina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Have you tried just adding a new currency from back office-->payment-->currencies? And then just playing with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaDoc Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Yes, I've tried but to be an unrecognized currency will not let me register it as such. It seems that only accepts legal currencies, and I'm looking to create an online store but that is based on social exchange where it is not necessary to use legally recognized coins.

I was able to add a 'made up' currency in 1.4.6.2. What version are you running I will test it on that platform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaDoc Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm testing the latest version because I need to have the option of multiuser in the store. Thanks for your interest and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello MarinaDoc, thank you for this information. In version 1.5 you can edit your currency to have a different symbol, in effect creating a different currency all together. For example instead of $15.00 it can say !15.00. This could be the symbol of your new currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjamin utterback Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello Marina, could you use an ISO of a valid currency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaDoc Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 I imagine that there would be no problem ... The idea was to create an online store that moved by "social currency" other than legal tcurrency, but which give trade in goods and services without money and without its legal tender, that is, a kind of barter .

benjamin utterback Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello MarinaDoc, out of curiosity, how would a transfer of these social currency payments be made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinaDoc Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 The truth is that I'm still a little green with PrestaShop and do not know if my idea can be carried out. The idea was that each customer of the store manager obtains x credits for actions taken by a service of a Time Bank. For example, if it is targeted at a Time Bank and that person makes a 1-hour assistance to another person in addition to curry favor with another person, receives x credit (discount coupons) social currency to enter the store and purchase items from that value. Maybe it sounds confusing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
