[Resolved] Update Currency Rates VIA PrestaShop not working. Products prices set to '0' ZERO! :)

[PrestaHeroes USA]

There is a problem with the PrestaShop currency conversion. I manually updated my currienes and then notices 'later' that except for a few currencies GBP/AUD/CAD the conversion rate was set to zero.

 

so in other words all my products except for EUR and those mentioned has a displayed price of 0.00.

 

Can someone else verify that there conversion is or is not working. I saw a post earlier today 'cant find it now' where someone was having a similar problem.

 

doh!

NOTE this is not isolated to one or two shops...

 

this affects EVERY shop that uses the 'update currency' between their shop and PS

Hello, thank you for this thread. We are taking a close look at what could be the problem.

Good evening everyone,

 

First of all thank you for your feedback and responsiveness

 

I just fixed it, it seems that there was a temporary glitch with the bank we are relying on to retrieve the real-time currencies rates.

Just a quick question on these currency updates. If i allow currency conversion to show customer in their own currency, can i still set prestashop 1.5 so paypal will only accept the usd price on payment. Thanks in advance if anyone knows the answer.

You could do what you want if your shop's default currency is USD, then (see belows) use 'shop default currency'

 

paypal only accepts the following currencies:

https://www.paypal.c...c_intro-outside

 

for any currencies on your shop that are not supported, then exclude 'restrict' that currency in 'Payment module restrictions':

[adamus007p]

no it is not fixed

 

additionally:

 

 

when I wanted cancel some order i have got an error:

Fatal error (Order -> conversion_rate = 0.845800)

it is connected to this error

 

i use several PS 1.4.10

[vekia]

but currency rates update feature works well now, and the main problem in this thread was about updating currency rates, not about cancelling orders

[vekia]

EDIT:

 

adamus007p got right!

 

currencies exchange rates xml list isn't full once again

[cocothehorse]

We have the same issue on our shop. GBP and EURO work fine, but USD have zero prices for every product in our store.

[adamus007p]

I opened reports on forge but it is closed as solved, I wrote email to PS, but no answer.....

 

currency update rates are not fixed!

 

additionally there is an error to cancel any order Fatal error (Order -> conversion_rate = 0.845800)

 

3rd bug that you can not to update (manually) rates in BO in 1.4.10

 

 

no help or advice what to do from PS in such situaction, so here is my workaround:

 

- you are not able to change currency rates from BO, use database for it

- you can disable other currencies and leave only your default one (e.g. for people who don't know how to correct it in database)

 

 

there should be a mechanism which prevent such as situaction in the future

 

 

 

//

 

in my case we loose a lot of money cause customer did not paid 100euro but paid 0$

not explain to the customer that it was a bug from prestashop and customer should pay a money

 

if you sell didital files it is difficult....

Hi!

 

The bank we are relying on to retrieve the real-time currencies rates had another glitch 48hrs ago, indeed. To prevent that from impacting your PrestaShop 1.4 store, we did two things:

 

What we first did is we wrote a fix, you can either include it in your code right now, or wait for the next release to have it automaticaly included. Here's the fix : https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop-1.4/commit/018c40ff4d2878908ed6b4828df6beca764f38a8

 

Then, we created an alert system that warns us when there's a fault in the currencies update. It basically enables the system to realize when a new currency rate is wrong, and it stops the new currencies database to overwrite the previous one. This alerts system will be in place withing the next 24hrs, so you are sure not to encounter the problem again even if you don't include the fix in your code.

 

Thank you so much for your understanding and your patience.

[vekia]

Hello Xavier

 

where the fix is available? on forge or github?

[adamus007p]

please keep in mind that now when error occurred you are not able to cancel any order

Fatal error (Order -> conversion_rate = 0.845800)

 

and you are not able to edit currency rates from BO >> 2nd bug

 

where we can find this fix?

 

 

 

 

warns us when there's a fault in the currencies update.

us? who merchant or prestashop? if prestashop what when it happen on weekend or in bank holiday?

 

It basically enables the system to realize when a new currency rate is wrong, and it stops the new currencies database to overwrite the previous one.

 

so it will 1st verify the input data before will rewrite data in the database?

Hi guys

 

I know this might be a bit off topic, but I can´t find the answer elsewhere.

 

In my multistore..

 

Shop B has a different currency, and its set to conversionrate 1.22.

 

However, its not changing in frontend so all price in shop B are 1 to 1 - but in correct currency.

 

How tried to solve it for days, but no luck.

 

Is this also a known issue?

 

Thanks!

[ricky11]

Suggest start a new topic ftlrs

 

If your currency is 1-1, then you click on "update currency"?

[ftlrs]

Thanks for getting back Ricky11. 

 

I tried that too yes. But still, in front end, its just showing the same price as in shop A, with the currence of shop B.

 

Any other ideas?

My shop is set up with USD as default currency. I wish to also display GBP. I add the new currency as the non-default currency and all seems to be in order,BUT.... When you go to the shop and look at the GBP price it show 0.00.
This problem has been identified before and closed a resolved, but it is not resolved.
I manually set non default currency and the rate of .60. BUT when you go back into the edit currency, the currency still shows 0.0000 even though it was set to .60 and displays .60 in the main currency window. I think this is the BUG.... it is displaying on the website 0.00 as it is using the rate in the currency edit window (0.0000) as opposed to currency rate displayed in the main currency window.
For now I have had to disable the GBP currency until I can get to to display the correct pricing (Not 0.00) on my website.

This is not the same issue, if it was then if you clicked 'update currencies' then the non-default currency would show '0'.  I looked at your back office, including clicking 'update currencies' and you have proper update.

weird, when I look at your currency screen, it shows conversion, but when I edit the currency, it then shows 0.00.

 

for now I would turn off gbp/euro until trouble shooting completed.

 

but it would seem there is an issue with the mysql table.

 

again, weird, but not same as auto/manual update creating 0.00 because it does show in your loc/currency...

Hello,

 

How can I identify the exchange rate of a particular order that was transacted on a specific date. I'd like to show this info at the back office in the "Orders" so that it is easier for the finance team to do their accounting. I'm not too sure which table I should refer to for the exchange rate that was used a specific order.

Right now everything works fine with the currencies update via the currencies.xml from Prestashop. The only problem is that those rates are not even nearly up to date and as such completely useless to us. Is there any other possiblity to get realtime currency rates from Bloomberg or Yahoo which reflect the reality and not some obscure data which is weeks or even months old?

official currency rates repository is not updated all the time

here on forums someone from prestashop stuff said that this currency feed is not updated while they are on holidays etc.

sad, but true. unfortunately
