Try 

$currency = new Currency($id_currency);
$currency->conversion_rate

Although you obviously can't get it unless it's a non-default currency. The method you mentioned is still supposed to work even in 1.7 anyway

Hi,

 

Use the following code to get the currency conversion.

 

For Prestashop 1.6:

For default currency conversion:

$conversion_rate = Context::getContext()->currency->getConversationRate();

OR 

$currency = new Currency($id_currency);
$conversion_rate = $currency->getConversationRate();

 

For Prestashop 1.7:

For default currency conversion

$conversion_rate = Context::getContext()->currency->getConversionRate();

OR 

$currency = new Currency($id_currency);
$conversion_rate = $currency->getConversionRate();

Thank you for the answers. I have a default currency usd and an additional currency with id = 4. Where to insert into your code id number to get rate for desired currency? Should do like this:

$currency = new Currency(4);
$conversion_rate = $currency->getConversionRate();

Yes, You will get the conversion rate of the additional currency in respect of default currency (Basically the rate which have defined in the admin).

Are you looking for the same OR something else?
