Adding a New Currency in OpenCart

Since the Internet is global; your customers may want to purchase or see the purchase price of a product in their native currency for the country they live in. You can easily add a new currency to OpenCart through the OpenCart dashboard.

1. Log into your OpenCart Dashboard
2. Go to Localisation >> Currencies
3. Click “Insert”



4. Fill in the fields for the currency you’re going to add



Currency Title	This is the title you want to name the currency
Currency Code	This is the ISO Code standard for the currency
Symbol Left	Use this for currencies that use symbols on the left
Symbol Right	Use this for currencies that use the symbol on the right
Decimal Places	Show how many decimal places are in the site
Value	This is the exchange rate based on your default currency

5. Click “Save”

Please keep in mind that you will need to update the “Value” when the exchange rate changes for the new currency. The exchange rate does not update on its own.
