I am trying to implement a new currency called "points" into my magento (CE 1.9.2.1) installation. I already installed this currency with my module and an installer script, marked it as allowed and I am possible to switch between "EUR" and "Points" in the frontend.
Here's the trick. Magento expects a currency rate for this new currency. But there's no currency rate, so that points can't be converted to EUR and EUR can't be converted to points. These currencies are independent.
The customers who are using this store should have the opportunity to buy this product with
points (no reward points. you can not earn points by buying a product) OR
EUR.
Therefore I'd like to know if there is a possibility to
Display multiple currencies for products (Available for 5.00€ or 200 Points)
Add a field in the admin product view (Price (€); Points). This field "points" has to be connected with my installed currency "points".
Do you have any ideas how to implement this? Any help would be appreciated.

Site requirement is that all products are available to purchase in either GBP, USD or EUR. However, pricing is fixed for each product - client does not want pricing based on current exchange rates. If they did it'd be easy!
We have customers assigned to groups (price bands) and for each product we set the price for each price band. GBP has 5 price bands, USD has 2 and EUR has 1.
This is where it gets tricky. With the main site base currency set to GBP, in order to set USD & EUR in advanced pricing (i.e. fixed by customer group), we have to create a US and EU website. It's the only way to select a different currency in Advanced Pricing. Fine, but we don't want different domain/URLs for the three sites. That would in effect duplicate the same site three times with the only difference being the currency symbol. That would play havoc with search engine ranking. So I've set all three sites with the same domain but it doesn't work.
The only way to select the website when creating a customer is to have Account Sharing Options set to "per website"; otherwise the option to select website is disabled. I create a customer in admin, assigned to say the US site. Customer get's a mail to set password. Follow the link and try to set the password and it comes up with an error "Something went wrong while saving the new password." I'm guessing this is because it's trying to set the account password on the main site when the customer is associated with the US site. I've tried this multiple times and it's always the same error.
Anyone have any idea how to configure Magento 2.2 to support multiple currencies where pricing is fixed in Advanced Pricing by Customer Group and without having three duplicate public sites?
Have a Magento site ver. 1.7.0.2
We have one store set up for, primary is UK, but also want to offer global sales (without multiple stores setup).
So we offer 3 selectable currencies on the site: UK - GBP (main), EU - Euro, US - USD
All prices are excluding vat/tax with a vat breakdown displayed at the cart and checkout.
For UK there is 20% VAT
For EU there is also 20% with a option to add valid EU vat number (which removes the VAT)
This all works fine.
However if you select the USD currency and add a item to the cart it gives a vat breakdown (20%), even though we dont want to add tax when USD is selected.
I should note that once you do checkout and have told the site you are in the US then is correctly removes the vat/tax.
So to clarify, we want it so that if the USD currency is selected on the site no tax/vat is added to the product price in the cart.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I would suggest setting up multi-store configuration, using a store front for each location (UK/US/EU)
This will allow you to set the default country for each sub-store and then you can make the USA the default shipping destination / country for the US store, this will immediately apply the tax rules for this country when purchasing items from the US Store Front.
You said there's no multi-store, setup, but do you have a good reason why you don't want to use this kind of setup? it will allow you to do what you need.
The issue with your setup is that there's no way for the store to know where the customer is before they either login or select during the checkout, this is because you will only have one default location for all currencies.
There may well be a way of doing it like this, but not that I know of. This is what the store front and/or multistore is meant for and good at.
I'm looking for a way to change the base currency without having to update thousands of product prices.
To my knowledge such an action is not supported from the backend alone it seems.
The situation is as follows:
EUR is our base currency and all our prices and postage rates are set in EUR of course.
We also support AUS, GBP, USD etc.
The problem is that our store is located in a country that does not use any of these currencies. Therefore it would be better for us to change the base currency to the one used
in our location so we can set product prices and postages in this currency so that they always remain accurate regardless of the up and downs of the currency market.
Can this be done without going through all the products manually and update the prices (or, for that matter use a spreadsheet import)?
You could check out Product Base Currency, it's a commercial extension though: http://innoexts.com/promotion/product-base-currency/
It allows to set base price in a local currency for each product separately. It supports the following attributes: Price, Special Price, Tier Price, and Group Price and provides capability to import/export products in multiple base currencies.
I have a complex online store, meaning that we sell direct to retail customers and we wholesale to stores different countries, and I am very confused as to how you set this up with multi-site and multi-currency.
The Products
Wholesalers can order products before retail customers can, so there are products that wholesale shopper groups can ONLY see, on their wholesale site and in their currency, and then some time later that product is also available on the retail store too.
Wholesale Challenge
The wholesalers need to be charged in their currency and the price needs to be set manually for that currency. It's very important.
So for example, if you are a wholesale customer in Australia, you need to see the AUD price when browsing, and be charged AUD on your invoice. This AUD price needs to be set manually by us. Because of market restrictions, the AUD wholesale price cannot just be the currency converted from NZ (my base currency).
And this needs to be done for a number of currencies - NZD, AUD, GBP, EUR etc. We also have some user-group pricing too for wholesale customers - so a particular customer who shops in GBP might have a different price to all other GBP wholesale customers. This seems easy enough to just set a new price for different groups.
Retail Challenge
For the time being, it's fine for retail customers to be seeing a converted price on the daily conversion rate, and then be paying in the base currency at the checkout, and charged a conversion fee from their bank. But in the future we would want to change to them actually paying in their local currency.
Any ideas on how this can be set up properly, as it is very confusing. We are already running the retail store on Magento and it's going great.
We are using Community Edition 1.7
Do you understand German?
Have a look at my tutorial.
http://www.magecoder.de/mehrere-wahrungen-currencies-in-magento/
I'm evaluating if Magento will be suited to a particular client. They have an unusual requirement where their products may have two price components, one in AUD and one in reward points. There are three combinations of prices: all AUD, all reward points and a fixed mix of both.
I was wondering if Magento supports such a scenario? That is, can it have products flowing through to the shopping cart which have multiple currencies?
My research indicates you can have different currency prices per store for a product in Magento, but you can only have a single price per product within the same store. Also, that the shopping cart only supports a single currency (though you can switch between currencies), so I'm guessing I couldn't add two products, one from each store to the same cart. Are these true?
If my research is correct, I may need to resort to some sort of custom field against the products. If I do that, am I going to have to toss the standard Magento shopping cart out and roll my own?
Actually this might simpler than you think. If you want reward points as currency you can use:
