anyone can tell me the way to do that .. ??

*thanks before for the answer ..

You can set the default currency on the Payment > Currencies tab to "Dollar", then enter the currency rate of "Dollar" to 1 and the currency rate of "Rupiah" to the appropriate multipler. You can then enter the prices in the Back Office in "Dollar" and customers will be able to see the prices in either "Dollar" or "Rupiah" on your website.

i don't want to use 2 option of currency in Front Office ($ | Rp)("Dollar" or "Rupiah") .. but , i want to automattically only use Rupiah in front office ..

Then uninstall the "Currency block" and change line 22 of init.php from:

$cookie = new Cookie('ps');

$cookie = new Cookie('ps');
$cookie->id_currency = 2;

Change 2 to the ID of the currency you want to be used in the Front Office. This will force the currency to 2 whenever a customer visits your site.

Hi there, the solution works perfectly for previous versions, but in the new 1.4 doesn't, I was trying to solve that, so I have a temporal solution, (at least while some one else get a better solution)

In your headet.tpl file from your template directory add this in the line 63 or wherever your body tag is:

<body {if $page_name}onLoad="setCurrency(1);" id="{$page_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}"{/if}>

I just added the command that call the function to change the currency when loads the page "setCurrency();", you have to change the value for your prefered currency value

Hello,

Doesn`t works in Prestashop 1.4. I put that code in header.tpl but is no change in front office.

bellini13 · June 18, 2011

for v1.4 you can override the Tools class using the following code.

This code forces the Front Office currency to ZAR (or Rand), while leaving the Back Office currency whatever the default currency is.

class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
   public static function setCurrency()
   {
       global $cookie;
       $currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)Currency::getIdByIsoCode('ZAR'));
       if (is_object($currency) AND $currency->id)
           $cookie->id_currency = (int)($currency->id);
       return $currency;
   }
}

Hello,

Works for Prestashop 1.5

Thank you!

  $currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)Currency::getIdByIsoCode('UAH'));

  $cookie->id_currency = (int)$currency->id;
 return $currency;

Anyone tried to do the same for 1.5 mobile theme?

Any suggestions?

Thank's

curtisblackwell · August 28, 2013

The problem with this solution is that it prevents users from being able to switch currencies. I need to have a separate default in front and back while maintaining the ability to change on the front.

hi Rocky,

what I need to do to make prestashop 1.5.4.1 work ?

thanks my friend.

vekia · October 8, 2013

prestashop 1.5 doesnt use $cookie variable, in new ps you have to use context object to achieve this

betinhocarpi · October 9, 2013

prestashop 1.5 doesnt use $cookie variable, in new ps you have to use context object to achieve this

hi Vekia...

Is this correct line ?

if yes, how I change ?

$context->currency = new Currency(Configuration::get('PS_CURRENCY_DEFAULT'));$context->id_currency = 2;

like this not work...

if this line is wrong, what is correct line ?

thanks my friend.

vekia · October 9, 2013

you have to define whole new object, instead of :

$context->currency = new Currency(Configuration::get('PS_CURRENCY_DEFAULT'));$context->id_currency = 2;

just use:

$context->currency = new Currency(2);

moy2010 · October 20, 2013

These modifications have to be made in tools.php or in currency.php?

vekia · October 21, 2013

what ps version you use? everything depends on it

how to solve it in PS 1.56 ?

thanks

Rares Irimia · December 3, 2013

I have the same problem but in 1.5.6.1.

How I can solve.

Thanks.

vekia · December 4, 2013

you can use many currencies in prestashop, you can define default shop currency in back office: localization > localization

there is option to define default currency.

for what purposes you want different currencies? it's not useful

grobiou · December 13, 2013

Hello,

I have the 1.5.6.1 and need the currecy number 2 in the frontoffice without allowing to change it and at the same time keep USD as default currency. What't the file name where I have to make the changes?

Best regards.

grobiou · December 14, 2013

Hello, I found a way around to solve my problem. As I don't need people to access my store from other countries, I turned on the geolocation feature and blocked everyone but my country. Also, turned off the Block Currency. This way, I have the USD as the default currency but in the frontpage is always displayed my country's currency.

Margis · May 12, 2014

Hello,

How can I use this default currency override in multistore?

Two shops have the same default currency in BO.

I need one shop to show default currency in front office and another to show non-default currency on front office, so that user does not have to change it manually.

Is it possible?

PrestaShop version 1.5.6.2

you have to define whole new object, instead of :

$context->currency = new Currency(Configuration::get('PS_CURRENCY_DEFAULT'));$context->id_currency = 2;

just use:

$context->currency = new Currency(2);

christ67 · July 21, 2014

Hello....

i just install Prestashop 1.5.6.2 for my web store.

i want to use US Dollar as default currency in Back Office and Rupiah as default currency in Front Office (only one currency).

My products is imported, so have to use US Dollar.

Anybody can help me, please....

Best regards

bellini13 · July 21, 2014

could you clarify how the product is imported? why not convert the price from USD to Rupiah prior to the import?

genkiz · September 16, 2014

Hi,

How to solve this in 1.6.x?

Where should I use $context->currency = new Currency(2); ?

Thanks

cristidam · February 10, 2015

Hi,

For Prestashop 1.6.0.9 force currency in frontend.

/public_html/classes/tools.php

Replace line 431
$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)$cookie->id_currency);
with
$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)$cookie->id_currency=2);

Replace line 433
$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance(Configuration::get('PS_CURRENCY_DEFAULT'));
with
$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance(Configuration::get('id_currency'));

It works on my website.

class Tools extends ToolsCore
{
	public static function setCurrency()
	{
		global $cookie;
		$currency = Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)Currency::getIdByIsoCode('GBP'));
		if (is_object($currency) AND $currency->id)
			$cookie->id_currency = (int)($currency->id);
		return $currency;
	}
}

eg. for GBP.. in PS1.4

but my question is:

how to exclude payment modules?

does it work for home, product pages, categories or that override works for any page?

I need to exclude the payment module, if it has to show another currency with the correct exchange..

thanks

mmsh · August 17, 2015

hello, the real problem is another:

if the default shop currency is GBP but the front currency for payment method is EUR

the final invoice with this override method is GBP and it's not good...it should be EUR

so I need to show GBP as default FRONT currency BUT in case the user chooses a payment method which allows EUR only

after the final callback from the gateway the invoice must be in EUR... and THEN just the front currency has to return in GBP

please, how to do it?

Bellini,

"...while leaving the Back Office currency whatever the default currency is."

do you mean that in my case I should leave EUR as default shop currency and use the override for the front part only?

thank you

kenkomuri · January 9, 2016

Im using the latest version of Prestashop 1.6.1.4 and I am using USD as default currency in the backend (Importe products with cost in USD) of the store but I would like to use MXN (mexican peso) in the front end. Also I would like that PayPal module takes the MXN as input but in the website where is displayed the amount of the order is changed to USD taking into account the currency rate of Prestashop NOT PayPal.

bakh · March 6, 2016

I have been scratching my head whole day but cannot find the reason for this issue. My site is ginbaba.com

I am having a similar problem, it is not possible to change the currency on the front office. I tried to make a new installation of prestashop 1.6.x and change the currency but that did not worked either.

I hope someone can help. I have cleaned all the cashes ...... kindly help anyone .....

cosmoll · May 7, 2017

You can buy an extension for PrestaShop or you can do it yourself, fix just two lines of code.

So, open the file /classes/tools.php and find this (twice):

Currency::getCurrencyInstance((int)$cookie->id_currency);

And replace it to

Currency::getCurrencyInstance(N);

where N is an id of currency (1, 2, 3 etc.).

That's all. Don't forget to save the file. Tested with PrestaShop 1.6.

Hi

you copied this solution from another page on the web.... that's ok, but i was looking for some explanations more, the text is not clear for whom that are not developers :-)

Can you please tell me what it means?

N is an id of currency (1, 2, 3 etc.).

Can you make an example?

So, in my backoffice i pay EUR to my suppliers and i calculate the selling price in EUR.

To do this, if i don't misunderstand, i set up the default currency to EUR.

But I want my frontoffice to show another currency, for example USD, because my buyers will pay USD to me.

So how should i change that line?

Thank you very much for your help :-)
