How Do I Setup Live Currency Conversion Rates in Infigo?

Infigo supports automatic live currency exchange rate updates using exchange rate provider plugins.

This removes the need to manually maintain exchange rates across storefronts and allows currencies such as USD and CAD to update automatically using live market rates.


Supported Exchange Rate Providers

ECB Exchange Rate Provider

The ECB provider is intended for European currencies and requires EUR as the exchange rate base currency.

ExchangeRate-API Provider

For non-European currencies such as USD and CAD, use:

ExchangeRate-API exchange rate provider

This provider supports automatic live exchange rate updates for a wider range of currencies.


Configuring Live Exchange Rates

Navigate to:

Configuration > Currencies

Configure:

Setting Value
Current exchange rate provider ExchangeRate-API exchange rate provider
Auto update enabled

Enabled


Important Notes

Currency codes are used by the API

Exchange rate updates rely on currency codes (USD, CAD, EUR), not display names.

You can safely rename:

  • “US Dollar” → “USD”
  • “Canadian Dollar” → “CAD”

provided the currency codes remain unchanged.


Live rates override manual rates

When live exchange rates are enabled, manually entered exchange rates are automatically replaced by the latest API values.


Avoid duplicate currencies

Do not create duplicate currencies with the same currency code.

Instead, rename existing currencies where required.


Background Tasks

Automatic exchange rate updates rely on scheduled background tasks running successfully.

If rates are not updating:

  • Verify background tasks are enabled
  • Confirm the API connection is successful
  • Check provider configuration settings
