puresilva e-commerce now supports multiple currencies

Our e-commerce solution now supports multiple currencies. Visitors will see product prices in their local currency automatically like this:-

£1.95 (136.52 THB)

The above example shows an item price in GBP with Thai baht in brackets - visitors who are identified as coming from Thailand will see this - US visitors will see the equivilant in US dollars (and so on). Their country is identified by their IP address (with 95% accuracy) - the default currency is GBP in the rare cases the country cannot be identified. Exchange rates are no older than 20 minutes so they are essentially right up-to-date. This is just a guide for visitors - all items are still purchased in GBP but each user can see the equivilant prices in their local currency to get a quick idea of how much an item is worth.
