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.

For example, if you sell a t-shirt for £10, a website visitor can make an offer for £9 for the t-shirt. This offer is then sent as an email to the website administrator. They can choose to accept or reject this offer. If an offer is accepted, the person who made the offer receives an email stating that the offer has been accepted, and they can easily pay for the item at the offer price by clicking a link within the email. Each offer (if accepted) expires after 4 days.
The website owner has the chance to make a counter-offer, and can reply back with an amended price if they feel the original offer price is too low (no different to haggling in a market!). This is sent as an automated email - the site owner just needs to alter the price in the backoffice, and click "Send".
This facility is purely optional and is automatically disabled as a default setting. The site administrator can choose to select individual items that can be offered on, or could choose to put all his or her items on offer (one click of a button).
