Syncing Currency Rates

From the wp-admin -> Classifieds -> Options -> Currencies panel, you can manually edit the exchange rates for currencies, but using an external API, you can have the rates synced automatically once a day.

The automatic syncing will also update the Ad prices to reflect the new exchange rate. If you are using multiple currencies, it is recommended to use the API instead of doing it manually.

Note. If you are using just one currency, then there is no need to set it up at all, as your website does not need currency rates syncing.

Currently, the Currencies extension integrates with the Fixer.io API only. As of writing this doc, in the Free plan you can get the exchange rates 100 times a month, so it is more than enough to have the rates and prices synced once a day.

Sign up For An API Key

To use the API, you need the API key, you can signup for one here https://fixer.io/signup/free, fill the form and press “Sign Up” button, it should not require verifying your email, but if it does verify it and go to the Dashboard https://fixer.io/dashboard, you will find there your API Key, copy it.

Go to the wp-admin -> Classifieds -> Options -> Currencies -> Settings panel, in the “Currency Rates API” select “Fixer” and in the “API Key” field enter your copied API key.

All done.

Now the WP-CRON will automatically run the currency rates update once a day, you can also manually trigger it from the Currencies List panel by clicking the “Sync Currency Rates” button.

Remember not to overdo it, since each month you can request the currency rates 100 times only.
