This plugins add capability for CHIP for WooCommerce to convert total amount made in any currency to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR).
Currently, the plugin have been integrated with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and Open Exchange Rate (OER) to automate the currency conversion process. The default provider is BNM API. Please do write to us if you need to integrate with other providers.
However, you may opt to define your own conversion rate instead of using the automated currency exchange rate
By default, the plugin will work as-is upon activation. However, you may tweak the configuration to fit your business needs. The configuration is made using PHP define where you can store the value in wp-config.php file. Alternatively, you may configure it on chip-woo-convert-currency.php.
You may use your own exchange rate instead of automated from API providers. By setting this option, the plugin will not fetch exchange rate from API providers.
define('CHIP_WOO_CC_DEFINE_YOUR_OWN', 3.32);By default, the plugin is set to fetch the information from Bank Negara Malaysia API. However, you may change to your preferred providers if any.
define('CHIP_WOO_CC_PROVIDER', 'bnm'); // possible values: bnm, oerNote: if you are using Open Exchange Rate, you need to set the key for the exchange to work
define('CHIP_WOO_CC_OER_KEY', '<open-exchange-rate-key>');Since the conversion of currency will require conversion back to merchant home currency, you may specifiy additional charge for the currency conversion. This is an important configuration since merchant who are reporting in USD, receiving in MYR will required to convert it back to USD.
The charge calculation are added after conversion is done.
define('CHIP_WOO_CC_CHARGE_PERCENT', 0); // 0 Percentdefine('CHIP_WOO_CC_CHARGE_FIXED_CENT', 0); // 0 CentKindly note that different providers do support different currencies.

By default, the currency conversion rate is cached and will be only retrieved in every 30 minutes. You may override this behavior by adding filter wc_chip_currency_provider_refresh_minutes. Example code will make the interval changed to every hour.
add_filter('wc_chip_currency_provider_refresh_minutes', function($minutes){ return 60 });In the event of the plugin failed to retrieve the conversion rate from API provider, it is expected for the Checkout to error and thus preventing the buyer from making payment. This is by-design to ensure the order amount is didn't wrongly calculated and the buyer didn't pay wrong amount for an order.
