Multi currency shopping cart choice to go with WORLDPAY

Looking for for a simple shopping cart to deal with VAT, variable shipping and make full use of displaying mutlicurrency when integrated with my WORLDPAY account.

I have seen the OSCommerce examples which can also pick up the actualy WP exchange rate feed which is good but I really don't like the OSC Create Account format. I know I bug out of those all the time. Can I bypass that bit of OSC and just collect the same client info as part of my order page?

I hadn't expected it to be so difficult to find a way to display mutli currency on my order page, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

I might be splitting hairs here but why show multiple Currencies? Why not have teh customer choose which currency they buy in?

You may end up confusing a customer. believe me its real easy to do.... and an expensive habit.

Maybe I wasn't clear. We currently show UK Pounds sterling on our UK order page but US dollar as the default currency on the .com order page. However quite a number of visitors to the .com home page are uk customers or european and they should have the option to click on a drop down and see their purchase in Pouds or Euros. ( Many do change the currency so they know what they are spending)

We currently have this facility on our order page but it is only on the WORLDPAY checkout junior which is being discontinued. As part of the process of changing to Junior Select and adding VAT registration I thought we could easily build in the muti currency.

Bottom line is I want any visitor to be able to select a currency they are familiar with and have the rates read from WORLDPAY so the price they are shown is the price they pay.

Hi,

I'd recommend "Cactushop". Offers a lot of the functionality you're looking for. Could be worth a try.

private msg me for more info or also check out our site shown in my profile.
