I'm trying to find out if there is a way to have a fixed currency for payments into civicrm, but also have a conversion to a set of other currencies.

For example;
Somebody wants to pay $100 US, but we only take Swiss Francs so they are given the amount in Swiss Francs equivalent to $100 US (around Fr.94).

Is this possible? can civicrm display that sort of thing?

Hi,

Civi handles several currencies, but not any exchange rate between them. It would be useful, for reporting too for instance.

How easy would it be to either create a custom payment page (as in from scratch in php) that then linked back to the payment processor (which I believe you helped develop) allowing payments with Post Finance. Or add into the existing page that civicrm creates for payments, an on the fly converter (probably a JavaScript type thing)?

If it's "only" a matter of display and suggest different amounts based on the currency, it's a bit of js as you said and it's simple (.extra.tpl is probably the easiest).

Postfinance can accept several currencies. for what I recall I coded the value based on the chosen currency in the payment page, but it's probably easy to make it a visible parameter and let the end user choose the currency. This would need some testing to confirm.

I posted the code for postfinance on github, could you create an issue there about the currency so we can keep track of it (and hopefully a pull request
