Hello, I am looking for a plugin for my Squarespace site to change $ to AED and the Pro version of your plugin looks great. But can you please expand on how this plugin rounds the currency?
As in AED, 10 Dirhams is circa $3 so when you're selling high price items it looks odd to the customer to be selling them as AED1843 for example. Would look better as AED1850 or even 1900.
Is this possible?

There is an option to round prices:

It behaves as follows:
If the price is less than 20, round up to nearest whole unit. For example: 19.20 becomes 20
If the price is greater than 20, less than 500, round up to the nearest 5. For example: 36.23 becomes 40
If the price is greater than 500, round up to the nearest 10. For example, 701 becomes 710.
It has been designed this way (always rounding up) to avoid nasty surprises for your customers when they go to checkout – they will get an up to date price rounded by your payment provider and it’ll be slightly less than what was displayed on screen for them.
Price rounding is also great to avoid price movements throughout the day/week. Your users will get confused if your prices are constantly changing, so by rounding the price you avoid this.

replied 2 years ago Would it be possible to add a little more granularity for the rounding tiers? Items in the low 20’s being rounded up 5 is too great. IE 20.40 ending up as 25 is a huge jump. Let’s say, between 20-50, it should round up to nearest whole unit, plus 1. So 20.40 becomes 22. And 33.11 becomes 35.

I’ve deployed a new version for you to test. If you could please alter your code injection area and the mulicurrencyalizerXY.js part to this:
multicurrencyalizer3.81.js
Let me know your results.

replied 2 years ago I’ve turned on the rounding, and with both 3.80 and 3.81, the rounding option is also changing my base currency prices, which should not be touched at all.
You need to ensure your first currency listed is your home currency.

replied 2 years ago The first currency listed is the home currency. The script seems to be altering the home currency as well.
