Oops. Sorry, i didn’t mean the currency is an attribute. It isn’t.
But price is an attribute. By default, it has “globally editable” set to Yes. If you set it to No, you’ll be able to have one price on store A and another price in store B.
Then, you choose a currency for store A and another for store B.
You set the rate between currencies to what you want.

And you have a solution to mayerwin’s initial problem.

If you have a product with default price 50 and default currency Euro.
In french store, you don’t change anything.
In Swiss store, you set the cureency to CHF. And your product’s price will be set to the price you want to sell it in swiss store (but you have to set the value in euros if it is your default currency and it will display in CHF in your swiss store).

ahh! for a moment I thought my problems are over ... but not to be ,,,,I was looking for currency to be changeable at the product level. This is because, I have products coming from all over the world and each of it is in its respective country’s currency. Converting the prices into base currency and storing them wouldn’t be right as each product’s price changes differently as the source country’s currency changes.

Say in January 2008, 1$=40 INR and 1 GBP=65 INR
Prod A is from US and price is 10$ will need to be stored as 400 INR
Prod B is from London and price is 12 GBP will need to be stored as 780INR

in February 2008, if currency rates change as 1$=41INR and 1GBP = 60 INR
Prod A is from US and price is 10$ will need to be updated as 410 INR
Prod B is from London and price is 12 GBP will need to be updated as 720 INR

So you see, it would be better if I had stored the value of the product in its native currency and convert to the current exchange rate whenever a product is queried. I have a product catalog running into lakhs and updating the price of each product whenver the currency exchange rates change is no mean task. I hope you see where I am struck.

srinigenie - This sounds like an interesting problem to solve. For now I think you will need a custom solution for this.

Thanks

Dear Michael:

Do you know why it isn’t possible anymore in the last release to do what you told us on february the 22nd, regarding the multiple prices feature?

You should be able to change any product attribute to be not globally editable in admin Catalog-> Attributes -> Manage Attributes -> click on the attribute in the grid -> System Properties tab -> change Globally Editable to be ‘No’.

Please let me know if this is the solution for you.

Thank you,
Michael.

Now in the ”Properties tab”, there is no more ”Globally Editable”.
What’s more, although the “price” attribute’s scope appears as “Website” in the list of attributes, when editing a product it is [Global] that appears next to the price field.

How can we do as before? Thank you again for your help.

@mayerwin - I think this has been moved to System -> Configuration

You are right srinigenie, thank you very much! It was moved to “Catalog” > “Price scope”. However it is no longer possible to have a “storeview” scope… Fortunately this is not critical for me, but I think it would be a good feature and would not be that much complicated to implement since it was available before.

Thank you again, if I can also help you, don’t hesitate to ask me.

Regrettably this functionality is critical for me. I was looking forward to moving my site to the Magento platform. This is just not possible however, without the ability to have unique prices for each store view.

You still can create websites instead of storeviews. But I hope this functionnality will be there again in the next releases.

mayerwin,

Thanks for starting this thread as it is an issues that has had me stumped all day.

The removal of the ability to post different product prices at a store level seems to have been a major step backwards, given that I need to set different price points in each store i.e. £19.99 in a UK store and £39.99 in a US store.

This does not seem possible when the price can only be set at a Website level

Please excuse my ignorance but if you set up separate web sites, as opposed to stores, as you suggest, are you required to input each product separately into each web site installation?

Any feedback much appreciated.

Ivor

Dear Ivor,

Maybe this feature wasn’t very stable so the developement team removed it until they fixe some possible problems (I would also appreciate to know exactly what are the reasons).
If you set up separate websites, it can also work just like stores. You have to specify that the scope of the prices is “Website” instead of “Global”, in the general admin “Configuration” (it is no longer modifiable in the product configuration section), and you can of course publish your products in all websites, without having to duplicate them.

Good luck,

Erwin

Erwin,

Appreciate the prompt reply. Thanks.

I also need price and currency to be defined at store level. Is there a development case we can track or view to see if this is still going to be part of the system and re-integrated in up-coming releases.

So far Magento has surpassed all my expectations but this was one of the features that drew me to trying it out in the first place!

hello

also need to have a store with products in various currencies.

example:
in the same shop:

product A in U$S, product B in €, etc.

if someone knows will be in the next update?

excuse my bad English

Español:

si mi mal ingles no me jugo una mala pasada… estamos tratando el problema de tener varios productos en distintas monedas en una misma tienda y sin relacion de conversion entre ellas… no?

...estoy en ese problema…

necesito tener en una tienda varios productos con precios en distintas monedas sin relacion entre ellas. es decir:

ejemplo:

Unica tienda… Producto A en Dolares, Producto B en Euros, etc. y la tienda no debe ofrecer la posibilidad de cambiar entre monedas.

si mal no entiendo se comenta en las lineas de arriba que se piensa trabajar en el tema.

Alguien tiene alguna noticia nueva al respecto?

Gracias !

Any updates on this?

From what I can tell if you have two websites, one currency in each, and you want a different price for a product in each website then Magento can’t handle that.

NOP .. : +)

Hello Flowstack, thank you very much for your response !!!

But the idea is:

one site
one store
a product “AAA” is shown in U$S
a “BBB” is shown in €
At the same time
no equivalence between currencies

Does not matter if they do not appear coin sales statistics or elsewhere in the administration. the important thing is to show the public.

we already know that Magenta can not do this today ...

How might tomorrow?

How can we fix the meantime?

excuse my bad English

alive! Google translator
also translates English to Spanish ... :+))

...alguien que me ayude en el ingles… !!!.
