“Currencies” is a directory of monetary units and their exchange rates. Needed for multi-currency sales and for correctly converting prices received from suppliers in other currencies.
What you see
A table with the columns ID, Name (Hryvnia, Dollar, Euro), Code (980, 840, 978), Symbol code (UAH, USD, EUR), Sign (₴, $, €), Rate, an On/Off toggle, a Primary toggle and the change date. At the top are search and the + Create button. On the right are edit and delete.
How it works
- One currency is marked Primary (usually hryvnia with rate 1) — the main calculations are kept in it.
- For the other currencies you set a Rate relative to the primary one — prices are converted by it.
- The On/Off toggle makes a currency available on the site or hidden.
Why it matters
Exchange rates keep prices correct when a supplier quotes in dollars or euros, and let you show prices in several currencies. Without up-to-date rates, costs and prices drift off.
