Automated exchange rate update - V5 beta testers required

[Jan]

I have a utility that runs automatically to update exchange rates that is just about to go into beta test. It runs once a day at a time specified by you, downloads the new exchange rates from your PSP and then uploads your catalog site. It is designed to work with any psp but is currently only available for worldpay. I am looking

1) V5 multicurrency worldpay users to beta test the product

2) V5 multicurrency users that do not use worldpay to help with developement the module for other currency rate sources.

If you are interested in this project please contact me offline.

Why dont you connect it to The Universal Currency Converter
http://www.xe.com/ucc/ and add option to add value to exchange rate.

Example:

If current rate is 1.00 GBP = 1.61729 USD

you set program to add 2-3 pence to the rate

I looked at this when I was developing the add-on, however decided not to use it. It's reason for existance really it to make sure that you are using exactly the same exchange rate as your PSP, so that you don't get different prices in your checkout and theirs - if this happened to me then unless I had shopped at the store previously then I would cancel the order.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
