Thanks in advise")* Hi, Yes. Usually what you do is that you disable the USD currency but keep it displayed and configure BRL as the main currency. That way, when the customer browse the website with the USD currency and then arrives on the checkout, the system automatically converts the prices to BRL. If you want to convert a price in your code using the currency converter system in place, you can do like that: Code: $class = hikashop_get('class.currency'); $srcCurrency = $class->get('USD'); $dstCurrency = $class->get('BRL'); $convertedPrice = $class->convertUniquePrice($price, $srcCurrency->currency_id, $dstCurrency->currency_id); The following user(s) said Thank You: [ghiamar](/forum/user/30361-ghiamar "View ghiamar's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg4Mzk5OC1jdXJyZW5jeS1jb252ZXJ0aW9uLW9uLXBheW1lbnQtcGx1Z2luP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[ghiamar](/forum/user/30361-ghiamar "View ghiamar's Profile")** - [![ghiamar's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar30361.png)](/forum/user/30361-ghiamar "View ghiamar's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/30361-ghiamar) Less More - Posts: 14 - Thank you received: 2 - - - - [](http://www.mgscreativa.com/en/online-store) - 10 years 6 months ago [\#237699](#237699) by [ghiamar](/forum/user/30361-ghiamar "View ghiamar's Profile") Replied by *[ghiamar](/forum/user/30361-ghiamar "View ghiamar's Profile")* on topic *[Currency convertion on payment plugin](/forum/31-development/883998-currency-convertion-on-payment-plugin#237699 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8 -- PHP version -- : 5.6.20 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : firefox 45 -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : none Hi, I have developed a payment plugin for south american MercadoPago gateway, and I wonder if I can convert the currency of the whole cart to the currency expected by the gateway, that differs from the cart currency.

Thanks in advise")* Thanks! it turns out that I already applyed that code before, but for some reason it doesn't convert the ammount, just let me double check my setup and will ask if I found something.
