Offerit Currency Exchange Rates
Currency Exchange Rates
Ideally, the amounts reported back to Offerit should be a converted amount to your base currency. However, offerit can be used for converting amounts instead. When sending a postback to offerit for a different currency, we will use the exchange rate configured in your Offerit install at the time we receive the postback/pixel call for a transaction. With these details in mind, here are a few potential issues that can occur when using Offerit for converting currencies:
- The exchange rate used by the processor for the transaction does not match up with the exchange rate configured in offerit when the postback/pixel is received
- The exchange rate our source is reporting does not match the rate you want or expect
- The source api fails to return the latest rates
Automatic Updates *COMING SOON*
By default Offerit updates conversion rates once a day from https://exchangeratesapi.io/. We have options to decrease this frequency to weekly if you choose. If you would like to update more frequently than this, you can turn OFF the automatic update configuration and use our API to send exchange rate updates. http://wiki.offerit.com/index.php/Offerit_REST_API_Set_Currency_Exchange_Rates
