HCS and congos now support multiple currencies :) also, more on inventory control

Hi everyone,

This one has been on the to-do list *forever*, but is finally ready! HCS and congos now support 5 different currencies: USD, CAD, GBP, EUR, and AUD. Let me know if I’m missing any currencies that someone else would like to see. You can set the currency for your store on the Store Settings >> Profile page. For congos, this is a congo-wide setting. The default was set to USD, so if you want to remain on USD, you don’t have to do anything.

Also, with regards to the non-updating inventory control, I have a few responses to the comments that came in:

  • If you want items to come out of inventory when the shopper pays via e-check, you can set that option on the Store Settings >> Profile page (it’s the “Accept echecks immediately” option)
  • If you have some example Paypal receipts from orders where the inventory didn’t work, and ones from which they did, it would be really helpful if you could send those to hyenacart [at] gmail.com, noting which ones worked and which ones didn’t
  • If it never works for your store, please check that you have a Business or Premier account, and if it still doesn’t work, send an email to that effect to hyenacart [at] gmail.com
  • Also note, manually marking an order Paid will not take items out of inventory. You’ll also need to manually update the quantity of the listing.

Please let me know if you notice any wacky behavior in the HCS stores from the currency changes. And thanks for hosting your stores on HC!

  1. Could these changes be the reason I’m unable to pay for some recent purchases? When I try to pay I end up with this message on two completely different places. Both, where I have bought from recently.
    This recipient does not accept payments denominated in WS_Error_XClick_Pref_Foreign_Currency. Please contact the seller and ask him to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currenc

  2. I have a customer trying to pay me and she’s having the same issue. I’m glad to hear that it’s not a problem with her Paypal or mine, but I need to get paid!
