STU Currency Rates is a nopCommerce plugin designed for stores that work with multiple currencies and need reliable, automatic exchange rate updates.
Integrated with the Brazilian Central Bank PTAX, the plugin retrieves exchange rates and provides them directly to the nopCommerce currency system, allowing your store to display prices in currencies such as USD, EUR and GBP while keeping Brazilian Real (BRL) as the primary financial currency.
Key Features
Automatic Exchange Rate Updates
Uses official PTAX data from the Brazilian Central Bank to keep nopCommerce currency rates up to date.
Native nopCommerce Integration
The plugin implements the standard nopCommerce Exchange Rate Provider interface, allowing you to use the platform's native currency management and automatic update features.
Multiple Currency Support
Configure currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP and other currencies available through PTAX.
Buy or Sell Exchange Rate
Choose which PTAX quotation type should be used according to your business requirements.
Weekend and Holiday Fallback
If no quotation is available for the current day, the plugin can automatically retrieve the latest available PTAX rate within the configured fallback period.
Optional Rate Adjustment
Apply an optional percentage adjustment to the exchange rate used by your store.
Settlement Currency Notice at Checkout
Ideal for stores that display prices in foreign currencies but process payments in BRL.
Customers can browse your store using their preferred display currency while receiving a clear notice before payment showing the actual amount that will be charged in Brazilian Real.
Example:
Displayed total: US$ 37.55
Final charge: R$ 199.00 BRL
This provides greater transparency and helps reduce confusion during international purchases.
Cart and Checkout Currency Notice
The settlement currency notice can be displayed in the shopping cart, payment step and order confirmation step.
One Page Checkout Support
The settlement currency notice also supports nopCommerce One Page Checkout.
English and Portuguese Localization
Language resources are automatically installed with the plugin. If Portuguese is not enabled in the store, English is used as the default language.
