Multi-website Magento instance Base Currency / Display Currency issue

[ostukalovprovectus]

We have a Magento instance that has multiple websites (multiple stores and store views).

When PayOne is configured, you can choose 2 options. Base Currency and Display Currency. The base currency for Magento instance is EUR.

The problem is that for each website we have different Base Currencies. E.g. for the polish website - Base Currency is PLN, but for PayOne the base currency is always EUR.

This is a very critical issue that does not allow charging money in certain store views.

Looking at the code, we grab the respective currency from the Quote:

Can you tell me the plugin and Magento version you're using? I'll then try to reproduce your issue.

I think the concern is about $sCurrency = $oQuote->getBaseCurrencyCode();

It takes it for the whole instance (default one), not per website. I can share screenshots, or provide information in a different form. Just let me know how can I contact you.

Magento CE 2.3.3 (the same was reproduced on 2.2.2)

Okay, as a non-Magento-person, I'd expect the Quote to give me the currency from the website it was created in, but that's just me. :)

How would the usual approach to this look? In that method, we don't really have a lot of context.

@fjbender,

Let me explain the issue. https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/stores/websites-stores-views.html

In Magento default config we have base currency = EUR. In every website (we have >5, each with different URLs), we have its own Base Currency set (which might be different to EUR).

But, in your extension, in settings we have only 2 options: Display Currency and Base currency - which is always EUR, you just take it from Global settings.

That's a clear example: 1) Globe settings - Base Currency is EUR 2) Website - Base Currency is PLN 3) Website has several store views, 3.1) with currencies setup PLN and 3.2) EUR (prices are converted from PLN in this case).

And what happened, we cannot choose Base Currency for this website (it allows only taking it from Global settings), but if we set to Display Currency, store view with EUR won't work anymore... because PayOne account is in PLN.

I hope I explained it clear.

All right, thanks for bearing with me.

I'd need to get Dev involved here to get an assessment. I'd propose to change the selection of the "Currency" config option to something like:

• Base Currency (Global)
• Base Currency (Website)
• Base Currency (Store View)
• Display Currency (Store View)

Does this make sense?

[ostukalovprovectus]

Yes

I have created a ticket for Dev. Please allow some time for the initial assessment.

302 should tackle this issue. I couldn't test it yet, but maybe you already have some suggestions
