[opensuse-project] The openSUSE Shop currency issue
Hi, I was just looking at the products available on the openSUSE shop: http://shop.opensuse.org/shop-eu.html and I was surprised to find that the only currency the prices are given in is Euros, this would put me off of buying from this site as I wouldn't know how much I was spending and I'm sure others would have similar concerns. I think every other online shop I have seen/used has had at least an approximate reference in other currencies, which can be selected by the user, a good example of this is www.yesasia.com, who make a point of telling the customer their own currency is there for reference only and isn't the exact price. This feature would be very simple to implement, and I believe it would be a huge benefit to the openSUSE shop. There could be a simple lookup of Euros to a range of popular currencies, and based on the currency the user has selected (which could be stored in a cookie) a simple calculation could be done and the approximate price could be displayed, in brackets alongside the actual price, which would still be in Euros. -- Regards, Barry Nichols P.S. sorry if I am sending this to the wrong people, but I wasn't sure where to send it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

Hi Barry, Do you see the "powered by spreadshirt" logo on the page? This basically means: you need to talk to spreadshirt.net about feature requests. We do not run the shop ourselves.

Indeed you can only set one currency for the shop, it's a "spreadshirt.net" problem. We'd have to set up several shops if we wanted to accomodate for different currencies. But then google translates eur gbp converter to http://coinmill.com/EUR_GBP.html ... hth?
