How do I show approx. price in 2nd currency?

Hi

I sell all my goods in £ GBP, but have a lot of customers in the Euro zone.

I currently only accept, and only want to accept payment in £ GPB, but I would like to show my customer the approximate price in Euro.

For an example of what I mean, go to eBay and look at a product listed in eBay of another country, but available to you e.g. this product below is listed in the USA and prices in USD, but I can buy it in the UK, and see the approximate conversion to £ GBP.

Well, that is what I want to do on my ZenCart.

Also...

I have my cart set so that the price is not seen unless the customer is actually logged in. I want to keep this feature with the displayed approximate Euro price.

Anybody any idea how I do this?

Thanks

Paul

Thanks afo

Is that mod an add on to drive ZenCart's own multi currency system?

So, would I need to change my cart from single, to dual currency using the ZenCart built in multi currency system first, then configure that mod?

I have never used anything other than the one currency, so don't even know how ZenCart's own multi currency system works.... But, I had thought it was a true multi currency module. i.e. the products in the cart will be priced in whichever currency the customer chooses.

If that is so, then I can't do that, as my merchant account will only allow me to accept £ GBP. thus my interest in only 'displaying' an approximate conversion, rather than giving the customer an actual choice of currencies in which to buy.

I just wanted them to see approx how much it is in their currency like the eBay example above.

Thanks

Paul
