Set up multicurrency with template sets

How to set it up

1. 1

   Create a template set for each locale you want to offer, each with the right currency and language. See Create a new template set.

2. 2

   Add the template_set parameter to a link or form that hits your store's /cart endpoint, using the template set's code:

https://yourdomain.foxycart.com/cart?name=Example&price=50mxn&code=a33938&template_set=mx

Set the currency silently on page load

To set the session's currency without sending the customer to the cart (for example, on page load or when they click a locale link), request the /cart endpoint in the background:

html

<a id="locale-mxn" href="javascript:;">Set locale to MXN in the background</a>
<script>
  document.getElementById('locale-mxn').onclick = function(){
    FC.client.request('https://' + FC.settings.storedomain + '/cart?template_set=mx')
    .done(function(data){
      console.log(data.locale_info.int_curr_symbol);
    });
  };
</script>

Notes

• Changing template_set to one with a different locale than the cart is currently using will empty the cart. To avoid losing items, add the products in the same request that changes the template_set and they'll be added in the correct currency.

• If you don't pass a template_set, customers see your store's default locale (the DEFAULT template set, or the store locale setting on your store's settings page).
