WHMcs uses a currency rate source that is unable to convert automatically some currencies like ARS (Argentine peso).

I see similar requests for other currencies; I wonder if it's possible to manually point to another currency rate source, so these requests are solved.

I'm aware this was a problem on 7.6; maybe being able to select different sources would help avoid any kind of similar issue on the future.

Hi there,
Thanks for the suggestion.
We've always used the ECB currency feed for exchange rates: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml
Is there an alternative feed you'd like to use instead?

I think allowing admins to choose different currency rate sources would be a useful improvement, just like using a prompt generator for ChatGPT..Related Links: https://aipromptgenerator.app/es

I think allowing admins to choose or configure different currency rate sources would be a useful improvement for WHMCS. Exchange rates can vary in availability and accuracy across currencies, so having more flexibility could help businesses avoid manual updates and keep billing more reliable. I’ve also been exploring platforms like <a href="https://e999-game.com.pk/xd777-game/ where keeping information and transactions clear is equally important.

I agree that having more flexibility with currency rate sources would make WHMCS easier to manage, especially for businesses working with currencies that are not handled reliably by the default source. Giving administrators the option to choose or configure an alternative rate provider could also help prevent similar issues in the future. I was recently looking into <a href="https://e999-game.com.pk/xd777-game/">XD777" Game</a> and found that checking the correct currency and payment details is important when dealing with online platforms.

Using a stable currency source helps me price consulting accurately on my https://ll11facaderepairscontractornyc.com/ site.

This is actually a very reasonable feature request, especially for businesses dealing with unsupported currencies https://www.ezcardinfo.com.co

I have been using https://www.hailuo3.app for AI video generation tasks and it works surprisingly well. Thought this might be useful for others here too.

Nice idea! By the way, I've been using https://www.trellis2.art for AI 3D models and it works great.

Great discussion! I recently found Lyria3 at https://lyria-3.co which handles AI workflows efficiently. Worth checking out.

Great feature request - currency flexibility is important for global SaaS. By the way, for creative AI tools, https://meigenai.io offers a great free prompt gallery for image generation. Worth checking out.

Great point about WHMCS's currency rate source! The struggle with ARS and other specific currencies is clearly a pain point. I particularly like the suggestion of manually pointing to an alternative source; it seems like a practical solution to avoid these conversion headaches in the future. Hope WHMCS considers this! https://bpdtest.org/

Whilst it is not possible for WHMCS to obtain the rates for ARS, using the hook https://developers.whmcs.com/hooks-reference/everything-else/#fetchcurrencyexchangerates, it is possible for you to obtain the exchange rate yourself and apply it to your WHMCS.

Hi! Copying the format seen on https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml, and using the data provided by https://www.floatrates.com/daily/usd.xml, I made this for anyone that uses USD as main currency:

https://inner.grupocloudspace.com/exchange_rates/usd.xml

So, if I where to have the possibility to replace the URL you are using with my own, I could automate the update of currencies I use that yours does not support (UYU, COP and, most importantly, ARS).
