Have you thought about how important it is for online stores to show prices in different currencies? Imagine someone in Japan visiting your online shop from the U.S. If they can’t see prices in their local currency, they might get confused and not buy anything. This is where we use an exchange rate API. We integrate a reliable exchange rate API into our apps to make reliable currency conversions.
This blog will explain why real-time currency conversion matters in global online shopping. It will show you how to use the Fixer API to add this feature to your store. We’ll talk about the challenges of dealing with multiple currencies and why letting customers pay in their own currency is so helpful.
We’ll also introduce the Fixer API, which gives you the latest exchange rates for over 170 currencies. You’ll learn how it works and why it’s a good choice for adding real-time currency conversion to your online store.
Follow along as we explore how real-time currency conversion can make a big difference in your online business.

What Is the Importance of Real-time Currency Conversion in Global Businesses?
Real-time currency conversion matters in global online shopping because it shows prices in the customer’s local currency. This makes it easier for them to understand the cost. This helps businesses stay competitive and avoid overcharging or undercharging.
Dealing with multiple currencies can be tough for businesses. They need to monitor exchange rates, update prices, and manage currency conversion fees. It’s also important for businesses to support multiple currencies in their payment systems.
Letting customers pay in their currency is helpful because it reduces abandoned carts and confusion about prices. Customers don’t need to calculate exchange rates or pay extra fees for currency conversion, making the shopping process simpler and more transparent.
How Do You Integrate Fixer API Into an E-commerce Platform?
Here are the steps to integrate Fixer API into an E-commerce platform.
Setting Up Environment
First, ensure that you have installed Visual Studio Code on your computer.
Open the command prompt and create a directory using the following command:
|
1 |
mkdir ecom |
Open the directory in the Visual Studio Code using the following commands:
|
1 2 3 |
cd ecom code . |
When the directory opens in the Visual Studio Code, create a new file and name it “index.html”. You will see it like the example given below:
Getting the API Key.
Now, the next step is to get the API key from the Fixer website.
Create an account on the Fixer website.
Verify and login to your account.
Get your API key from the dashboard.
Once you get the API Key, the next step is to build your sample application.
Building the Application
Inside your index.html file, write the below code step-by-step:

The HTML code defines a simple e-commerce app with a login form and a product listing. It also includes a cart section to display selected items and their quantities.
Login Form
It consists of a username input field, a password input field, and a login button. When the user clicks the login button, the login() function is called to validate the username and password.
Product Listing
Three products are listed, each with an image, name, price, and an “Add to Cart” button. Clicking the “Add to Cart” button calls the addToCart() function to add the item to the cart.
Cart Section
It displays the items added to the cart. Each item shows the product name, price, quantity, and total price. The total number of items in the cart and the total cart value are also displayed.

- Add to Cart Function (addToCart(product, price)) Adds the selected product to the cart. If the product is already in the cart, it increases the quantity; otherwise, it adds a new item to the cart.
- Update Cart Function (updateCart()) Updates the cart UI to display the added items, including the product name, price, quantity, and total price.
- Update Prices Function (updatePrices()) Updates the prices of products based on the selected currency. It fetches the exchange rates from a third-party API and calculates the new prices.
- Update Cart Total Function (updateCartTotal()) Calculates the total cart value based on the selected currency and updates the total displayed in the cart.
