Currencies & Plugins

[Rodolfo Martinez]

Could Catarse be modified (or does it support plugins) so that two currencies could be used simultaneously?

Thanks

I'm also interested in.

Me too.

Interested to share the cost of development of this feaure ?

[Mariano Ruani]

Yes I could be interested.

- Should be multicurrency (not just two currency)
- More than one payment gateway (actually Catarse works with MOIP and Paypal, we have Mercado Pago and Paypal)

Ok Mariano.

- How do you imagine the process of this feature ? The project owner will add the reward amount in each currency ? 

- For the payment gateway, I propose Paypal. After, each website owner could ask a custom payment gateway.

Answering your question. I think project owner should set the reward in his local currency then you need an axchange rate to convert to different currencies.

If I had to describe the functionality I'd start defining it like this:

- As Platform owner in order to expand to different countries I need the platform to accept diferent currencies.

- As a project owner I want to receive payments from my country or abroad in my local currency. 

- As a backer I want to see all the projects in "my" local currency (no necesseraly the same as the project).

- As a backer I want to donate in my currency (or in USD for international transactions)
