Exchange rates for e-commerce
Show every shopper prices in their own currency and settle in yours — with rates that refresh hourly.
Example
A shopper in Tokyo lands on your USD-priced store. Before rendering the product grid you fetch the USD→JPY rate once, cache it for a few minutes, and display every price in yen — while still charging in USD at checkout.
# Price a 49.00 USD product in the shopper's currency
curl "https://rate-api.com/api/v1/YOUR_KEY/convert?from=USD&to=JPY&amount=49"Endpoints:
/latest
/convert
Why Rate-API
- Localize checkout prices with one /latest or /convert call.
- Cache rates for minutes to stay well within your plan quota.
- Cross-rates work for any pair (e.g. GBP→JPY), not just USD.
