Don't Manually Calculate Foreign Exchange Rates Ever Again
Foreign exchange rate calculation is one of the necessary evils of doing business internationally. Studies have shown localizing currencies can increase sales by 30% on eCommerce sites. Even if you only charge customers (or are paying global vendors) in your native currency, at some point, you will find yourself calculating foreign exchange rates.
Although there are free foreign exchange rate services available on the web, it quickly becomes cumbersome to manually calculate rates. Also, many of the free services have terms and conditions that disallow commercial usage.
Finally, exchange rates are dynamic; changing by the hour so a real-time solution integrated into your work flow becomes critical. For example, the EUR to USD has fluctuated by almost 12% in the last 6 months!
There is an easier way. Foreign exchange rate APIs, like StrikeIron's Foreign Exchange Rate Web Service can be integrated into any application, are continuously updated, and can be used for commercial services.
