Is your site up and running?  Just wondering because I have not seen your site yet. 

Anyway, here is what I found and hope it is what your looking for.




How do I use my currency instead of US Dollars?

There are two parts to configuring your currency settings. The first is whether you want to accept more than one currency and the second is adding the new currency.

Begin by opening your Admin. Point your cursor at Configuration in the top menu, choose My Store from the drop down. If you are running your shop in a language that is not English and are going to use your native currency, click on the line that says "Switch To Default Language Currency" and change the value to true. If you are going to run the cart in English, but not use US Dollars, make sure that the "Switch To Default Language Currency" is set to false.

To add a new currency, point your cursor at Localization on the menu bar, choose Currencies from the drop down. On the page that comes up click the new currency button. Fill in the information appropriate for your currency and check the box if it is to be the default for your shop. Click the insert button, then after the page refreshes, click the update currencies button.

thank you for your reply, i have set it and make it run, but here still a problem, you know i must give each product a price.  i click  catalog::catalog/products,then edit the product

Tax Class:  --none--
Products Price (Net):  (i change the price here)
Products Price (Gross):

but i want to use US dollar to input my price. (but you know my verison is chinese), but when i input the price in the price field, the price displayed in the shop will be x7.3(rate of china RMB to US dollar),i want to set that i can input directly the price in USD in that field. not in chinese RMB~ so that i needn't to calculate the rate.

 thank you~~

I was wondering that also how the Zencart keep-up with the changing money market with out going to a outside moneymarket web site. I wonder if there is some way to set the calculations to keep up wit the changing money market.
