What's the currency?

[ids]

I need to push order data to a 3rd party site. The site is international. Mainly USD and CAD. Those are the data values I need to push, but there may be others. I need to know the value on the invoice page and maybe Order Workflows in the future. How or where is this data available per session?

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question. If you just need to push out the 3-letter code indicating the currency, you may be able to find it in the OrderPayment record for the order. It depends on whether the payment module stored it there.

If you need to do some math, my Currency Magic module can help. It downloads exchange-rate data from a public server, and it can provide the numbers as mvt: variables on page templates. It also saves each order's currency in a custom order field. You can drop me a line if this seems useful.

Appears the store is already handling any of the math for exchange rate, etc. My module needs a reliable place to pull the currency version, like USD, or CAD, etc.

Turns out there is a variable l.settings:currency that is populated with this info. I don't know where it's coming from. That means I can't rely on this.
Any API function I've found having to with currency is concerned with formatting.

The possibility of the Payment records is definitely something I can look into.

Thanks,

There is a 'currency' field in Order Payments...perhaps its stored there. then if so (as you know) you can scan the LSK and see if there a function that reports it. but in the store i looked, not being used so who knows. have you tried the ugly method of scanning the LSK for 'currency'

I haven't done that yet except for the "currency" formatting module. I didn't consider the payment field possibility until Kent mentioned it.
Fortunately, I looked at the docs again and the 3rd party doesn't appear to require the currency field. It's already default in the module as USD so It doesn't appear to be a critical path item for now.
