Currency exchange rates can be set manually by you in Blesta, or automatically via a third-party exchange rate processor. The exchange rates are used in currency amount conversions throughout the system
Processors
Processor Types
Processors that are Web Scrapers indicate that an HTML page is parsed to determine the exchange rate. This is less reliable than if the processor provided an API instead since a change to the web page by the processor can cause the web scraper to fail to parse exchange rates altogether.
Be sure to consult the exchange rate processor for supported currencies, rate limits, and fees.
