Free currency converters for your website

When you’re operating an online shop, it pays, literally and figuratively, to have a currency converter installed on your site. [ FX Daily Commentary ]

It does not matter whether your business caters only to local customers or to overseas market, these days a converter is a must. Consider especially that world currencies are volatile, and an information page with currency equivalents are important tools in the purchasing journey of your customers. Currency converters help provide answer price questions at that moment in time when your customers are ready to buy.

About 10 years ago when my company started emanila.com, there were only a handful of websites providing free currency converter service. One of them is XE.net which up to now, we are using in our Business section. Like other currency converter services, XE rates are fed real-time. Design-wise, we did not have any issue at all. Once installed, we never touched it. XE automatically updates it using its live feed!

My other favourite online FX conversion service provider is Ozforex. I subscribed to its email service about three years and since then have received their daily (and sometimes twice a day) news and analysis on world currency market. Ozforex also provides an easy-to-install user interface. [ FX Daily Commentary ]
