Integrate our widgets for your e-commerce website

This set of widgets will provide inline currency conversions to your e-commerce websites for helping your customers around the world to understand your prices in their local currencies, or even in crypto currencies.

Our widgets will work on HTML entities, no Javascript programming is required.

For example, you got an e-commerce website selling T-shirts displaying a list of products like:

which is represented by the HTML code:

    <ul>
      <li>Red T-shirt UGX 45</li>
      <li>Blue T-shirt UGX 123</li>
    </ul>
    

First, we will be including a "script" tag to boot the widgets and we will configure the base currency of our e-commerce website inside of an empty HTML tag like in the next HTML code snippet:

    <script src='https://currencyexchange.lucentinian.com/tools.js' async>
    </script>
    <div
      class="lucentinian-currencyexchange-cfg"
      data-base="UGX"
      data-target="KES"
      data-decimals="2"
    ></div>
  

Additionally you can set an initial target currency (later its value will be overrided by the change target currency widget) and fix the number of decimals you want to be displayed like in the previous example.

Please notice the configuration is mandatory, otherwise the widgets won't start.

Now we will be bounding the prices with an HTML entity like "span", assign them the class "lucentinian-currencyexchange", and add the data attribute "data-amount" with the original price in the configured base currency like in the next HTML code nippet:

    <ul>
      <li>Red T-shirt <span
        class='lucentinian-currencyexchange'
        data-amount='45'>UGX 45</span>
      </li>
      <li>Blue T-shirt <span
        class='lucentinian-currencyexchange'
        data-amount='123'>UGX 123</span>
      </li>
    </ul>
  

After the changes, the list is now displayed as:

As it was mentioned above, there is a widget that can be included to allow your customer to change the target currency you may have fix at the beginning and use other by including an empty HTML tag with the class "lucentinian-currencyexchange-cfg" as in the next HTML code snippet:

    <div>
      Change currency
      <span class='lucentinian-currencyexchange-select-currency'>
      </span>
    </div>
    

which will be displayed as:

Please notice that the changes of your customer will have priority over the initial target currency configuration, and the changes will be stored in the web browser.

Finally, but not least, prices can be fixed for specific currencies instead of using the converted value. In order to archive this, to the HTML entity that are bounding the price, add the data attribute "data-CURRENCY_CODE-amount" with the fix value. From the example above, a HTML code snippet will look like:

    <div>Red T-shirt <span
      class='lucentinian-currencyexchange'
      data-amount='45'
      data-KES-amount='123'>UGX 45</span>
    </div>
    

which will be displayed with "KES 123" if the user has selected the currency KES in the change currency widget of above:
