texte = You can also use a company called worldpay. I started working with them to do all the transactions in the currency the user has for their country. I had to build a large DB to house all the different prices for each country, the currency, names, code and country codes. A bit of extra work, but well worth it. This way we always change the same amount for each currency and can have worldpay move the cash to different internation accounts to keep from having to deal with a ton of currency exchanges which gets expensive. Especially when dealing with refunds.
