Convert currency with a custom event
Tealeaf provides an $S function to get a currency conversion rate between a base (baseCurrency) and target currency (targetCurrency).
As an international company, you get payments from customers all over the world. However, you have to be able to see what those payments mean to your own currency. You can create this custom event to take any source currency and convert it to the target currency that you want to see it in for reporting purposes.
Note: This custom event assumes that you are already capturing the target currency in your code. For example, you live in China and your site is already capturing all payments made in yuan. And now you want to convert all the payments from the United States dollar.
$S.getCurrencyRate(String baseCurrency, String targetCurrency)
- param
baseCurrency- the base currency code, for example USD. - param
targetCurrency- the target currency code, for example CNY. - return: the function returns double value as the exchange rate of 1
baseCurrencytoN targetCurrency, for example 1 USD = 7 CNY. - In this example,
getCurrencyRate("USD","CNY")=7. If there is any invalid code, it will return0, because there is an error. Otherwise, all other conversions will be greater than zero.
To create a custom event to convert currency:
- Use the event that already captures the order value in Yen. We'll call this
order_valuewith the event nameE_ORDER_VALUE_1595573059448. - Define a hit attribute event to capture the source currency in which the payment is made. For this example, we'll call this
source_currencywith the nameP_SOURCE_CURRENCY_1590662966584. - Define a third event that has
order_valueandsource_currencyas triggers that is calledorder_value_converted, with the nameE_ORDER_VALUE_CONVERTED_1595570208827. - In the advanced mode of the
order_value_convertedevent, write the code to convert the source currency to the target currency "USD", as in the example below.
In the code example:
target_currencydefined USD as the target currency to convert to;source_currencyis the original currency code captured in the user session;rateis the conversion rate between source currency and target currency;
{
if ($F.getLastHitNumber("E_ORDER_VALUE_1595573059448") == $H.HitNumber && $P["P_SOURCE_CURRENCY_1590662966584"].patternFound()){
var target_currency="USD";
var source_currency=$P["P_SOURCE_CURRENCY_1590662966584"].firstValue();
var rate=$S.getCurrencyRate(source_currency, target_currency);
var order_value_converted=$F.getFirstEventFirstNumericValue("E_ORDER_VALUE_1595573059448") * rate;
$F.setFacts("E_ORDER_VALUE_CONVERTED_1595570208827",order_value_converted); }
}
