Hello Magento Friends,
In this blog, we will learn about How to Add Custom Currency to Magento 2.
Magento 2 is a powerful e-commerce platform that provides a plethora of features for managing online stores. One such feature is the ability to handle multiple currencies, which is crucial for businesses operating in international markets. Merchants can also add a currency switcher in store frontend to improve user’s shopping experience.
While Magento 2 supports a variety of currencies out of the box, there may be instances where you need to add a custom currency that isn’t natively supported. This could be for a loyalty program, a custom reward system, or even a unique virtual currency.
This guide will walk you through the steps to add a custom currency to your Magento 2 store.
Steps to Add Custom Currency to Magento 2:
Step 1: Create a registration.php file at the following path.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/registration.php
Now, add the below given code
<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
'Vendor_Extension',
__DIR__
);
require_once(__DIR__ . '/Override/Currencybundle.php');
Step 2: Create Currencybundle.php file at the below path.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/Override/Currencybundle.php
Then add the code as follows
<?php
namespace Magento\Framework\Locale\Bundle;
class Currencybundle extends DataBundle
{
/**
* @var string
*/
protected $path = 'ICUDATA-curr';
/**
* @var string
*/
public function toArray($bundle)
{
$aux = [];
foreach ($bundle as $k => $v) {
$aux[$k] = is_object($v) ? $this->toArray($v) : $v;
}
return $aux;
}
/**
* Method to get currency bundle
*
* @param string $locale
* @return array
*/
public function get($locale)
{
$bundle = parent::get($locale);
$bundleAsArray = $this->toArray($bundle);
$bundleAsArray['Currencies']['BTC'] = [
'BTC',
'Bitcoin',
];
$bundleAsArray['CurrencyPlurals']['BTC'] = [
'one' => 'Bitcoin',
'other' => 'Bitcoin',
];
return $bundleAsArray;
}
}
Step 3: Create di.xml file at the below-mentioned file path.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/etc/di.xml
After that add the following piece of code
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<type name="Magento\Framework\Locale\Config">
<plugin name="crypto_locale" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Localeconfig" sortOrder="1" />
</type>
<type name="Magento\Framework\App\Config">
<plugin name="crypto_config" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Configplugin" sortOrder="1" />
</type>
<type name="Magento\Framework\Pricing\Render\Amount">
<plugin name="crypto_framework_pricing_render_amount" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Framework\Pricing\Render\Amount" />
</type>
<type name="Magento\Directory\Model\Pricecurrency">
<plugin name="crypto_directory_model_pricecurrency" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Directory\Model\Pricecurrency" />
</type>
<type name="Magento\Framework\Locale\Format">
<plugin name="crypto_framework_locale_format" type="Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Framework\Locale\Format" />
</type>
</config>
Step 4: Create Localeconfig.php file at the below-given file path.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/Plugin/Localeconfig.php
Now, include the following code snippet
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin;
class Localeconfig
{
/**
* After get allowed currencies
*
* @param \Magento\Framework\Locale\Config $config
* @param array $currencies
* @return array
*/
public function afterGetAllowedCurrencies(\Magento\Framework\Locale\Config $config, $currencies)
{
return array_merge($currencies, ['BTC']);
}
}
Step 5: Create Configplugin.php file at the path given below.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/Plugin/Configplugin.php
Then after, add the below code
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin;
class Configplugin
{
/**
* After get currency config value
*
* @param \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $subject
* @param string $result
* @param string $path
* @param string $scope
* @param string $scopeCode
* @return string
*/
public function afterGetValue(\Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $subject,
$result,
$path = null,
$scope = \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface::SCOPE_TYPE_DEFAULT,
$scopeCode = null
)
{
if ($path === 'system/currency/installed') {
return $result . ',' . 'BTC';
}
return $result;
}
}
Step 6: Create Amount.php file at the following path.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/Plugin/Framework/Pricing/Render/Amount.php
Now, include the following code
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Framework\Pricing\Render;
use Magento\Framework\Pricing\PriceCurrencyInterface;
class Amount
{
public function beforeFormatCurrency(
$subject,
$amount,
$includeContainer = true,
$precision = PriceCurrencyInterface::DEFAULT_PRECISION
) {
return [$amount, $includeContainer, 4];
}
}
Step 7: Create Pricecurrency.php file at the below-mentioned path.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/Plugin/Directory/Model/Pricecurrency.php
And then add the code as given below
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Directory\Model;
class Pricecurrency
{
public function beforeConvertAndRound(
$subject,
$amount,
$scope = null,
$currency = null,
$precision = \Magento\Directory\Model\PriceCurrency::DEFAULT_PRECISION
) {
return [$amount, $scope, $currency, 4];
}
public function beforeFormat(
$subject,
$amount,
$includeContainer = true,
$precision = \Magento\Directory\Model\PriceCurrency::DEFAULT_PRECISION,
$scope = null,
$currency = null
) {
return [$amount, $includeContainer, 4, $scope, $currency];
}
}
Step 8: Create Format.php file at the path given below.
/app/code/Vendor/Extension/Plugin/Framework/Locale/Format.php
And add the code as follows
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Plugin\Framework\Locale;
class Format
{
public function afterGetPriceFormat($subject, $result) {
$result['precision'] = 4;
$result['requiredPrecision'] = 4;
return $result;
}
}
