bulkCurrencyConversion

Converts multiple amounts in a single method call.

Description

This method allows you to complete a large batch of currency conversions all at once without having to use the currencyConversion method for each conversion.

Currently this method supports bulk conversions from a single currency to another single currency and not several currencies simultaneously. (ie: if you want to convert fifty amounts from USD [US dollars] to CAD [Canadian dollars] and twenty amounts from USD to EUR [Euros] you would need to run two separate bulkCurrencyConversion method calls.)

To determine if a currency is supported by a merchant account, use either the getSupportedCurrencies or the getAccountDetails method.

Each currency type is assigned a three digit numeric code (ie: USD=840, Japanese yen=392). You must enter the three digit code for both the original currency and the converted currency in a conversion. The Currency Code list provides all of the three digit codes and their corresponding currencies for international currency conversion.

If you would like to add support for multi-currency transactions to a merchant account please contact the merchant's service provider or customer service.
