Hello, I want to keep prices updated depending on dolar price.
My Store would have prices on COP, but that prices can change depending on USD price.
I want to be able to update some items prices by just adding the new price of dolar. For example, 1 USD = 2556 COP

28,149 PointsSo on the backend you want to enter the price as USD and have it displayed as COP on the user side? You could do just simple math with PHP in your template view right before you put the price out?

3,608 PointsI would like to have a single input for dolar cost and spread it to pre-ordered items to have those prices updated on COP currency.
