Key: ConversionRate

Syntax

<add key="ConversionRate" value="[FLOAT]"/>

[FLOAT]: Positive value that may include decimal points.

Purpose

The conversion rate specifies how many points the user can get for 1 item of the default currency. The default currency is set on the currency table in the database and should never be changed for a site. Thus, if the default currency is USD and the conversion rate is “10” then 1 USD will be equal to 10 points. The conversion rate is extremely important since you cannot specify the cost of any product in a currency. The cash price of any product is defined by its cost in points divided by the conversion rate. So if you state a product to cost 1000 points then the cash price using the above conversion rate example would be 100 USD. Once you have decided on a conversion rate between points and the default currency it should never again be changed. Should you choose to change it, be aware that existing orders may become unclean.
