Create new Currency Exchange Rate

Changed on

Define a new exchange rate to be used when custom metered usage is reported to your marketplace by a Developer in a currency that isn't supported by your marketplace. This enables you to invoice your customers in your marketplace currency, even though a Developer's external price list for metered usage charges (like Amazon Web Services) might be in a different currency.

A currency pair is the quotation and pricing structure of the currencies traded in a forex market. A Currency Pair is represented as XXX/YYY where XXX is the Base currency and YYY is the Counter currency.

In AppDirect the Base currency is an external currency and the Counter currency is a supported currency in your marketplace.

When an exchange rate is provided with a Currency Pair, it represents how much of the Counter currency is required to purchase 1 unit of the Base currency. EUR/USD=1.18; EUR is the Base currency and USD is the counter currency. 1 EUR is equal to 1.18 USD. In order to buy 1 EUR, the buyer must pay 1.18 USD.
