Currency API

CurrencyAPI Module for Drupal

Real-Time Exchange Rates with Custom Markup Capabilities

The CurrencyAPI module seamlessly integrates Drupal with currencyapi.com, providing real-time currency exchange rate data with a unique business advantage: the ability to expose custom exchange rate markups to customers (e.g., for FX fees or profit margins). Ideal for financial services, e-commerce, and multi-currency platforms.

Key Features

• Earnings via Dynamic Exchange Rate Tables with Custom Markup
• Apply fixed fees, percentage-based markups, or blended rates to buy/sell prices.
• Display customer-facing rate tables with your adjusted values (via Views, blocks, or templates).
• Enterprise-Grade API Integration
• Fetch real-time or historical rates via currencyapi.com’s REST API (JSON).
• Supports 150+ currencies with optional crypto/fiat pairs.
• Automated & Efficient
• Scheduled rate updates (cron-driven) with configurable intervals.
• Smart caching to reduce API calls and ensure performance.
• Flexible Display Options
• Embed rates anywhere: product pages, checkout flows, or financial dashboards.
• Customize formatting (decimals, rounding) and currency groupings.
• No Dependencies
• Lightweight standalone module, though compatible with Commerce modules.

Use Cases
