Checking the exchange rates against a product:

Now let us have a look at a product from the Vendors Frontend Store Showing the price of the live connected product. eg Organic Goji Berries, €100.

The same products on the Vendor Portal on Marketcube display the Exchange rate, the vendor current price, and default Operator marketplace currency. eg. Exchange rate $1 = €3.

This same product on the Operator Portal. This will show as default price currency only.

Now let's see the same product on the Operator Shopify Admin side Showing the price in $.

The last thing to check is the Operator Live Store showing the product price in $.

The product should present an exchanged currency rate in all the steps above and on the front end store.
