Currency rates - Dotable

Suggest the Reseller account info page have the US$ rates updated once to reflect today's exchange rate. You may not be able to follow the changes regularly, but the difference between $34 in 2006 and $41 today could be updated once.

I believe xe.com has an API that makes it pretty easy to have the up-to-date rates all the time. If you do that, I would cache the rates periodically and not depend on another website for content in real-time.

Yes good idea. I'll make the currency changes. There is a slight possibility that we might look to bill in US$, in the future.

I think billing in one currency would make life a tiny bit easier for clients since US$ has generally been the standard currency used online.

We do bill in one currency now, and that is AUS$, but we're considering changing that to US$. It's something we're considering.

maybe euro instead of dollars ?

No, it would be US$ if we made a currency change, as most Dotable clients come from America and the US$ is still predominantly the internet currency.
