FR: saved currency preference

[cole007]

Description

For sites offering multiple currencies it would be good to specify a preferred currency to be applied to any future transactions/carts on a per user/account basis.

Did look to see if could tap into User::EVENT_AFTER_LOGIN event so could update any carts based on a stored value (eg in a custom field associated with the user) but cannot seem to modify the currency of the cart object via a plugin (eg via $order->setPaymentCurrency( $curr ); where $curr is the ISO value for the currency.

For example:

Event::on(
  User::class, 
  User::EVENT_AFTER_LOGIN, 
  function (Event $e) {
    $order = Commerce::getInstance()->getCarts()->getCart(true);
    $order->setPaymentCurrency( $curr );
  }

Hi @cole007

You will need to make sure you are saving the cart/order after making the change Craft::$app->getElements()->saveElement($order);.

Thanks

Thanks - that makes complete sense. Please do keep this open as a FR as I think account-based currency preferences would be a useful feature.
