Currency Converter
The Currency Converter offers Inntopia users a way to manually change the currency exchange rates for items sold in the Inntopia CRS and their online sales channels. This feature can be useful if you need to set a customized exchange rate for a particular date range.
- Manually set currency exchange rates override the system default OANDA exchange rates.
- If items are added to an itinerary, the exchange rate that applies is the rate valid on the date the item was added.
