AutoConvert Select – Become a supporter

~ Adi

Premium supporter membership is now available in AutoConvert Select.

Becoming a supporter helps fund continued maintenance and development of the extension. It also helps me determine if there is a genuine value being delivered by AutoConvert, and direct focus on requests from supporting users.

There are three levels of supporter memberships available:

    1. Supporter ($0.99 / £0.79 / €0.89 / ₹ 60 – a month)
    2. Promoter ($4.99 / £3.49 / €3.99 / ₹ 299 – a month)
    3. Patron ($14.99 / £9.99 / €10.99 / ₹ 914 – a month)

Please pick a supporter level that reflects both your ability to pay, and how useful you find AutoConvert.

Features exclusive for premium supporters:

  1. Currency conversion,
    • Currency rates are also fetched 4x more frequently for premium supporters than trial users
  2. Custom target time zones (coming later), and
  3. Alternate target currency and time zones in extension window

All premium features are available to all premium supporters, irrespective of premium level chosen.

Features available to all users:

  1. Measurement unit conversion, and
  2. Time zone conversion to detected current time zone,
  3. Unlimited unit and time zone conversion from extension window

Free Trial

A free 5-day guest trial enables all premium features. The guest trial period starts when currency conversion is first enabled1.

A 30-day free trial period starts the first time you sign up for a premium supporter membership. This enables all premium features, including more frequent currency rates fetch. First payment is only charged at the end of this 30-day free trial period2.

autoConvert Select – Reading common currency symbols based on website domain

~ Adi

Some common currency symbols are used by more than one currency. The dollar sign ($) is the most common example – used by the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, and more.

autoConvert will convert values with these common currency symbols based on domain of the website where the value is selected. Domain matching is only used for currency symbols, and not for the three character currency codes.

An example:

‘AUD 20‘ will always be read as Australian Dollars irrespective of the website,
‘$ 20‘ will only be read as Australian Dollars on websites ending in ‘.au‘. Elsewhere it will be read as US Dollars.

The currency symbols covered by domain-matching are:

  1. ‘$‘
    • US Dollar (default)
    • Canadian Dollar (.ca)
    • Australian Dollar (.au)
    • New Zealand Dollar (.nz)
    • Colombian Peso (.co)
    • Argentinian Peso (.ar)
    • Chilean Peso (.cl)
    • Dominican Peso (.do)
    • Jamaican Dollar (.jm)
    • Brazilian Real (.br)
  2. ‘£‘
    • British Pound (default)
    • Egyptian Pound (.eg)
  3. ‘¥‘
    • Japanese Yen (default)
    • Chinese Renminbi Yuan (.cn)
  4. ‘kr‘
    • Swedish Krona (default)
    • Norwegian Krone (.no)
    • Danish Krone (.dk, .fo)
    • Icelandic Krone (.is)
  5. ‘Rs‘
    • Sri Lankan Rupee (default)
    • Pakistani Rupee (.pk)

The top-level-domain (TLD) next to each currency above indicates which websites will use that currency for the relevant symbol. When the domain does not match that TLD, the default currency will be used.

That’s all, folks!
