Paypal api – Alternatives for multi currency web application

I want to develop my own web application on Vue.js and Firebase where uses can buy products or services using a payment API (paypal or stripe).

I would like to show the prices of these products in local currency of each user, but I dont figure out how to approach the problem. Perhaps using a currency conversion external API?

Please if anybody has faced this problem once I would like to know what alternatives (libraries, api, code samples…) exist to solve this on Vue.js and Firebase.

    You will need to find the common exchange rates for the currency on the client. Re-calculating the prices in your database is inefficient. instead, you store the current trading value from a source and multiply that from your base value.

    USD to RUPE is 1203% – simply multiplying the value by 1203will render it as the correct price

    There are several sources that offer exchange rates, this could be an npm package like the following: https://www.npmjs.com/package/currency-converter

    You’ll need a currency conversion package. There are multiple paid options provided by companies and there are some free tools. The link below is for a free currency conversion tool. Use this tool with the rate caching option to get real time exchange rates or to directly convert any amount from one currency to another.
