    As the Canadian dollar has changed, I'm suggesting that if an exact amount is going to be listed; to use an API instead of a static number that can be found here. And although it may be a one cent difference, that number can add up to even be tens of difference in dollars. Please feel free to leave feedback, and if accepted, any APIs that can be used for the conversion rate. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing if this would be helpful to the new shop.

    Hi there,
    this is managed by buycraft and we do not have any play in it :(

    I doubt this would even solve the issue, since the final say on the exchange rate is with paypal, the credit card company or the bank. I doubt these are using the same exchange rates at the same time all the time.

    Well thank you for replying slind :) and I will mark this solved if that is the issue.

    Edit: so it uses the euro->CAD conversion instead of the number on the website?

    I don't know how it works, to be honest. I suppose they store the conversion rates internally and update them once a day.
