    'multicurrency',
)

Add currencies list and Exchange model to settings

MULTICURRENCY_CURRENCIES = ['UAH', 'EUR', 'USD']
MULTICURRENCY_EXCHANGER = 'shop.models.ExchangeRate'

Creating models

Create Exchange model

Exchange model must contains staticmethod "get_exchange_rate", which must return exchange rate for two input currencies

from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import gettext, gettext_lazy as _
from multicurrency.models import CURRENCIES


class ExchangeRate(models.Model):
    currency_from = models.CharField(_('Currency'),
                                    max_length=3,
                                    choices=CURRENCIES,
                                    db_index=True,
                                    null=False)
    currency_to = models.CharField(_('Currency'),
                                    max_length=3,
                                    choices=CURRENCIES,
                                    db_index=True,
                                    null=False)
    exchange_rate = models.FloatField(_('Exchange rate'),
                                    null=False)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(_('Created at'),
                                    blank=True,
                                    null=True,
                                    auto_now_add=True)

    @staticmethod
    def get_exchange_rate(currency_from:str, currency_to:str):
        try:
            return ExchangeRate.objects.filter(
                currency_from=currency_from.lower(),
                currency_to=currency_to.lower()
            ).latest('created_at').exchange_rate
        except ExchangeRate.DoesNotExist:
            return None

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        return f"{self.get_currency_from_display()} -> " + \
               f"{self.get_currency_to_display()} {self.exchange_rate}"

Create Price model

from django.db import models

from multicurrency.fields import MultiCurrencyPriceField
from multicurrency.models import MulticurrencyPriceModelMixin

class Product(MulticurrencyPriceModelMixin):
    title = models.CharField()
    price = MultiCurrencyPriceField(verbose_name="Product price")

MultiCurrencyPriceField accept as kwargs:

• verbose_name
• null
• blank

Accessing fields

MultiCurrencyPriceField has 3 methods to access price fields:

• PriceModel.create_<price_field_title>(price_field_title, currency, amount)
• PriceModel.update_<price_field_title>(price_field_title, currency, amount)
• PriceModel.delete_<price_field_title>(price_field_title)

>>> from shop.models import Product
>>> product = Product.objects.create(title='Jeans')
>>> product.create_price('price','USD',10)
<ProductPrice: EUR(11.7) USD(10)>
>>> product.update_price('price','USD',20)
<ProductPrice: EUR(23.4) USD(20)>
>>> product.delete_price('price')
None
