The conversion feature is available to call within templates or codes using either currencyr_exchange() or the_currencyr_exchange(). Both functions share the same arguments, the diferrent is the_currencyr_exchange() is only echoes the result automatically.

• amount – The number that you wish to convert.
• to – The currency code.

The code above is similar to:

<?php echo currencyr_exchange( array( 'amount' => 99.99, 'to' => 'cad' ) ); ?> 

Also similar to:

<?php echo currencyr_exchange( 99.99, 'cad' ); ?>
