CLP - Chilean Peso Minor Amount

[neilhosey]

Hi,

For CLP amounts, it doesn't add on 2 zero's for the minor amount. Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

Thanks
Neil

Hi, Neil

I am not sure what you mean by "add 2 zeroes".
However, as far as I know, CLP does not have any significant decimals so in the case of a Money instance, both major and minor amounts will be integral (regardless of the decimal part of its amount).
That is indeed the desired behavior.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks for using NMoneys

Hi,

Thanks for getting back so quick!

I see now, it turns out a payment gateway I am integrating to uses 2 sig decimals for CLP which is annoying!

Is there an easy way to override this behaviour to replace the old CLP datA?

i want to set the SignificantDecimalDigits to 2 for CLP , without having to rebuild.

Unfortunately, changing currency information without rebuilding is not possible at the moment. Currency information is embedded in the assembly, so changing such information would mean rebuilding the solution (which is pretty easy, though).
But then you'd be left with a custom build.

If what the payment gateway needs is a number, you should be able to send the integral amount without problems.
I what the payment gateway needs is the amount as a string you can use a custom NumberFormatInfo with 2 decimals and pass it to the .ToString(IFormatProvider) overload as you can see in https://github.com/dgg/nmoneys/wiki/DeveloperQuickStart#formatting
