Hello there, Magento fans!

Are you ready for the final summer updates from Magefan about the new module release, dozens of new features and improvements?

Then let’s go!

When you install some new extension package in Magento 2 via the composer you can get an error:

[InvalidArgumentException] 
Package vendor/module-name exists in composer repo (https://repo.packagist.org) and composer repo (https://repo.magento.com) which has a higher repository priority. The packages with higher priority do not match your constraint and are therefore not installable. See https://getcomposer.org/repoprio for details and assistance.

This error message is self-explaining and contains a link to the composer documentation.

The problem is that a module you try to install has an old version in the Magento composer repository and a new version in the free public packagist.org repository. However, the Magento repository has a higher priority and that is why composer cannot install the latest version and throws this error.

What you need to do to solve the issue is to:

Magento displays floating prices when you configure multi-currency for different countries or set up discounts. In both cases, prices are displayed with decimals which is not very appealing.

So, to make prices more "clean" and provide a better shopping experience you should round off prices in Magento 2.

Usually, you'll have to do this programmatically, but not with the Magento 2 Currency Switcher. Except for switching currency automatically based on customers' geolocation, this tool provides multiple rounding algorithms.

However, before we configure this option, don't forget to configure currency rates.

To round off prices in Magento 2:

1. Go to Stores > Configuration > Magefan Extensions > Auto Currency Switcher.
2. Enable the Round Prices options and Round Base Currency Prices if you like.
3. Select the Round Algorithm.

You can choose any from the available algorithms:

Round (16.3 -> 16.00, 16.5 -> 17.00)
Ceil (16.3 -> 17.00, 16.5 -> 17.00)
Round 10 (14.3 -> 8.00, 17.5 -> 20.00)
Ceil 10 (14.3
