A company makes a smart decision to pause sales in order to ensure they're not selling their products at a loss due to the drop on the value of rubies....

Apple could purchase FX swaps and charge customers a "FX fluctuation surcharge". That's better than shutting down the store...

I thought the option to pay in your credit card's native currency abroad was basically just a scam where the shop makes up a ridiculous exchange rate on the spot to overcharge you.
