What is WooCommerce Multi Currency?
If you have a WooCommerce store, WooCommerce Multi Currency is a must-have plugin for you. WooCommerce
Multi Currency allows your customers to switch between currencies and your store can accept payments in
multi-currency. The exchange rate can be set up manually or automatically. The plugin can automatically get
customers’ geolocation and display the price in the customers’ native currency.
Important note:
CURCY – WooCommerce Multi Currency supports displaying the currencies bar on specific assigned pages
by using WP’s Conditional Tags.
To handle WP’s Conditional Tags, this plugin uses eval() which is very dangerous because it allows
the execution of arbitrary PHP code. Therefore, please only fill this field with proper conditional tags that are
validated and/or provided by trusted developers.
With WooCommerce Multi Currency, you can:
- Let customers see product prices in different currencies: Use the Currency bar (manage in Design tab), Currency
Price Switcher (manage this in General tab), or shortcode to let customers switch currency. - Set fixed price: WooCommerce Multi Currency allows you to add fixed prices in different
currencies to the product price. The fixed prices will overwrite the prices calculated by exchange rates. - Use SESSION: Enable this option and the plugin will use the session instead of cookies to save the selected
currency. - Set custom currency symbols: You can add your custom currency symbols. Example: United States Dollar can be
displayed as USD, US$, $… - Hide Currency: WooCommerce Multi Currency allows you to hide currencies that you do not want to
be shown on the front end. - Set the exchange rate manually: WooCommerce Multi Currency also allows you to set up the

manually, and Remove all countries. - Pay in different currencies: Enable this option to allow your customers to pay in different currencies
