WooCommerce Multi-Currency Pro – Currency Switcher
Take your WooCommerce store global with flexible multi-currency pricing, automatic exchange rates, geolocation-based currency selection, and customer-friendly currency switching.
Selling internationally becomes much easier when customers can browse your store in a currency they recognize. WooCommerce Multi-Currency Pro – Currency Switcher is designed for WooCommerce stores that need to display and manage prices in multiple currencies while giving customers greater control over how they view and pay for products.
The original product supports multiple currencies, automatic or manual exchange rates, geolocation rules, currency-specific payment gateways, custom product prices, currency converters, shortcodes, widgets, Gutenberg blocks, and more.
Expand Your WooCommerce Store Beyond One Currency
If your WooCommerce store serves customers from different countries, displaying every price in only one currency can create unnecessary friction.
For example, an international visitor may see:
$79.00 USD
while they are accustomed to shopping in:
€, £, CAD, AUD, AED, or another local currency.
Customers then have to calculate the approximate price themselves before deciding whether to purchase.
A multi-currency system can make the shopping experience clearer by allowing customers to switch currencies or automatically displaying a suitable currency based on their location.
With this plugin, you can configure multiple currencies and determine how prices, exchange rates, payment methods, checkout currencies, and product pricing should behave.
Key Features
1. Add Multiple Currencies to WooCommerce
Configure multiple currencies for your online store and let customers choose the currency they prefer.
For each currency, you can configure details such as:
- Currency symbol
- Currency label
- Symbol position
- Decimal places
- Thousand separators
- Decimal separators
- Rounding
- Currency flag
- Custom flag images
This allows you to create a currency display that matches your store’s design and pricing strategy.
2. Automatic Exchange Rate Updates
Manually updating exchange rates can become time-consuming, particularly if your store supports several currencies.
The plugin supports automatic exchange-rate updates through supported rate providers, allowing you to configure how frequently rates should be refreshed.
Depending on your configuration, exchange rates can be updated at intervals such as:
- Daily
- Weekly
- Twice daily
- Other supported intervals
You can also manually enter rates when you want complete control over your pricing.
Practical benefit
Instead of repeatedly checking exchange rates and updating every currency manually, configure automatic updates and let the system maintain the conversion rates according to your selected settings.
3. Geolocation-Based Currency Selection
Make the shopping experience more convenient for international visitors.
The plugin can use customer location information to automatically determine which currency should be displayed.
For example:
United States → USD
United Kingdom → GBP
European countries → EUR
You can configure your own supported currencies and geographic rules rather than relying solely on a generic country-to-currency setup.
4. Create Advanced Geolocation Rules
You may not always want customers from a particular country to see their local currency.
For example, you might decide that customers from a particular region should see:
USD
instead of their local currency.
The plugin allows custom rules that can override the default geolocation behavior and determine which currency is displayed to visitors from specific countries.
This is particularly useful for businesses with regional pricing strategies.
5. Allow Customers to Switch Currency Manually
Automatic currency selection is useful, but customers should still have control.
Add a currency switcher to your website so visitors can manually select their preferred currency.
You can place currency-selection tools in areas such as:
- Header
- Footer
- Sidebar
- Product pages
- Shop pages
- Other supported content areas
The plugin provides shortcodes, widgets, and Gutenberg blocks for displaying currency-selection tools.
6. Sticky Currency Switcher
Make currency selection continuously accessible with a sticky currency panel.
A fixed currency selector can remain visible while customers browse your website, allowing them to change currencies without having to return to the header or another location.
This can be particularly useful for international stores where visitors frequently compare prices in different currencies.
7. Currency Converter on Product Pages
Give customers an immediate way to understand product prices in another currency.
You can display a currency converter or currency-selection tool directly on product pages.
For example:
Original Store Price: $100 USD
Customer selects:
EUR → €
The displayed price can then be converted according to your configured exchange-rate settings.
This is especially useful for stores targeting multiple international markets.
8. Set Different Prices for Each Currency
Automatic conversion isn’t always the right pricing strategy.
You may want to charge:
$100 USD
but set a deliberately different price for another market rather than simply converting the USD price.
The plugin allows product prices to be overridden for individual currencies, including support for both simple and variable products.
Example
Instead of automatically converting:
USD → EUR
you could configure a specific EUR price for a product.
This gives store owners more control over regional pricing.
9. Currency-Specific Payment Gateways
Different currencies and regions may require different payment methods.
The plugin allows you to hide specific payment gateways depending on the selected currency.
For example:
USD → Credit Card + PayPal
EUR → Credit Card + Bank Transfer
This helps store owners configure payment options around their supported currencies and payment infrastructure.
10. Control the Checkout Currency
Displaying multiple currencies throughout your store doesn’t necessarily mean you have to process every order in every currency.
You can configure the checkout behavior according to your store’s requirements.
For example, you could allow customers to browse prices in their preferred currency while forcing checkout to use:
USD
Alternatively, supported configurations can use the customer’s selected currency or country-based rules.
This can be useful when your payment provider or accounting workflow is centered around a particular currency.
11. Currency-Specific Shipping Costs
International stores often have different shipping costs depending on the market.
The plugin’s current feature list includes multi-currency options for shipping costs, including minimum order amounts for free shipping and flat-rate costs in different currencies.
This can help you create more appropriate shipping rules for different currencies.
12. Currency-Specific Coupon Values
Promotional campaigns can become complicated when your store supports multiple currencies.
The plugin allows coupon values to be configured for different currencies.
For example, instead of simply converting a discount automatically, you can create currency-specific promotional values that better fit your pricing strategy.
13. Customize Currency Display
You have control over how currencies appear on your website.
Configure:
- Currency symbols
- Currency codes
- Decimal places
- Decimal separators
- Thousand separators
- Symbol position
- Currency labels
- Flags
- Custom flag images
You can choose to display formats such as:
$100
100 $
USD 100
or another supported presentation according to your configuration.
14. Currency Shortcodes, Widgets & Gutenberg Blocks
Place currency-selection tools where they make the most sense for your website.
Supported options include:
- Currency selector
- Currency list
- Alphabetical currency list
- Currency converter
- Currency rates
- Currency widgets
- Gutenberg blocks
- Shortcodes
This provides flexibility when integrating the currency system into different WooCommerce layouts.
15. Customizable Currency Switcher Design
Your currency selector shouldn’t look out of place on your website.
The plugin provides styling controls for supported widgets and shortcodes, including options related to:
- Colors
- Flags
- Flag positioning
- Selector style
- Currency presentation
This allows you to integrate the switcher more naturally into your existing WooCommerce design.
16. Product-Level Currency Pricing
Store-wide exchange rates are useful, but some businesses need more precise control.
With product-level pricing, you can override the automatically calculated amount and assign specific prices to individual products for each enabled currency.
This is particularly useful when your international pricing strategy accounts for:
- Local market conditions
- Taxes
- Shipping costs
- Regional competition
- Currency fluctuations
- Promotional pricing
The official feature list supports currency-specific prices for both simple and variable products.
17. Variable Product Support
For stores selling products with variations, currency management needs to work beyond simple products.
The plugin supports currency-specific pricing controls for variable products, allowing store owners to manage pricing across different product configurations.
18. Integration with Product Add-Ons
The current official feature list includes integration with supported YITH WooCommerce Product Add-Ons & Extra Options functionality so add-on prices can be displayed in the customer’s selected currency.
This can be useful for stores selling configurable products with paid extras.
19. Flexible Currency Rules for International Stores
Not every international store should use the same currency strategy.
You can combine:
Geolocation + Currency Switcher + Exchange Rates + Regional Rules + Product Pricing + Checkout Rules
to create a multi-currency setup that matches your business model.
For example:
International Retail Store
Visitors automatically see their regional currency.
Global Digital Store
Customers can browse in multiple currencies while checkout remains in a preferred processing currency.
Regional Pricing Store
Customers see different manually configured prices depending on the selected currency.

For example:
USD: $100
EUR: €95

This allows you to use deliberate regional pricing rather than relying exclusively on automatic conversion.
Recommended Setup for a New International Store
For a simple setup, start with:
Primary Currency
Your business’s main operating currency.
Additional Currencies
Only the currencies relevant to your target markets.
Exchange Rates
Start with automatic updates if appropriate for your business.
Geolocation
Enable it if you want customers to automatically see a relevant currency.
Manual Switcher
Keep a visible currency selector available so customers can override automatic selection.
Checkout
Test whether your payment gateways support the currencies you intend to process.
Important: Test Your Checkout
Currency conversion is not only about displaying a different price.
Before launching, perform complete test orders.
Test:
Product → Currency Selection → Cart → Checkout → Payment → Order Confirmation
Verify:
- Product price
- Variation price
- Cart total
- Shipping
- Taxes
- Discount
- Payment gateway
- Order total
- Order currency
- Customer emails
- Refund workflow
This is especially important when multiple payment gateways or other WooCommerce extensions are installed.
Troubleshooting
Currency Switcher Isn’t Appearing
Check:
- The plugin is activated.
- WooCommerce is active.
- At least two currencies are configured.
- The switcher/widget/shortcode has been added correctly.
- Your theme isn’t hiding the selected element.
- Website and plugin caches have been cleared.
Exchange Rate Isn’t Updating
Check:
- Selected rate provider
- API/connection settings
- Currency availability
- Update interval
- Server connectivity
- Plugin logs/settings
You can temporarily use a manual exchange rate to determine whether the issue is related to automatic rate retrieval.
Checkout Shows the Wrong Currency
Review:
- Default currency
- Checkout currency settings
- Geolocation rules
- Customer location
- Payment gateway configuration
The plugin supports configurations that can force checkout to a selected currency or base it on customer selection/location.
Product Price Is Unexpected
Check whether the product has a manually configured currency-specific price.
A manually entered product price can take precedence over a simple exchange-rate conversion depending on the configuration.
Best Practices for Multi-Currency WooCommerce
Don’t Enable Too Many Currencies
Only add currencies that are relevant to your target markets.
Keep Exchange Rates Updated
Currency markets change. If your business depends on accurate conversion, configure an appropriate update schedule.
Test Payment Gateways
A currency that can be displayed isn’t necessarily a currency that every payment gateway can process.
Keep a Manual Switcher
Even when geolocation is enabled, allow customers to change the currency themselves where appropriate.
Test Mobile
Make sure the currency selector remains easy to use on phones and tablets.
Review Regional Pricing
Automatic conversion may not always be the best pricing strategy. For important markets, consider manually defining product prices.
