A: Yes, it can automatically detect the user’s location using their IP address and show prices in the relevant currency. You can also override this behavior based on billing/shipping country or user-selected preferences. ### Q: Can I show different product prices for each currency? A: Absolutely. You can manually set specific product prices for each currency directly from the product editing screen. ### Q: What happens at checkout? Will the currency change back to default? A: That’s up to you! You can choose to either preserve the selected currency through to payment or revert to the store’s base currency during checkout. ### Q: Can customers manually switch currencies? A: Yes. You can add a switcher to your site using a widget or a shortcode in any format — dropdown, links, or radio buttons. ### Q: Is this plugin compatible with WPML or Polylang for multilingual sites? A: Yes, and it even allows you to assign different currencies based on selected language/locale. ### Q: How are exchange rates handled? A: Exchange rates can be updated automatically from a variety of providers, or you can input them manually. ### Q: What if my exchange rates provider requires an API key (e.g., CoinMarketCap)? A: Simply enter your API key in the plugin settings under WooCommerce > Settings > Currency Switcher > Exchange Rates. ### Q: Does it support cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum? A: Yes! You’ll need to install the [All Currencies for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-all-currencies/) plugin to enable crypto support. ### Q: Can I force a currency using a URL parameter? A: Yes. You can add `?alg_currency=USD` to any page URL to switch to USD (replace with any currency code). ### Q: Why is the PayPal currency incorrect in email receipts? A: The default PayPal integration may not support multi-currency. We recommend switching to [this PayPal plugin](https://www.angelleye.com/product/woocommerce-paypal-plugin/) for full compatibility. ### Q: Can I show converted prices in custom templates using code? A: Yes. Use the function `alg_get_product_price_by_currency()` to get and format the price in any currency. ### Q: How do I exclude certain currencies from using rounding or pretty pricing? A: You can use the `alg_wc_currency_switcher_correction` filter to disable rounding for specific currencies like BTC. ### Q: Will this plugin work with WooCommerce Subscriptions? A: It works with most standard WooCommerce extensions, but multi-currency recurring billing may depend on the gateway’s capabilities. We recommend testing your configuration thoroughly. ### Q: How can I display the current currency symbol or code anywhere on my site? A: Use the shortcodes `[woocommerce_currency_switcher_current_currency_symbol]` or `[woocommerce_currency_switcher_current_currency_code]`. ### Q: Can I set different shipping costs for different currencies? A: Yes, you can adjust shipping prices using filters or enable conversion on shipping costs in the plugin’s settings. ### Q: How can I show the currency switcher only on specific pages? A: Use conditional shortcodes or WooCommerce template hooks to display the switcher only where you need it. ### Q: What if my server doesn’t support some exchange rate APIs? A: Make sure SOAP or cURL is enabled. You can also switch to another supported exchange rate provider in the plugin settings. ### Q: Is this plugin compatible with caching plugins? A: It works with most caching plugins, but for best results, enable AJAX mode or exclude currency switcher pages from caching. ### Q: How many currencies can I add? A: You can add as many currencies as you need — there’s no hard limit. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/de637d8257499b74ba8ebebb9a673f2a8a56cc714f7986ec53066d75816151b3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[best of the best for eshops](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-of-the-best-for-eshops/)󠁿 [cinnamon89](https://profiles.wordpress.org/cinnamon89/) May 28, 2025 Use it for my WooCommerce shop and it works really good.
