FAQ

Issues regarding Paypal

  • If you are experiencing some sort of issue regarding paypal, like incorrect currency code displayed in notification emails or anything else, please try to disable the default paypal component bundled with WooCommerce and use this plugin instead

How to get the converted price

If you are trying to display the converted price on a custom template for example you can use our alg_get_product_price_by_currency() function.
e.g

add_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary', function(){
    if ( ! class_exists( 'Alg_WC_Currency_Switcher' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    global $product;
    $price = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_regular_price', true);
    $converted_price = alg_get_product_price_by_currency( $price, alg_get_current_currency_code(), $product, true );
    $converted_price_formatted = wc_price( $converted_price );
    echo "<h1>{$converted_price}</h1>";
    echo "<h1>{$converted_price_formatted}</h1>";
});

CoinMarketCap not working?

Please make sure you are using at least one Cryptocurrency on your Currency settings.
You can install All Currencies for WooCommerce plugin to enable them

National Bank of Georgia

If you are trying the National Bank of Georgia server option with no success, make sure that your server has the SoapClient library installed and enabled

How to override rounding and pretty price per currency?

If you want for example to turn on the rounding for all products except for Bitcoin, supposing you’ve enabled rounding and pretty price on plugin’s settings:

add_filter( 'alg_wc_currency_switcher_correction', function ( $correction, $currency ) {
    if ( $currency == 'BTC' ) {
        $correction['rounding'] = 'no_round';
        $correction['pretty_price'] = 'no';
    }

    return $correction;
}, 10, 2 );

How to force currency by URL

If you want to set a currency just accessing an URL you can append the alg_currency variable with the currency code you want.
e.g

http://www.yoursite.com?alg_currency=USD

Reviews

An amazing experience with this plugin

🍂 🔟 1, 2023 1 reply
I had to go trough 7 plugins before I found out this one. Plugin configuration is so simple, straightforward and lightweight. It ‘s simple to work with and does exactly what I needed. Thank you for Best Free Plugin Currency Switcher for WooCommerce. I’ll be taking a look to the pro version for future requirements. Excellent job of the developers. Highly recommended!

Works quite well! Author, please Keep up the good work!!

I tried other 2 plugins (with many good reviews) but didn’t turn out well. Until i tried your plugin, worked quite well. No issue so far. Question: in the JS and PHP code, how to check which currency is currently active? thanks

Works perfectly

I wasn’t sure at first, but..this just works as it should.

works great

🍃3️⃣ 3, 2021 1 reply
the switcher works great, it offers different appearances (drop down menu of the currencies, radio buttons or links). I was able to also integrate it into a main menu of WP (with an additional tweak). The switcher is intelligently done (regarding all imaginable options) and has also a good and clear documentation (see their website, not here in the wordpress forum!). The only thing I would wish is to have an easier visual customisation for colours and text, for the way the switcher appears and integrates in other WP menus; perhaps with some kind of selector (to mostly avoid CSS coding).

Great plugin, simple configuration

❄️2️⃣ 19, 2021 1 reply
Plugin configuration is simple and straightforward, exchange rate live update is supported, up to three currencies in free version, excellent job. Highly recommended!
