🌍 Why Currency Switcher for WooCommerce?
Most multi-currency plugins are bloated, ship with telemetry SDKs, or lock core features behind a paywall. This plugin is different:
- Lightweight — no unnecessary code, no jQuery dependency for the switcher UI
- Zero telemetry — no data ever sent to our servers, no Appsero, no analytics SDKs
- Fully functional — every feature works out of the box, nothing locked behind a paywall
- Modern — built for WooCommerce HPOS, block Cart/Checkout, and FSE block themes
✅ Core Features
Multi-Currency Support
Display and process orders in 150+ ISO 4217 currencies. Enable as many currencies as your store needs from a searchable admin grid with flag emojis.
Auto Exchange Rates
Rates fetched automatically from the European Central Bank (free, no API key) or Open Exchange Rates. Cached in transients and a resilient database table — rates are always available even if the API is temporarily down. A dismissible admin notice alerts you when rates are more than 48 hours old, with a one-click refresh button.
GeoIP Auto-Detection
On a visitor’s first page load, the plugin detects their country and automatically sets their local currency. The result is stored in a 30-day cookie — zero repeat API calls, zero performance impact.
Two Switcher Modes
– Full Mode — prices, cart, shipping, and checkout all process in the selected currency. Orders are saved with the customer’s currency.
– Visual Mode — display prices in any currency on the storefront but charge in your store’s base currency at checkout. Ideal for stores that cannot process multi-currency payments.
AJAX No-Reload Currency Switch
Switching currency on shop, archive, and single product pages instantly updates all prices in the DOM without a page reload. Cart and checkout pages reload for accurate server-side WooCommerce totals. A storzenCSCurrencyChanged JS event fires after every successful DOM update so themes and plugins can hook in.
Per-Currency Price Format
Set decimal separator, thousand separator, symbol position (left / right / left with space / right with space), and decimal places independently for each enabled currency. A live preview updates instantly in the admin as you configure each currency.
Currency → Payment Gateway Mapping
Restrict which payment gateways appear at checkout based on the active currency. Show only bKash and Nagad for BDT, only Stripe and PayPal for USD. If no mapping is set for a currency, all gateways are shown — zero breaking change for existing stores.
Currency-Specific Coupons
Restrict any WooCommerce coupon to one or more currencies. A “Currency restriction” field appears on the coupon edit screen. Customers applying a coupon in a disallowed currency see a clear error message.
Coupons with no restriction set apply to all currencies (safe default).
WPML / Polylang Language → Currency Auto-Map
Automatically switch currency when a visitor changes language. Map each language to a currency from the “Language Map” admin tab. Compatible with WPML and Polylang — works immediately when either plugin is active, with no code required.
Order-Time Exchange Rate Snapshot
The exact exchange rate is saved to order meta when an order is placed. The snapshot (customer currency, store base currency, rate, and date) is visible in the WooCommerce admin order panel, the customer confirmation email, and the order-received page — useful for refunds, disputes, and currency reconciliation.
Per-Product Fixed Prices
Override the auto-converted price with an exact fixed amount for any product and currency. Set a fixed USD price, a fixed EUR price, and a fixed BDT price independently — all from the product edit page.
