Baxtersweb Currency Switcher – Display Prices in Multiple Currencies

Baxtersweb Currency Switcher lets visitors choose a familiar currency and see converted prices across WordPress or WooCommerce. Your original stored prices stay unchanged, and WooCommerce continues to use its configured store currency for cart, checkout, orders and payments. It is designed for multi-currency price display without a full multi-currency checkout system and works with WooCommerce prices, custom fields, shortcodes, templates and dynamic JavaScript values. Display multiple currencies without changing original prices Visitors select a display currency using a frontend currency switcher. The plugin converts supported price displays using the active exchange rate and remembers the visitor's selection in a browser cookie. The plugin does not:

• Rewrite stored product or custom-field prices
• Change the WooCommerce store currency
• Process payments in the selected display currency
• Change cart, checkout, order or account values

WordPress and WooCommerce price sources Choose the workflow that matches your site: Custom price values — convert numeric ACF fields, standard WordPress post meta or supplied values using the shortcode. WooCommerce product prices — automatically convert standard shop and product price displays while WooCommerce continues to transact in the store currency. WooCommerce is optional. ACF is also optional. Visitor currency switcher Place the switcher anywhere shortcodes are supported: [bxtr_currency_switcher] Optional label: [bxtr_currency_switcher label="Currency:"] Display codes, symbols and locally bundled SVG flags, with Basic, Clean and Pill switcher styles that remain easy to override with theme CSS. Exchange rates and price control The plugin retrieves daily European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates and stores the latest successful rate set in WordPress. For each enabled currency, configure its symbol, percentage adjustment, optional manual rate, rounding, decimals and visitor availability. You can also choose the default display currency, switcher format and converted-price format. Convert custom prices with shortcodes Configured field on the current post: [bxtr_currency] Specific field: [bxtr_currency field="itinerary_price"] Specific post: [bxtr_currency id="123"] Supplied numeric value: [bxtr_currency value="2450"] WooCommerce product price in a custom template: [bxtr_currency source="woocommerce" id="123"] Add surrounding text when needed: [bxtr_currency value="2450" prefix="From " suffix=" per person"] JavaScript API for dynamic prices Dynamic controls can use the same selected currency, rates, adjustments, rounding and formatting: BXTRCurrency.convert(5000) BXTRCurrency.format(5000) BXTRCurrency.getCurrency() BXTRCurrency.getConfig() Useful for sliders, calculators and configurators where the underlying value remains in the site's base currency. WooCommerce display behaviour Automatic WooCommerce conversion supports standard simple, sale and variable product price output on product and shop pages. Cart, checkout, orders, payments and account pages remain in the WooCommerce store currency. Some themes and builders bypass WooCommerce's standard price output. In those cases, use the manual WooCommerce shortcode in the custom template.
