More than 180+ currency rates. Currency Converter adds customizable exchange rate widgets to your WordPress site. It supports a wide range of fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, precious metals, and other monetary units available through the ExchangeRate.guru API.
Exchange rates are refreshed automatically once per hour using WordPress Cron and stored locally in the WordPress database. Widgets use the cached data, so visitors do not trigger remote API requests. No registration, API key, or password is required.
