U2Code Product Multicurrency for WooCommerce

Description

U2Code Product Multicurrency lets your WooCommerce store display prices and accept payments in any number of currencies.

Currencies & rates

• Unlimited currencies, ordered the way you want them in the switcher
• Automatic exchange rates from ECB, Frankfurter, FloatRates (free, no key), Open Exchange Rates or Fixer
• Hourly to weekly update schedule, or manual-only, with an “Update now” button
• Manual rate override per currency — automatic updates never touch it
• Percentage fee (markup) and fixed fee per currency
• Price rounding per currency: to the nearest/up/down step (0.01 … 100) plus charm endings (19.99) — with a live preview while you configure
• Per-currency symbol, symbol position, decimals and separators — zero-decimal currencies like JPY handled correctly
• If a rate is ever missing or broken, prices fall back to the base currency — never to zero

Detection & switching

• Currency switcher everywhere you need it: Gutenberg block (works in Site Editor headers), shortcode [u2code_currency_switcher], classic widget, floating panel, navigation menu items (any number of menus, with a currency submenu), under the price on product pages, and an Elementor widget — five styles (dropdown, buttons, native select, flags only, text links), with flag emojis (no image sprites)
• Geolocation: map countries to currencies and first-time visitors see their local one (crawlers always get the base currency)
• The visitor’s choice is remembered in a cookie; ?currency=EUR links switch too
• Cache compatibility mode: prices are re-drawn in the browser on cached pages; WP Rocket cookie registration built in

Checkout & orders

• Choose: customers pay in the selected currency, or the checkout always charges the base currency (display-only switching)
• Every order stores the currency, the exchange rate at purchase time and the total in your base currency
• WooCommerce Analytics reads coherent base-currency numbers — reports never mix currencies
• The order-pay page always charges the order’s own currency

Compatible by design

• HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatible, Store API aware
• Shipping costs, fixed-amount coupons, coupon limits and free-shipping thresholds are all converted
• Ships integrations for Tiered Pricing Table, U2Code Product Addons, Elementor and WP Rocket — each can be toggled off
• Extensive hooks for developers (see DEVELOPERS.md in the plugin folder)

Premium

• Fixed per-product prices per currency (simple products and variations) that replace the calculated conversion
• Restrict payment gateways per currency

External services

This plugin can fetch currency exchange rates from an external service. It only contacts the one provider you select under WooCommerce → Settings → Multicurrency → Exchange Rates, on the schedule you choose there (or when you press “Update rates now”). The request is made from your server and contains only the currency codes you configured — plus your own API key for the providers that require one. No visitor data and no personal data is ever sent.

Available rate providers:

• European Central Bank (ECB) — free daily reference rates, no account needed. Disclaimer and copyright
• Frankfurter — free open-source exchange-rate API, no key and no account needed. Website and documentation
• FloatRates — free exchange-rate feeds, no account needed. FloatRates does not publish separate terms or privacy pages; see About FloatRates
• Open Exchange Rates — requires an App ID that you create with them. Terms of service, Privacy policy
• Fixer — requires an access key that you create with them. Terms of service, Privacy policy

If “Detect currency by visitor location” is enabled, the visitor’s country is determined by WooCommerce’s built-in geolocation on your own server. This plugin does not send visitor data to any external geolocation service.

Source code & build

The admin app in assets/admin/ is compiled with @wordpress/scripts (webpack) from the human-readable sources shipped in js-source/. To rebuild it:

cd js-source && npm install && npm run build

All other JavaScript and CSS in assets/ is hand-written; .min files are generated from the adjacent source file of the same name.
