Sell Products in Your Customers Currency

If you sell your products globally then you may want to allow your customers to choose the currency they use to purchase your item(s).

Here is an example of the scenario that we are going to cover in this tutorial.

When customers from US visit your site, they purchase the products using US Dollars. However, the customers from Europe can change the currency to EURO and purchase the products using EURO.

Step 1) Install the eStore Plugin

First step is to install and configure the eStore plugin (if you don’t have it already).

Step 2) Install the Multi-Currency Addon

Next, install and configure the multi-currency addon.

Step 3) Create a Products Page

Create a page from your WordPress admin dashboard and put all the products that you want to sell on this page. Here is an example of how it may look like:

Step 4) Add the Currency Conversion Widget

Now, you can add the currency conversion widget on your products page or on the sidebar.

The currency conversion widget allows your customer to switch the currency to their preferred currency.

Use the following shortcode to put the currency conversion widget on a page or in the sidebar:

[eStore_multi_currency_widget code="USD,GBP,EUR,AUD,CAD"]

You can remove some of the currencies from the shortcode (if you don’t want to offer them all).

  • USD – United States Dollar
  • GBP - Pound Sterling
  • EUR – Euro
  • AUD – Australian Dollar
  • CAD – Canadian Dollar

Now, your customers can pay you using the currency they prefer.

WP eStore Multi Currency AddOn

The eStore Multi Currency Addon allows your users to dynamically change the product currency of your store to their desired currency and make a payment using that currency.

Multi Currency AddOn Details

The eStore Multi Currency Addon works like a currency converter. It dynamically gets the exchange rate (from Forex rates) between your default currency and the customer’s preferred currency then updates the products prices to the new  currency.

This will give your users more flexibility by offering them a wide range of currency options for the checkout process.

You can embed a stylish currency select box anywhere on your site using the multiple currency addon shortcode. You can also choose to display it on the sidebar using the widget.

When a user on your site have one/more items in the shopping cart, they can either proceed to the checkout using the default store currency or select a different currency from the currency drop down box. Once they have selected a new currency they can simply click on the “Submit” button and the shopping cart currency will be updated accordingly.

They can always switch back to the default shopping cart currency by clicking on the “Reset” button.

Below is an example of how a product display may look like BEFORE the currency conversion:

Below is an example of how a product display may look like AFTER the currency conversion:

This will make your products much more appealing to the users who do not feel comfortable shopping other than their preferred currency.
