Currencies
Each currency has a rate for one unit of your store currency, an exchange fee, a rounding, its symbol and position, decimals, and whether customers pay in it. Tick Auto to take the rate from the European Central Bank.
Rounding applies to your own prices. Role prices, quantity prices and discounts are converted exactly, so they keep their saving.
Fixed prices
Tick Fixed prices to add a regular and sale price per currency on the General tab of products and in each variation. Empty fields use the converted price, shown as a placeholder.
Switchers
Add the Currency switcher block or the shortcode [mcsm_switcher] anywhere, tick Product pages to show it above the add to cart button, or turn on the floating switcher in a corner.
First-visit currency
With Visitor’s country on, visitors see the currency of their country on their first visit. Add extra countries to a currency under Also the first-visit currency in.
Checkout and orders
Customers pay in the currency they chose, and the order is saved in it with the rate used. Untick Pay in it to make a currency reference-only. Choose payment methods per currency for gateways that only take some currencies.

Frequently asked questions
How do I change the currency in WooCommerce?
Your store currency stays in WooCommerce > Settings > General. Add more currencies under WooCommerce > Settings > Currencies, and customers switch between them.
Why are prices not converted in the WooCommerce REST API?
The REST API used by apps and integrations stays in your store currency on purpose, so your stock and accounting tools see one currency.
Can I update rates by hand?
Yes. Untick Auto for a currency and enter its rate, or click Update automatic rates now.
