If you have ever been on a website with some awesome products, only to discover that the products were in a different currency than you’re used to and you didn’t know how much the products would cost you, you can understand how frustrating this is. Some users might take initiative and figure out how much the products cost using Google to convert currency, but many people will probably just leave and find a new website that has the products. Others might purchase the products without even noticing and then notice a discrepancy in the bill and file a complaint or a chargeback. If you are the shop owner, you could be missing out on some valuable customers or getting complaints to your business and maybe even suffering from a high rate of chargebacks. With Currency Converter, you can make sure that your customers will see the prices in their local currency. This makes it easier on the customer and gives you the chance for more orders.

Currency Converter is easy to use and you can give the customers the currencies they need. Any business with a global market can benefit from this plugin, especially those in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan, which all have wildly different currencies that need to be figured out.

There are many features with Currency Converter that make it a good plugin to have on your site. The plugin features both live updates and auto refresh to make it easy to add the latest features to your website without a lot of work. If you don’t want the features or want to manually update, you can have live update disabled. Auto refresh makes it easy to sync the current value of the currency based on the day’s conversion rates. Some customers may catch on to currency exchange rates and know that they can save some money if they purchase at the right time. This feature allows your currency conversion rates to look legitimate, instead of just a rough estimate or guess. You may have some currencies you want to restrict in your shop and that is perfectly fine. You can choose which currencies you accept in three different ways: PayPal Only, List Only or Location Block.

PayPal Only will allow you to choose which countries that can only purchase through PayPal. PayPal will automatically do the converting for you, making your job easier. List Only allows you to select your list of currencies you want to accept. There is a default list, but if you have a different audience or don’t want to accept all the currencies, you can customize the list and create your own that is just right for your customers. Location Block allows you to choose which countries you don’t want purchasing from your shop. This may be useful if you don’t or can’t ship to certain countries. You can choose how customers are seeing the conversions. One-touch mode will convert every page, which is a popular choice. However, if you are worried about customer site speed, you can choose the on-the-go option, which allows customers to select their currency of choice on the item page or in the cart. For repeat customers, Currency Converter will save the data so they don’t have to worry about load time once they visit a second time.
