## Kuvaus

Baxtersweb Currency Switcher lets visitors choose a familiar currency and see converted
prices across WordPress or WooCommerce. Your original stored prices stay unchanged,
and WooCommerce continues to use its configured store currency for cart, checkout,
orders and payments.

It is designed for **multi-currency price display without a full multi-currency 
checkout system** and works with WooCommerce prices, custom fields, shortcodes, 
templates and dynamic JavaScript values.

### Display multiple currencies without changing original prices

Visitors select a display currency using a frontend currency switcher. The plugin
converts supported price displays using the active exchange rate and remembers the
visitor’s selection in a browser cookie.

The plugin does not:

 * Rewrite stored product or custom-field prices
 * Change the WooCommerce store currency
 * Process payments in the selected display currency
 * Change cart, checkout, order or account values

### WordPress and WooCommerce price sources

Choose the workflow that matches your site:

**Custom price values** — convert numeric ACF fields, standard WordPress post meta
or supplied values using the shortcode.

**WooCommerce product prices** — automatically convert standard shop and product
price displays while WooCommerce continues to transact in the store currency.

WooCommerce is optional. ACF is also optional.

### Visitor currency switcher

Place the switcher anywhere shortcodes are supported:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency_switcher]
    ```

Optional label:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency_switcher label="Currency:"]
    ```

Display codes, symbols and locally bundled SVG flags, with Basic, Clean and Pill
switcher styles that remain easy to override with theme CSS.

### Exchange rates and price control

The plugin retrieves daily European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates and stores
the latest successful rate set in WordPress.

For each enabled currency, configure its symbol, percentage adjustment, optional
manual rate, rounding, decimals and visitor availability. You can also choose the
default display currency, switcher format and converted-price format.

### Convert custom prices with shortcodes

Configured field on the current post:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency]
    ```

Specific field:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency field="itinerary_price"]
    ```

Specific post:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency id="123"]
    ```

Supplied numeric value:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency value="2450"]
    ```

WooCommerce product price in a custom template:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency source="woocommerce" id="123"]
    ```

Add surrounding text when needed:

    ```
    [bxtr_currency value="2450" prefix="From " suffix=" per person"]
    ```

### JavaScript API for dynamic prices

Dynamic controls can use the same selected currency, rates, adjustments, rounding
and formatting:

    ```
    BXTRCurrency.convert(5000)

    BXTRCurrency.format(5000)

    BXTRCurrency.getCurrency()

    BXTRCurrency.getConfig()
    ```

Useful for sliders, calculators and configurators where the underlying value remains
in the site’s base currency.

### WooCommerce display behaviour

Automatic WooCommerce conversion supports standard simple, sale and variable product
price output on product and shop pages.

Cart, checkout, orders, payments and account pages remain in the WooCommerce store
currency.

Some themes and builders bypass WooCommerce’s standard price output. In those cases,
use the manual WooCommerce shortcode in the custom template.

### Support

For support, use the public support forum on WordPress.org.

### External services

Baxtersweb Currency Switcher connects to the European Central Bank (ECB) to retrieve
public daily reference exchange rates used for display conversion.

The plugin requests this fixed XML feed:

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml

The request is made from the WordPress website server when the plugin is activated,
when an administrator selects **Update rates now**, and during the scheduled daily
update when automatic updates are enabled.

The plugin does not add visitor details, WordPress user details, customer information,
payment information, website content, selected currencies or custom query parameters
to the request. Standard server connection information such as the requesting server’s
IP address may be processed by the external service.

The returned public exchange-rate data and update timestamp are stored locally in
WordPress. ECB reference rates are informational and may differ from commercial,
card-provider or payment-gateway rates.

 * ECB reference-rate feed: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-
   daily.xml
 * ECB disclaimer and copyright: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/services/using-our-site/
   disclaimer/html/index.en.html
 * ECB privacy statement: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/services/privacy/html/index.
   en.html

By enabling and using exchange-rate conversion, the website makes requests to this
external ECB service under the ECB’s applicable terms and privacy information.

## Asennus

 3. Configure the base currency, visitor currencies and display settings.

    replacement.
 6. Test at least two currencies on the frontend.

## UKK

### Does this change my original prices?

No. The plugin converts supported values for display. The original product price,
custom-field value or supplied base value remains unchanged.

### Does this change the WooCommerce checkout currency?

No. Cart, checkout, orders, payments and account pages continue to use the WooCommerce
store currency.

### Is this a full multi-currency checkout plugin?

No. It focuses on display conversion while the site keeps one base price and, when
applicable, one WooCommerce transaction currency.

### Is WooCommerce required?

No. You can convert direct numeric amounts, ACF fields or standard WordPress custom
fields without WooCommerce.

### Is ACF required?

No. If ACF is active, the plugin can retrieve values through ACF. Otherwise it can
read the configured field from standard WordPress post meta.

### Where do exchange rates come from?

The plugin retrieves the European Central Bank’s daily reference-rate XML feed and
stores the last successful rates in WordPress.

### Can I adjust the exchange rate?

Yes. Each currency can use a percentage adjustment, manual rate, rounding increment
and chosen number of decimal places. A manual rate replaces the calculated ECB cross-
rate for that currency before the configured percentage adjustment is applied.

### What happens if the ECB feed is unavailable?

The plugin keeps using the last successfully stored rates. A failed update does 
not delete the previous rate set.

### Why is a converted price not appearing?

Check that the source is numeric, the correct field or post ID is used, the target
currency is enabled and valid rates are stored. The **Tools** tab also shows frontend
detection status.

### Why does a cached page show the previous currency?

Full-page caching varies between hosts and cache plugins. Exclude affected pages
from full-page caching or configure the cache to vary by the `bxtr_cdc_currency`
cookie or `display_currency` query parameter.

### Does the plugin remember the visitor’s currency?

Yes. The selected enabled currency code is stored in the `bxtr_cdc_currency` browser
cookie for up to one year.
