Supports the top 5 currencies: * India INR (Rs) * USA USD ($) * Australia AUD (A$) * Canada CAD (C$) * Europe EUR (€) Visitors can also manually override the auto-detected currency using a floating switcher widget or the `[dcswc_switcher]` shortcode. This plugin is an independent third-party integration and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce or Automattic. #### Features * Auto IP-based country detection * Cloudflare-compatible (reads the `CF-Connecting-IP` header) * Floating currency switcher widget, with manual override * `[dcswc_switcher]` shortcode for an inline dropdown * Admin settings page under WooCommerce with per-currency exchange rates * Transient caching of IP lookups (12 hours per IP) to minimize external requests * INR displayed as “Rs” instead of the ₹ symbol #### External services This plugin uses the free [ip-api.com](https://ip-api.com) service to look up a visitor’s country from their IP address, in order to select the correct display currency. * What is sent: the visitor’s IP address. Note: ip-api.com’s free tier only supports plain HTTP for this lookup (their paid plan offers an HTTPS endpoint). * When: on a visitor’s first page view, when no cached result exists for that IP( results are cached for 12 hours per IP using WordPress transients, so the same visitor is not looked up repeatedly). * Why: ip-api.com is a free geolocation API and does not require an account or API key. * Third-party terms: [ip-api.com Terms of Service and Privacy Policy](https://ip-api.com/docs/legal). If you require full control over data sent to third parties (e.g. for GDPR compliance), please review ip-api.com’s terms before activating this plugin on a site with EU visitors. ### Shortcode Place the currency switcher dropdown anywhere: ``` [dcswc_switcher] ``` ## Installation 1. Upload the `desraj-currency-switcher-for-woocommerce` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via Plugins Add New. 2. Activate the plugin. WooCommerce must be installed and active. 3. Go to WooCommerce Currency Switcher to configure the default currency, switcher position, and exchange rates. ## FAQ ### Do I need an API key? No. The plugin uses the free tier of ip-api.com (1,000 requests/minute, no account required). ### What if the visitor’s country is not in the supported list? The plugin falls back to the “Default Currency” configured in the plugin settings. ### Does it work behind Cloudflare? Yes — it reads the `CF-Connecting-IP` header first, before falling back to other headers. ### Are prices converted using live exchange rates? No. Prices are converted using the exchange rate you enter manually in the plugin settings (base currency: INR). Rates are not fetched automatically and must be updated by the site admin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “desraj Currency Switcher for WooCommerce” is open source software.
