 * I need to get the currency at checkout. In other plugins I have used the function-
   >get_currency and was able to return the currency code.
 * How would I go about doing it with your plugin?
 * For more context:
    I need to be able to see if the customer is using CAD or USD
   at checkout. Depending on the currency, I need to send the customer to a different
   payment portal.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Samara,
    at checkout (front-end) after ‘woocommerce_init’ hook, you can get
   the currency by: get_woocommerce_currency()
 * Easy ! 😀
