Hi there,

I’m using the free version of FOX - Currency Switcher for WooCommerce, and I’m trying to achieve the following setup:

  • I want to input product prices in USD when creating or editing products in the WooCommerce admin.
  • Then, on the front end, I want the plugin to convert those USD prices to ARS (Argentine Pesos) based on a manually set exchange rate.
  • In other words, USD would be my store’s internal currency, and ARS would be used only for display to customers.

Currently, my WooCommerce base currency is ARS, and when I switch to USD using the plugin, the displayed amount changes, but the actual price input is still in ARS, which leads to confusion and extra work during price updates.

Is there a way to set things up so that:

  1. I input prices in USD in the product editor,
  2. The plugin then converts those prices to ARS for front-end display?

Do I need the PRO version for this functionality, or is it possible in the free version using the"Fixed Prices Rules" or any other setting?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I think the free version of the plugin is enough for you

For this functionality I recommend you make USD as the base currency

And  in  functions.php   add code:

add_filter('wp_head',function(){    
    if(class_exists('WOOCS')){
        global $WOOCS;
        $WOOCS->set_currency('ARS');
 }
});
