Additional settings:

  • Activate payment gateways on the checkout depending on currency
  • Force booking and checkout in the base currency
  • Use cookies instead of sessions to store user currency - this may fix some issues with website loading speed
/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=to_book&page=currency_switcher

Add shortcode to the needed widget areas to show the widget on the front-end:

  • Copy and paste this shortcode into your widget area, posts or pages

  • Paste the PHP code into your theme’s file
    • echo do_shortcode('[babe_currency_switcher]');
/wp-admin/widgets.php

Tips

The front-end widget is only displayed if two or more currencies have been activated. If only one currency is active, the switcher will be disabled and the site will look as a site with one currency.

It allows you to set back-end prices in main currency (say, USD $), show prices and process payments on the front-end in local currency, and update all prices easily on the back-end by changing the rate.
