I want my customers to shop with ease using their default currency based on their Geo-Location. However, on checkout, I want to force the currency change from whatever they were using to my default currency which is Leones, as this is the only currency my payment gateway supports.

How do I achieve that please, as I have no idea what the currency code for leones is? Is it SLL, LE, SLE? The country is"Sierra Leone".

Please help with the instructions on how to achieve this. I saw this on the Q&A, how do I customize it to work as I have explained?

 

How to force any currency on the checkout page

Sometimes its necessary force on checkout page any currency by logic of business.

  • open functions.php of the current wp theme and drop there next script:
  • add_filter('wp_head',function(){    
    if(is_checkout()){
        global $WOOCS;
        $WOOCS->set_currency('USD');
    }
});
  • Change ‘USD‘ to any currency you need …

Notice: works only when “Is multiple allowed” option is enabled (Yes).

I added this code to the functions.php of my theme. It worked for some time then stopped later. It still shows USD on checkout. Site ( https://supportingafricanaid.org.sl/ )

I also added the same code to the plugin"Snippets" and activated nothing still works.

  • add_filter('wp_head',function(){    
    if(is_checkout()){
        global $WOOCS;
        $WOOCS->set_currency('SLL');
    }
});

Continuing from my previous post, I tried updating the currency to"SLE". This is the new currency accepted in the country.

when the currency changes at checkout, and after clicking on place order it shows"invalid currency."

  • add_filter('wp_head',function(){    
    if(is_checkout()){
        global $WOOCS;
        $WOOCS->set_currency('SLE');
    }
});

The license code has been attached. Hopefully, it is not a problem from Woocoomerce itself.

Hello

Ok! Try  in  file  - \wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\includes\wc-core-functions.php - add  code - https://c2n.me/4hFYr2y.png

'SLE' => __( 'Sierra Leonean leone', 'woocommerce' ),

and  do a test
