Hello

Thank you for your interest in FOX - Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce!

I'll be happy to answer all your questions, but first I need to address an important compatibility concern.

⚠️ Critical Compatibility Issue

Your current system versions are outdated and no longer supported:

• WordPress 4.9.28 (released in 2018)
• WooCommerce 3.4.8 (released in 2018)

WOOCS minimum requirements:

• WordPress 6.0+
• WooCommerce 6.0+
• PHP 7.4+ (you have this ✓)

Why this matters:

WOOCS works as a WooCommerce extension and relies on modern WooCommerce functions and hooks. With such old versions, you will likely experience fatal errors because the plugin will try to call WooCommerce functions that don't exist in version 3.4.8.

Additionally, running WordPress 4.9 and WooCommerce 3.4 presents serious security vulnerabilities - these versions haven't received security updates in years.

📊 Your Questions (assuming you update to modern versions)

Once you update to current WordPress and WooCommerce versions, here are the answers:

Currency & Accounting Options

Option 1: Display in multiple currencies, payment in EUR only ✅ Yes! Enable this setting:

• Customers see prices in their local currency (USD, GBP, etc.)
• At checkout, everything converts back to EUR
• Payment is ALWAYS in EUR
• Perfect for accounting - all orders in one currency

Option 2: Accept payments in multiple currencies ✅ Yes! This works too:

• Customers can pay in any enabled currency
• Order data saves BOTH currencies: original payment currency AND EUR equivalent
• You can view orders in EUR by clicking "Convert to base currency" button in order details
• All order metadata preserves the original payment currency for accounting

WooCommerce Analytics & Reports

For multi-currency reports in WooCommerce Analytics (modern WooCommerce versions), you need to install additional code. Please read this article and implement the fix:

📖 https://currency-switcher.com/how-to-fix-woocommerce-analytics-reports-for-multi-currency-stores

This allows WooCommerce Analytics to properly consolidate multi-currency data into EUR for reporting.

Payment Gateway Compatibility (need test with the plugin installed on your site)

✅ Stripe - fully compatible ✅ PayPal - fully compatible
✅ Paysera - compatible ✅ TranslatePress - compatible

🆓 Free vs Pro Version

Free Version (https://currency-switcher.com/downloads):

• 2 currencies support

Pro Version (https://currency-switcher.com/downloads):

• ✅ Unlimited currencies support

Trial: You can test the free version first, then upgrade to Pro if needed.

🔧 My Recommendation

Step 1: UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM (critical!)

WordPress 4.9.28 → WordPress 6.4+
WooCommerce 3.4.8 → WooCommerce 8.0+

Important: Before updating:

1. Make a FULL BACKUP of your site
2. Test updates on a staging site first
3. Check all your plugins/themes compatibility
4. Your host (shared hosting with 256MB) may need upgrade too

Step 2: Install WOOCS Free Version

• Test functionality
• Configure "payment in EUR only" mode
• Verify compatibility with your setup

Step 3: Upgrade to Pro (if needed)

• If you need GeoIP or Fixed Prices features

⚙️ Configuration for Your Use Case

Based on your needs, I recommend this setup:

✓ Multiple allowed: NO (customers can browse in any currency but pay in EUR)
✓ Welcome currency: Based on GeoIP or user selection
✓ Payment currency: EUR (forced)
✓ Aggregator: Automatic rates (from ECB or other source)

This way:

• Customer from USA sees prices in USD
• Customer from UK sees prices in GBP
• At checkout: "Total: €XXX EUR" (automatically converted)
• Payment always in EUR
• Simple accounting - everything in EUR

📝 Summary

Can WOOCS do what you need? ✅ YES - perfectly suited for your requirements

Can you use it NOW? ❌ NO - not with WordPress 4.9 and WooCommerce 3.4

What to do:

1. Update WordPress and WooCommerce (essential for security anyway!)
2. Install free WOOCS version for testing
3. Configure "display in multiple currencies, pay in EUR only" mode
4. Upgrade to Pro if you need advanced features

P.S. Running WordPress 4.9 and WooCommerce 3.4 is a serious security risk. These versions have known vulnerabilities that are actively exploited. I strongly recommend updating as soon as possible, regardless of WOOCS installation.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried your free plugin, and it seems to be working well.

I would like customers to see prices in their local currency based on their location (IP) and to pay in that currency. In the Welcome Currency option, I can only choose currencies that are set in the Currencies section. I do not see options such as Based on GeoIP or User selection. Is this expected behavior?

My main concern is accounting. I would like to know whether sales reports are shown in my default currency. Will order details in the WooCommerce Orders section (and on invoices) also display the total amount in my default currency, alongside the currency chosen by the customer at checkout? Managing multiple currencies manually and checking exchange rates by date is too difficult for me.
