A few useful details
Good to know.
Easy to start.
Are all five blocks included for free?
Yes. The free, open-source plugin includes the exchange rates table, currency converter, rate card, Price Badge and ticker.
Can I use it without writing code?
Yes. Add a native Gutenberg block and configure it visually. Shortcodes are also available for placements that support them.
Can I choose a rate source or set my own rates?
The plugin has source-management tools and custom rates. Available currencies, deal types, update timing and history depend on the selected source. Choose the source appropriate to your content.
What does the Price Badge do?
It puts a primary price alongside conversions to selected currencies. Readers can open its details, or you can configure an expanded presentation in the block editor.
Does it convert checkout prices?
No. These are display and reference tools for your content. They do not change payment currencies or checkout totals.
Where do the data and history come from?
Rates are retrieved through the plugin’s configured external services and cached on your WordPress site. History availability depends on the source. See the plugin’s service and privacy information.
