What is X-Currency?

X-Currency is a WooCommerce currency switcher plugin that helps online stores sell to international customers by displaying prices in their local currency. The plugin automatically detects visitor location via IP-based geolocation and switches currencies accordingly, creating a localized shopping experience. It supports over 160 currencies including fiat and cryptocurrencies, with real-time exchange rate updates from multiple providers like Open Exchange Rates, Currencylayer, and Fixer.io. Store owners can also set manual exchange rates and configure automatic updates at custom intervals. The free version supports up to three currencies, while the pro version unlocks unlimited currencies and advanced features. Key capabilities include a customizable currency switcher widget that can be placed via shortcode, menu integration, or widget areas, with options to display country flags alongside currency codes. The plugin offers flexible checkout modes allowing store owners to enable or disable specific currencies at checkout, smart price rounding rules for converted prices, and payment gateway restrictions by currency. With a 4.8/5 rating on WordPress.org, X-Currency is the highest-rated currency switcher available, though its 19 reviews represent a small sample. For WooCommerce stores needing multi-currency support, the free version is a solid starting point for up to 3 currencies. For more currencies and advanced features, the Pro version at $16/year is affordable. For stores needing more established community support, Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has a larger install base.
