10 Best Multi-Currency WordPress Plugins (Free + Paid)

Multi-Currency WordPress Plugins

Customers convert prices to their own currency mentally anyway, showing prices in their actual currency just removes a step, and the friction it removes shows up as fewer abandoned carts. The plugins below cover this from different angles: full multilingual/multicurrency suites, WooCommerce-specific switchers, and standalone conversion widgets.

10 Multi-Currency Plugins for WordPress

1. WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce

Formerly sold as “WooCommerce Multilingual,” now folded into WPML‘s own naming. Custom exchange rates, currency switching by location or language, and full store translation in one plugin. Active, v5.5.6, updated within the last two months.

2. WPML

WPML itself, the broader translation plugin behind #1, is worth listing separately if you need multilingual content beyond just the store, pages, posts, custom post types, and menus, alongside WooCommerce currency support.

3. CURCY (formerly Multi-Currency for WooCommerce)

CURCY, formerly Multi-Currency for WooCommerce

VillaTheme’s plugin has been renamed CURCY. Free version covers 2 currencies, premium (via Envato) adds unlimited currencies and geolocation. Active, v2.2.15, 20k+ installs. One caveat worth passing along: a verified user review reports payment-gateway currency mismatches with PayPal and Apple Pay on the premium version, worth testing thoroughly on staging before relying on it for live transactions.

4. WooCommerce Currency Switcher (Automattic/WooCommerce.com)

The original version of this post linked “Currency Switcher for WooCommerce” (Aelia) here; Aelia’s actual switcher is covered separately below (#10) since it’s sold directly rather than through WooCommerce.com. WooCommerce’s own official currency switcher extension is available through the WooCommerce.com marketplace with custom exchange rates and a frontend switcher widget.

5. Currency Converter Widget

Currency Converter Widget is a simple, standalone conversion tool, a dropdown widget showing converted prices, not tied to WooCommerce checkout. Free, active, v4.0.1, updated within the last two months. Good for informational conversion; not a substitute for a real WooCommerce multi-currency plugin if you need to process payments in multiple currencies.

6. Price Based on Country for WooCommerce

Renamed from “WooCommerce Price Based on Country.” Sets different prices per country rather than converting a single price, and can restrict product visibility by region for compliance purposes. Active, v4.3.3, updated within the last few weeks.

7. CurrencyConverter

A lightweight, standalone currency conversion widget supporting real-time rates from multiple data sources. Free, active, v0.5.5, updated recently for PHP 8.3 compatibility. Functionally similar to #5, pick whichever fits your site’s design better.

8. Dev49.net’s Currency Tools

The original version of this post recommended “PayPal Multi-Currency Converter” here; that specific product no longer appears on Dev49.net’s current lineup. The developer now sells WooCommerce All in One Currency Converter and WooCommerce Ultimate Multi Currency Suite instead, worth checking directly if you need this specific developer’s approach to currency conversion.

9. Advanced Currency Management for WooCommerce

WP Wham‘s plugin adds custom exchange rates, rounding rules, and MaxMind-powered geolocation for automatic currency detection by customer location, supporting over 170 currencies.

10. Aelia Currency Switcher for WooCommerce

Aelia Currency Switcher supports 180+ currencies with geolocation detection, custom rounding rules, and per-currency pricing. Active, current pricing €99/year for a single site, with a 14-day trial and 30-day money-back guarantee.

Reign BuddyPress Theme

Picking One

Already running WPML for translation: use its bundled WooCommerce currency support (#1) rather than adding a second plugin. WooCommerce-only, no translation need: CURCY’s free tier or Aelia if you need the extra reliability of a paid, dedicated tool. Just want an informational price display, not real multi-currency checkout: Currency Converter Widget or CurrencyConverter, either works.
