How to add Currency Switcher to the website

Currency Switcher provides 2 ways to add a module into the site content: with the help of widgets, shortcode and PHP code or using the Display Rules tab for each mode.

Display rules tab

Select the mode you want to add into the page and move to Display rules tab. Here you can find the next settings:

Show on – select the devices on which the panel should be displayed. You are able to show switcher only on mobile, on desktop or both.
Show on screen – if this option is enabled, the mode will be displayed only under the selected conditions, f.e: if the width of the screen is more or less than the specified width
Display everywhere – select “Enable” to display the panel on each page. Select disable and select pages from the lists on which you want to display the switcher.
Pages/ Product categories/ Custom post types– enable and select page or post from the list on which you want to display a switcher.

Save changes.

Shortcode and PHP code

In this tab, you can copy the shortcode and insert into the page or theme code to display a module.

You are able to add additional parameters to the shortcode:

'currency_display' => 'name', (name, title)
'show_as' => 'dropdown', (dropdown, flags)
'show_flag_dropdown' => false, (false, true)
'width' => '100%', 
'exclude' => array(), (CODE of Currency ex. UAH)
'show_on' => 'both', (both, desktops, mobiles)
'show_on_widths' => 0,
'show_on_screen_compare' => 'less', (less, more)
'show_on_widths_value' => ''

For example, if you need to display the converter as a dropdown with flags, add these parameters to the shortcode:

[woo -currency-switcher exclude='USD,GBP' show_as=dropdown show_flag_dropdown=true]
