Create a Multi-Currency Payment Form #

From your WordPress dashboard go to Form > Add New.

Select a template and give the form a title.

Now, let’s add the necessary fields to our form.

  1. Add a Product field: Click on the “Product” field option and drag it onto your form. This field will be the product that the customer can purchase.
  2. Add a Currency Switcher field: Click on the “Currency Switcher” field and drag it onto your form. This field will enable users to choose their preferred currency for payment.
  3. Add a Total field: From the Pricing Fields section in the right sidebar, select the “Total” field and drag it onto your form. This field will display the total amount to be paid based on the selected product and currency.

Click on the Product field and enter a price for the product.

First, select the currency field. Next, decide on which currency mode to use, either Automatic or Manual.

In Automatic mode, the exchange rate will be fetched automatically through the OpenExchangeRate API. If you choose Manual mode, you can manually set the price of each product in each currency.

After that, select the currencies. You have the option to select All currencies or pick specific currencies by selecting the Specific Currencies radio button.

Entering Product Prices in Each Currency [Manual Mode Only] #

If you have selected the Manual Currency Mode, you will need to specify the price of product fields in all selected currencies. To do this, select the product field and enter the prices in each currency from the Multi-currency Manual Prices section on the right sidebar.

Lastly, save the form. Then, add the form to a page and navigate to the front end to view it. If you have followed the instructions correctly, you should now have a fully operational multi-currency form.
