Easy Digital Downloads Multi-Currency

Description

The Multi-Currency addon adds support for over 200 currencies to Easy Digital Downloads, displaying a selection widget (button or dropdown) in the store and automatically detecting each visitor’s local currency. The prices of downloads and checkout are recalculated in real-time according to manually defined or automatically updated exchange rates (every hour, twice a day, daily, or weekly), eliminating dependence on an external conversion plugin.

Main Features

• Currency selector widget
  Displays available currencies in a button or dropdown format on the store’s front-end.
• Automatic location detection
  Identifies the visitor’s local currency and applies it as default, with an option for forced fixation.
• Automatic exchange rate updates
  Synchronizes rates at configurable intervals: hourly, twice a day, daily, or weekly.
• Support for 200+ global currencies
  Covers a broad catalog of international currencies for global sales without geographical limitations.
• Migration from Aelia Currency Switcher
  Imports settings from the Currency Switcher by Aelia plugin without requiring reconfiguration from scratch.

Benefits of Multi-Currency

• Savings on conversion fees
  Dispenses with gateway intermediation for conversion, avoiding around 3% transaction fee.
• Localized buying experience
  The customer sees the final price in their own currency, reducing abandonment at international checkout.
• Native solution without extra plugins
  Works within Easy Digital Downloads itself, without dependence on third-party extensions.
• Consistent pricing throughout the flow
  The chosen value remains from the product page to order confirmation.

For Whom is it Indicated?

• Digital product sellers serving clients in different countries.
• EDD stores that want to offer prices in local currencies without depending on an external plugin.
• International operations seeking to reduce gateway payment conversion fees.
• Businesses migrating from Aelia Currency Switcher and needing to preserve their current configuration.

Geared towards digital stores with an international audience, the addon resolves the friction of currency conversion by delivering localized prices from the storefront to checkout. The native integration with Easy Digital Downloads, combined with automatic rate updates and compatibility with Aelia migration, positions the component as a central piece in the operation of any EDD store that sells outside its country of origin.
