GiveWP Currency Switcher

Description

The Currency Switcher add-on adds a currency selector to the GiveWP donation form, allowing each donor to choose which currency they want to contribute in before completing the payment. The extension converts values in real time according to the rates configured in the panel, displays the correct currency symbol for the selected currency at checkout, and records each transaction in the original currency along with the equivalent in the store’s base currency, keeping reports consistent for organizations that raise funds across multiple countries.

Key Features

• Selector in the donation form
  Adds a currency dropdown within the GiveWP form visible to the donor.
• Automatic value conversion
  Recalculates the suggested and custom amounts based on the currency selected by the visitor.
• Configurable exchange rates
  Lets you manually set the rate between each additional currency and the store’s base currency.
• Currency-specific formatting
  Applies the correct symbol, separators, and positioning for each currency enabled in the panel.
• Dual-currency recording

Benefits of the Currency Switcher

• Expanded international reach
  Receive contributions from donors outside the country without requiring manual conversion calculations.
• Localized checkout experience
  Shows amounts in the donor’s familiar currency, reducing checkout abandonment.
• Consistent financial reporting
  Keeps consolidated records in the base currency, simplifying reporting.

Who Is It For?

• NGOs and foundations with donor bases across multiple countries.
• Fundraising platforms focused on international campaigns.
• Religious organizations, missions, and social projects with a global presence.

For donation sites that need to engage audiences in more than one country, the Currency Switcher solves the friction of manual conversion and the donor’s uncertainty when dealing with a foreign currency. Integrated into GiveWP’s native flow, the module combines currency selection, automatic conversion, and unified accounting in the base currency, supporting fundraising operations that run simultaneously across different regions.
