There you control the order page conversion box and its recalculate and convert buttons, an original total column, admin decimals, symbols, order total format and Analytics. All options are free. [![Convert Currency Admin options](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/pasted-image-0-121-1024x444.png)](https://wpfactory.com/wp-content/uploads/pasted-image-0-121.png) ## Where to find it Go to **WPFactory > Payment Gateway Currency** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Payment Gateway Currency**), then open the **Admin** sub-tab under Convert Currency. All Admin options are free and only work while **Convert currency** is enabled on the main Convert Currency sub-tab. ## What each option does - **Order page** adds a **Currency Conversion** box to the side of the edit order screen for converted orders. It shows the used rate (for example "Used USDEUR rate"), the **Original total** in your shop currency, whether shipping, coupons and fees were converted, and the current rate. - **Add recalculate button** adds **Recalculate with new rate** to that box, which reprices the order with today's rate. There is no undo. - **Add convert button** adds **Convert order to [currency]** for orders that were not converted, for example orders created before you set up conversion, when the order's gateway has a rate and a different currency. There is no undo. - **Orders list: Original total** adds an **Original total** column with the unconverted amount. - **Number of decimals in admin** and **Currency symbol in admin** apply the gateway's **Number of decimals** and **Currency symbol** settings on admin screens, not only on the storefront. - **Order total in admin** replaces how order totals are printed in the admin with your format, for example `%order_total% (%order_total_original%)` to show both amounts. ## Options | Label | Option ID | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | Order page (meta box) | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_order_meta_box` | Yes | | Add recalculate button | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_order_meta_box_recalculate` | No | | Add convert button | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_order_meta_box_convert` | No | | Orders list: original total | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_orders_list_total` | No | | Number of decimals in admin | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_num_decimals` | No | | Currency symbol in admin | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_symbol` | No | | Order total in admin | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_order_total` | No | | Order total format | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_order_total_format` | `%order_total% %currency%` | | Analytics: Orders and Revenue | `alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_analytics_orders_and_revenue` | No | ## Order total format placeholders Used by the **Order total in admin** field: - `%order_total%`: the converted order total. - `%currency%`: the gateway's currency code. - `%currency_symbol%`: the gateway's currency symbol. - `%convert_price_rate%`: the conversion rate applied. - `%order_total_original%`: the original (unconverted) order total. ## WooCommerce Analytics Enable **Orders and Revenue** to recalculate Analytics figures using each order's conversion rate. If numbers do not refresh, clear the Analytics cache from **WooCommerce > Status > Tools**. ## Set it up 1. Open **WPFactory > Payment Gateway Currency > Convert Currency > Admin**. 2. Keep **Order page** on, and tick **Add recalculate button** or **Add convert button** only if your team needs them. 3. Tick **Orders list: Original total** if you reconcile payments in your shop currency. 4. Optionally enable **Order total in admin** and edit the format. 5. Click **Save changes** and open a converted order to check the box. ## If it does not work - **Convert currency** is off on the main sub-tab. None of the Admin options run without it. - The order was not converted by the plugin, so the box shows "No data." (or only the convert button, if enabled). - The **Recalculate with new rate** button is missing although enabled. It is hidden when **WooCommerce Subscriptions: Recalculate renewal orders** is on in Compatibility. - The box or the Original total column does not show on your Orders screen. These options hook into the classic, post-based order screens (`shop_order`), so they may not appear on the High-Performance Order Storage orders page. Contact support if you use HPOS. ## FAQ ### Can I see the original shop-currency total of a converted order? Yes. It is in the **Currency Conversion** box as **Original total**, and you can add it as a column with **Orders list: Original total** or print it with `%order_total_original%`. ### Can I convert an old order after the fact? Yes. Enable **Add convert button**. The button appears on orders that were not converted, when their gateway has a conversion rate and uses a different currency. ### Are these options Pro? No. All Admin options are free. The only Pro difference in Payment Gateway Currency is which gateways you can set a currency for.
