# Difference Between the Pro and Free Version

## Free vs Pro: what each version covers

The free and Pro versions of [Payment Gateway Currency for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/payment-gateways-by-currency-for-woocommerce/) have the same Convert Currency and Restrict Currency modes and options. The only difference is which gateways you can configure: Free covers Direct bank transfer, Check payments, Cash on delivery, PayPal, and WooCommerce PayPal Payments, while Pro covers any installed gateway, including Stripe.

### The one difference that matters

- **Free:** you can set currencies for the five standard WooCommerce gateways: Direct bank transfer (`bacs`), Check payments (`cheque`), Cash on delivery (`cod`), PayPal (`paypal`), and WooCommerce PayPal Payments (`ppcp-gateway`).
- **Pro:** you can set currencies for **any** payment gateway installed on your store, including Stripe, third-party PayPal integrations, local gateways, and any custom gateway.

For a gateway that Pro would unlock, the free version still shows the settings row but the fields are disabled.

### Feature comparison

| Feature | Free | Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Convert Currency mode (rates, symbols, decimals) | Standard gateways | Any gateway |
| Restrict Currency mode (allowed / denied) | Standard gateways | Any gateway |
| Automatic rates (ECB, Fixer.io, WPML) | Yes | Yes |
| Frontend info, Admin, Compatibility, Advanced sub-sections | Yes | Yes |
| WooCommerce Analytics recalculation | Yes | Yes |
| `[alg_wc_pgbc_product_price_table]` shortcode | Yes | Yes |

**In short:** if the gateway you want to control is one of the five standard ones, the free version is enough. For every other gateway, you need Pro.
