# Displaying Conversion Rates on the Frontend

## Show conversion rates and prices to customers

To display conversion rates on the frontend with [Payment Gateway Currency for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/payment-gateways-by-currency-for-woocommerce/), go to WPFactory > Payment Gateway Currency > Convert Currency > Info, tick Frontend info, choose where the info appears in Positions, such as cart totals, checkout, order details, or emails, and save. Custom templates and exceptions are optional.

### Where to find it

Go to **WPFactory > Payment Gateway Currency** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Payment Gateway Currency**), then open the **Info** sub-tab under Convert Currency.

### Turn it on and pick positions

1. Tick **Frontend info** (`alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_show_info`, default `No`).
2. In **Positions** (`alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_info_hooks`) choose where the info appears. Available positions include Cart product price, Cart product subtotal, Cart subtotal, Cart totals (Coupons, Shipping, Fees, Taxes), Cart total, Checkout after order total, Order product subtotal, Order subtotal, Order totals (Discount, Shipping, Fees, Taxes), Order total, Email after order details, and Single product summary.
3. Save. The Positions choice is affected by the **Convert on** setting in the General sub-tab.

### Templates and exceptions

- **Templates** (`alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_info_hooks_custom_templates`): select the positions you want a custom template for. After saving, editable template fields appear in the **Custom Templates** section.
- **Extra templates** (`alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_info_hooks_extra_template[{scope}]`): set a different template for the Cart or AJAX (mini-cart) rendering of a position.
- **Exceptions** (`alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_info_hooks_exceptions[{scope}]`): hide selected positions on the Cart, Checkout, or AJAX context.

### Template placeholders

Price positions accept these placeholders; general positions accept the last three only.

| Placeholder | Value |
| --- | --- |
| `%price%` | The converted price, in the gateway's currency. |
| `%unconverted_price%` | The original price, in the shop currency. |
| `%convert_rate%` | The conversion rate applied. |
| `%convert_currency%` | The gateway's currency code. |
| `%shop_currency%` | The shop's default currency code. |

For the full per-position placeholder list and the default templates, see [Frontend info placeholders and templates reference](https://wpfactory.com/docs/frontend-info-placeholders-and-templates-reference/). The Single product summary position outputs the `[alg_wc_pgbc_product_price_table]` shortcode, covered in [the product price table shortcode](https://wpfactory.com/docs/product-price-table-shortcode/).

### Compatibility option

**WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing & Discounts** (`alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_info_compatibility_rp_wcdpd`, default `No`): enable this to stop that RightPress plugin from also printing a cart product price when you display info there.
