# How to Set a Different Currency for WooCommerce Affiliate Products

To set a different currency for WooCommerce affiliate products, use [Multiple External Products URLs & Currencies for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/advanced-external-products-for-woocommerce/): go to **WPFactory > Advanced External Products > Currency** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced External Products > Currency**), enable **All products** and pick the currency. External products then show prices in that currency.

**Note:** the plugin changes the currency code and symbol only. It does not convert prices. Enter the external product's price in the currency you choose, for example the USD price shown on the merchant's site.

## Set one currency for all external products (free)

1. Go to **WPFactory > Advanced External Products > Currency** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced External Products > Currency**).
2. Make sure **Currency** (Enable section) is checked. It is on by default.
3. Next to **All products**, check **Enable**.
4. In the currency list below it, choose the currency, for example **United States (US) dollar**.
5. Click **Save changes**.
6. Edit your external products and enter their prices in that currency.

## Set the currency per product (Pro)

1. Go to **WPFactory > Advanced External Products > Currency** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced External Products > Currency**).
2. Next to **Per product**, check **Enable** and click **Save changes**.
3. Edit an external product. On the **General** tab of the **Product data** box, choose a currency in the new **Currency** field.
4. Click **Update**.

Leave the field on **Default** to use the **All products** currency (if enabled) or the store currency.

## Which currency wins

| Order | Rule |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | Per product currency (Pro), when set on the product |
| 2 | All products currency, when enabled |
| 3 | Your store currency from **WooCommerce > Settings > General** |

## Customize the currency symbol (free)

Use **Currency symbol** to change how the symbol looks on external products, for example to show `US$` or the code instead of a bare `$`.

1. Go to **WPFactory > Advanced External Products > Currency** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced External Products > Currency**).
2. Next to **Currency symbol**, check **Enable**.
3. Enter a template in the field below. Placeholders: `%currency_symbol%` (the normal symbol) and `%currency_code%` (for example USD). Examples: `US%currency_symbol%` shows US$; `%currency_code%` shows the code (for example USD) instead of the symbol.
4. Click **Save changes**.

The symbol template applies to all external products, whatever currency they use.

## FAQ

### Will customers pay in this currency?

External products are bought on the merchant's site, not in your cart, so the currency here is for display only. Customers pay on the site the buy button links to.

### Does the plugin convert my prices with exchange rates?

No. It changes the currency code and symbol shown next to the price. Enter the price in the target currency.

### Why don't I see the Currency field on my product?

The field is a Pro feature. It appears after **Per product** is enabled and only on products saved as **External/Affiliate product**.

### Can I show different currencies for products in the same list?

Yes. The currency is decided per product, so on a shop page each external product shows its own currency while other products keep the store currency.

### Get more control

This feature is free. [External Products URLs & Currencies](https://wpfactory.com/item/advanced-external-products-for-woocommerce/) Pro adds a per-product currency field, so each affiliate product can use its merchant's currency.
