Info and Admin: showing conversion to shoppers and staff #

Within Convert Currency, Payment Gateway Currency for WooCommerce has two display areas: Info for the storefront and emails, and Admin for the WordPress dashboard. Both apply once conversion is enabled, and both work in the free version for the standard gateways.

Convert Currency Frontend Info options

Info (frontend) #

  • Frontend info (alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_show_info, default No): show the used rate and converted or original prices in the cart, checkout, order details, and emails.
  • Positions (alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_info_hooks): choose exactly where the info appears.
  • Templates and Extra templates: customize the output per position and per context (Cart or AJAX / mini-cart), using placeholders such as %price%, %unconverted_price%, %convert_rate%, and %convert_currency%.

Full details are in Displaying conversion rates on the frontend.

Admin (backend) #

Convert Currency Admin options

  • Order page (alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_order_meta_box, default Yes): a meta box on the edit-order screen showing the rate used for that order.
  • Add recalculate button and Add convert button (both default No): add “Recalculate with new rate” and “Convert order” actions to that meta box.
  • Orders list: original total (alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_orders_list_total, default No): add an unconverted-total column to the Orders list.
  • Currency symbol in admin and Number of decimals in admin (both default No): apply the gateway’s symbol and decimals inside the dashboard too.
  • Order total in admin (alg_wc_pgbc_convert_currency_admin_order_total, default No): a custom admin total format, default %order_total% %currency%.

Free or Pro? The Info and Admin options themselves are not Pro-gated. The only thing Pro unlocks in this plugin is the ability to configure gateways beyond the five standard ones. See the full Admin walkthrough in Convert Currency Admin options.
