Key Features of the GiveWP Currency Switcher Addon

1. GeoLocation-Based Currency Switching
   • The add-on automatically detects a donor’s location and sets the appropriate currency based on their country using MaxMind’s GeoLite data. This ensures that donors from different regions can donate in their local currency without confusion.
2. Multi-Currency Interface
   • The Currency Switcher integrates with GiveWP’s intuitive interface, making it easy for donors to switch currencies. This feature is optimized for all devices, including mobile, tablet, and desktop.
3. Automatic Exchange Rate Updates
   • Automatically update exchange rates through leading exchange rate APIs, ensuring that your donation forms reflect the most accurate and up-to-date rates for each currency.
4. Custom Set Currency Rates
   • If you prefer to have more control over currency amounts, you can manually set and adjust exchange rates. This is particularly useful for multi-level donation forms or when you want to ensure rounded donation amounts across currencies.
5. Granular Gateway Control
   • Some payment gateways support only specific currencies. With the Currency Switcher add-on, you can set which currencies are accepted for each payment gateway, both globally and per donation form. This feature ensures that you can fine-tune your currency settings according to the capabilities of each gateway.
6. Extensive Add-On Compatibility
   • The Currency Switcher add-on is fully compatible with other GiveWP add-ons, allowing you to use it seamlessly alongside other features like recurring donations, peer-to-peer fundraising, and more.
7. Customizable Per Form Settings
   • You can choose to enable currency switching for all donation forms or just for specific ones. This flexibility allows you to tailor the user experience based on your needs.
8. Saved Currency Preferences
   • When a donor is logged in, their preferred currency will be saved for future visits, ensuring a personalized experience every time they return to make a donation.

Additional Highlights

• Extensive Currency Support:
  • Choose from over 100+ currencies for your donors to select from, allowing you to cater to a global audience.
• Customizable Text:
  • Modify the text that appears when a donor switches currencies. You can use template tags to display the base currency, new currency, and the exchange rate, offering a more tailored experience.
• Custom Exchange Rates:
  • Lock in a specific exchange rate if you prefer not to have it automatically updated. This gives you the ability to control rates manually based on your preferences.
