  • Works as intended

    A very basic lightweight plugin that works as intended. It could use a couple more features like adding currencies other than the defaults, as well as geo-location. This would make it excellent.

  • A good start

    The plugin is a good start as is has compared with other solutons no impact on loading time. There are currently (Jan 2021) to topics outstanding which limits the usage: a) if the base currency is EUR the decimal point is not used correct as EUR has a comma (,) instead of a dot (.) b) the switch uses for hard codes currencies (USD, EUR, INR, AUD) its possible to adjust this with the labels but the API call still uses the default values. I think to extend the plugin to allow to set the 4 currencies flexible would be a great step and should not be a big deal. Would appreciate! Even more if a) would be fixed. Overall I would like to encourage the developer to invest into this plugin as it has definitly some advantages over other available solutions.

  • Good idea and useful

    I really like your plugin and I have some feedbacks for your plugin. 1. It only support four currencies. : ( 2. It does not save the selected currency, when I refresh page, I will have to choose again. 3. In the future will you support Translatepress or WPML. Thank you so much.
