The WooCommerce Multicurrency Product Base Price plugin is meant to let store owners have the privilege of entering the product base price in their preferred currency, irrespective of what the store currency is. The plugin can perform the needed price conversion calculation on your behalf.

This plugin can simplify things for the stores that buy/import their products from vendors residing/operating in different countries. Using it, you won’t have to follow the hefty ‘convert and enter price’ procedure for your store anymore.

This means – Your team will be free to do other essential tasks, while the complaints or low sales regarding incorrect calculations won’t trouble you anymore.

Using the WooCommerce Multicurrency Product Base Price plugin, you can:

• Add multiple currencies for product base pricing;
• Select different currencies for product base price per product;
• Enter product base price in your preferred currency;
• Automate the conversion of product base price into the store’s default/current currency.
• Set the exchange rate manually or use automated updates through Booster’s Currency Exchange Rates plugin!

Note: This Booster plugin lets you enter product base prices in various currencies. If you want to display product prices to your buyers in multiple currencies, that’s a different thing. Refer to Booster’s WooCommerce Multicurrency Switcher plugin instead.
