Cart currency not updated when customer logs in

    Hello,

    This is a WooCommerce based shop using Storefront theme, it uses WPML for multilanguage and multicurrency.
    The base currency for the shop is CAD $, and based on geolocation the currency are automatically select to USD $ for the United States or EUR € for Euro countries, no currency switcher is available to the customers, they will see the currency based on his geolocation or in the billing country when they log in.

    Quite all are running as expected except for the ‘cart’ on the right side of the header. Based on geolocation the currency here is ok, but when a customer with billing address in a country that uses a different currency logs on, the currency of cart is not updated but the shop currency yes.

    Let’s explain with an example:
    A Canadian customer that is traveling in the US see when not logged in, the currency in the shop and in the Cart as USD $, then this customer logs in and the currency on the shop automatically changes to CAD $ but the currency showed in the Cart is still USD $ instead of CAD $.
    If later the customer selects something from the shop and adds it to the Cart, then the Cart shows the amount using the right currency (in this case CAD $).

    This is confusing behavior, can you please help me to show the right currency of the customer on the Cart when he logs in?

    May be can I use some hook or filter when user logs on?

    I have reported this issue first to WPML, and they say that this is a Storefront problem.

    I’ve reported too to Storefront, but they say that is a WooCommerce problem

    Now I will ask you, who can really is responsible for that and can give a solution or workaround adding some code if necessary when a customer logs on using any hook or filter?

    Many thanks in advance for your help,

    Robert

  • Hey @uidb4056,

    I know this has been open for a while so you may have found a resolution for this already. The multiple currencies are added by WPML so they’ll be the ones to handle any issues with that feature. Since that’s not a part of WooCommerce, it’s not something we’re able to help out with or even knowledgeable about.

    Take care

    Hello,

    Yes, I’m found a solution disabling WooCommerce Multicurrency and installing Currency Converter Widget.

    However, I’m not happy with the support of WPML, WooCommerce and Storefront about this issue.

    Thanks anyway for your help and best regards,

    Robert

    Hey @uidb4056,

    Sorry that your support experience did not meet your expectations. The hardest part of providing support is where products from different companies meet. It’s difficult to know who to ask and it’s easy to get caught between two different support systems. I know that’s a difficult place to be and I’m sorry if you found yourself there.

    I am glad you found a solution.

    If you have made any purchases from WooCommerce.com, you can always open up a chat or an email ticket at this URL:

    https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/

    That does give you much quicker support. Support in the forums is limited since we do have to help the customers who have made purchases first.

    If there is anything we can do in the future, just let us know.

    Thanks

    Mirko P.
