Force currency at checkout

    I want to have the products displayed on the website in a certain currency and give the user the ability to switch between two currencies. However, Paypal only supports one of those two currencies (USD), does your plugin have the ability to force a certain currency at checkout even though a different one was used on the website?

    If the user tries to checkout with the unsupported Paypal currency then they will get an error, so I need to know if it’s possible to Force USD as the checkout currency regardless of what currency the user previously had set while browsing the store

    So after further testing the plugin I realized there’s a fundamental flaw in the “Is multiple allowed” feature.

    Right now if the option is set to “No” then it will use the default currency, however, the default currency is not the currency that will be used when adding prices for products. Let me explain:

    Product prices would be entered in the local currency (XCD), customers would be allowed to browse the store in XCD or USD, HOWEVER when they are checking out, the price should be changed to the USD price because PayPAL does not support XCD as a payment currency.

    If I set XCD as the default currency in the plugin…and set “Is multiple allowed” to No, then customers can only checkout in XCD which would fail. And if I set USD as the default currency, that means I’d have to always convert and enter the price in USD when adding the price for a product…

    Ideally, there should just be an option asking which Currency should be forced at checkout so I product prices can be entered in the local currency and the cart total can be converted on the checkout page

    Unfortunately the plugin didn’t seem fulfil the route issue, so I built a custom solution to do so: https://github.com/UVLabs/set-gateway-currency-for-woocommerce

    Simply allowing the site to be in one currency but sending the converted amount to the payment gateway.
