How to default currency to shipping address

Hello

This code only works for checkout page, not for cart. Make please your attention here: https://c2n.me/44q55xV.png – https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/codes/iso3166/ – change “Canada” to “CA” – I think because of it $data[‘shipping_country’] gives wrong country, and by default USD is there

Hi RealMag777!

Thanks for the reply, ya I’ll give that a try I’ve been tweaking the code but to no avail. it keeps reverting to what shipping country you input first (ie. <GeoIP country set> or <if I allow you to choose a country from cart page>) the checkout currency will not change dependent of the shipping country selected.

Hey Support Forum!

I may have found a solution but it seems to have a few caveats:

• It doesn’t update by country it only changes with ZIP or State
• Seems to not work with Google autofill, must be typed in, or adjusted after autofill (I think clicking in the text box works)
• And I don’t really know what I’m doing just a trial and error ting

So, I was wondering if you knew if there was a way to clean up the code? and or make it function better. Do you know if anything I wrote would have problems with the plugin and or Woocommerce?

Hello

This code should not cause problems with this plugin and woocommerce. You can delete this line – https://c2n.me/44sg7B0.png and change this line – https://c2n.me/44sggry.png :

if (class_exists('WOOCS') AND is_checkout()) {

Also autofill doesn’t seem to create change, must be typed in? – it depends on this hook – https://c2n.me/44sgWOl.png – Unfortunately this plugin cannot change this.

Hi dkydev & RealMag777,

Thank you for sharing the code. I also wanted a similar feature. Using your code this is the custom plugin I have created. This works for me except for the limitations mentioned by dkydev. Which can be overcome by creating a custom hook using ajax.Hope it helps others.

Welcome!

I have multi-currencies in my shop usd eur aud cad and gbp using an interactive plugin “include with the theme” which adapt the currencies regarding the IP address, but I want to convert all the currencies to gbp at checkout via PayPal, to avoid expensive exchanges rates at PayPal
Is it possible to do that with your plugin
Thanks

Hey I was wondering if you could help me out.

You mentioned that:

And I still can’t figure out how to fix the currency not switching if using Google Autofill. How do you create custom hook ajax
