Can I run YayCurrency and WC Currency Switch at the same time?
We don't recommend it. Two currency plugins will both try to convert prices. Set up WC Currency Switch on a staging copy, then deactivate YayCurrency when you go live.
Will my past orders change?
No. WooCommerce saves the currency on each order, so orders placed with YayCurrency keep their currency and totals.
Is there a free version of WC Currency Switch?
No. Instead, every plan includes every feature, and you can try the live demo on our homepage before you buy.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If WC Currency Switch isn't right for your store, ask within 14 days for a full refund.
