# Force Currency for Specific Payment Methods

Force currency for specific payment method options ensures that certain payment methods in an eCommerce store (like WooCommerce) only accept payments in a specified currency. This function can be useful when specific payment gateways only support particular currencies or when you want to guide users to pay in a specific currency for certain payment methods.

Each payment method in the store is associated with a specific currency. For example, if you're using PayPal, you can force payments to be made only in **USD**, while Stripe may handle payments in **EUR**.

### Step 1: Enable Force Currency for Specific Payment Method Function

After installing and activating the YayCurrency plugin, go to **YayCommerce > YayCurrency** in your WordPress dashboard. 

First of all, ensure that you have already selected your desired currencies in the **Manage Currency** tab.

When you’ve done that, move to the **Checkout Options** tab to configure the settings. To enable this function, simply switch the toggle button next to it.

### Step 2: Set Currency for Each Specific Payment Method

Here, you can see a list of payment methods available in your store.&#x20;

For each payment method, select the desired currency from the dropdown input field. By doing this, you can force a specific currency for each payment method without needing any coding.

### Step 3: Test the Configuration

Let's see how it works.

When selecting 'Direct Bank Transfer,' the payment currency should be US dollars (**USD**).&#x20;

For 'Check Payments' or 'Cash on Delivery,' the payment currency should be euros (**EUR**).
