(4). Duration Dropdown: This is a dropdown that will allow you to select and enter the interval in minutes, hours, or days that the automatic update of exchange rates should run.
(5). Finance API: From version 3.2, YayCurrency introduces a new feature that allows users to choose their preferred Finance API. This update provides greater flexibility and control over how exchange rate data is retrieved, helping store owners optimize for accuracy, speed, or reliability depending on their needs.
(6). Finance API dropdown: This dropdown menu allows users to select a Finance API to use. The available options include: Default (Yahoo Finance), Google Finance, Yahoo Finance, Cuex, FawazCurrency, and Xe. You can choose the finance API that best fits your store’s needs, ensuring more accurate and reliable financial data based on your location or target market. Having multiple finance API options provides flexibility, enhances data accuracy, and allows businesses to switch providers easily if needed.
(7). Auto select currency by country: When you enable this option, it will automatically detects a visitor’s location and displays product prices in their local currency. This enhances the shopping experience by making it more personalized and convenient, helping increase customer trust and potentially boosting conversions.
(8). Currency: This column lists all the activated currencies.
(9). Countries: This column will allow you to select specific countries that you want a specific currency to display for.
(11). Display Notice: If you check this box, then your product page will show a defined notice to your customers informing them about their country and the currency they would get served with.
This can be defined using the available field shortcodes; %current-country% %current-currency% %current-currency-symbol%
In order to display this notice anywhere else on your website, you can also use this general shortcode at locations where shortcodes are recognized on your site. We have seen some users add this to a nice welcome pop-up on their site:
[yaycurrency-country-currency-notice]
[yaycurrency-flag]---> Current Country flag (if you want to change width, height--> add like this [yaycurrency-flag width="100px" height="100px"] otherwise leave it as default and apply 40px)
[yaycurrency-country]---> Current Country name
[yaycurrency-currency]---> Current Currency name
[yaycurrency-symbol]---> Current Symbol
(12). Show Approximate price: This option will displays an estimated product price in the visitor’s local currency alongside the store’s base currency. This helps customers better understand the cost in their own currency, reducing confusion and building confidence when shopping internationally.
