A Currency Switcher widget allows users to change the displayed currency for prices and transactions. It enables them to choose from a list of supported currencies, view real-time conversions, set preferences, and ensures a consistent experience by updating prices. The widget is crucial for businesses catering to a global audience or targeting regions with different currencies, enhancing user experience and localization efforts.
The Currency Switcher widget encompasses all the currencies that have been previously set up. Navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Project Details to add the desired currencies, specify the default one, and follow the outlined steps to complete the configuration process.
