Sell in multiple currencies

Last modified:

To sell in multiple currencies, you need a currency switcher plugin. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to get started with selling in SEK and EUR using Nexi Checkout for WooCommerce. Throughout the guide, we’ll assume that you are a Sweden-based store that also wants to sell to customers in Germany.

We use FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce (free), which supports two currencies – ideal for SEK and EUR. You can add more currencies in the Premium version.

Another common option is Aelia Currency Switcher.

This guide will show you how to:

  • Configure FOX Currency Switcher Professional for SEK and EUR
  • Enable Nexi Checkout for WooCommerce and ensure payments work in multiple currencies

1. Requirements

You will need:

  • WooCommerce
  • FOX Currency Switcher Professional – read more here
  • WooCommerce BACS setup (for testing payments)
  • Nexi Checkout for WooCommerce (added later)
  • Nexi accounts enabled for both SEK and EUR

2. Enable Direct Bank Transfer (BACS)

Start by verifying that currency switching works before enabling Nexi Checkout.

Activate Direct Bank Transfer (BACS) in WooCommerce and confirm that currency switching works correctly. Once this is verified, you can enable the Nexi Checkout plugin. This approach makes troubleshooting easier.

Go to WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Take offline payments and set up Direct bank transfer.

In our example, the store sells to both Sweden and Germany.
WooCommerce only supports one default currency, which in this case is SEK.

You set this under WooCommerce → Settings → General and scroll down to Currency options.

FOX can automatically select a currency based on the visitor’s location using GeoIP.

8. Install and activate Nexi Checkout for WooCommerce

Set up Nexi Checkout for test purchases by following this documentation.

9. Confirm that Nexi is available for Sweden and Germany

Make sure your Nexi agreements include the countries and currencies you want to sell in.

Get in touch with Nexi to verify that your Nexi agreement permits sales to your intended countries and currencies.

10. Test Nexi in SEK and EUR

Perform test purchases in both SEK and EUR with Nexi as your payment method to confirm that currency switching works properly for Nexi Checkout.
