Sell in multiple currencies

To sell in multiple currencies with Qliro, 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 Qliro for WooCommerce. Throughout the guide, we’ll assume that you are a Sweden-based store that also wants to sell to customers in Finland.

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. It does not have a free version, but it includes certain settings that are not available in FOX.

This guide will show you how to:

  • Configure FOX Currency Switcher Professional for SEK and EUR
  • Enable Qliro for WooCommerce and ensure payments work in multiple currencies
  • Give you a quick look at Aelia Currency Switcher.

FOX Currency Switcher Professional

1. Requirements

You will need:

  • WooCommerce
  • FOX Currency Switcher Professional – read more here
  • WooCommerce BACS setup (for testing payments)
  • Qliro for WooCommerce (added later)

2. Enable Direct Bank Transfer (BACS)

Start by verifying that currency switching works before enabling Qliro.

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

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

3. Install FOX Currency Switcher Professional

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New
  2. Search for “FOX Currency Switcher Professional”
  3. Install and activate the plugin

The free version supports a maximum of two currencies – perfect for SEK + EUR. The paid Premium version enables you to add additional currencies.

4. Currency settings

4.1 Select selling countries and default currency

In our example, the store sells to both Sweden and Finland.
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.

4.2 Add SEK and EUR in FOX

Add both currencies in the FOX Currency Switcher settings and ensure they are enabled.

5. Display the currency switcher in the store

  1. Go to the plugin’s display settings
  2. Enable the side currency switcher or your preferred widget
  3. Save the settings

Your customers can now switch currencies in the store.

6. Test FOX with WooCommerce BACS

Perform test purchases in both SEK and EUR to confirm that currency switching works properly.

7. Install and activate Qliro for WooCommerce

Install Qliro for WooCommerce and configure the plugin for test purchases by following the Setup and Configuration documentation.

Since you’re planning to sell to customers in multiple countries, please make sure to enable the Country Selector in the Checkout configuration settings.

8. Test Qliro in SEK and EUR

Now you can perform test purchases in both SEK and EUR with Qliro, just like you did when testing BACS.

Aelia Currency Switcher

A strong alternative to Fox Currency Switcher is Aelia Currency Switcher. While it doesn’t offer a free version, it makes up for this with more advanced configuration options. One especially valuable feature is its ability to listen to the country selector and automatically switch currencies based on the selected market — meaning customers only need to change the country for both the country and currency to update seamlessly.
