Getting Started & Usage

Currency converter vs multi-currency checkout on Wix

A currency converter and a multi-currency checkout are not the same thing. A converter helps visitors understand approximate prices on the page. A multi-currency checkout controls how payment is displayed or processed during purchase.

Use a converter when

  • Visitors need price estimates before checkout.
  • You sell fixed packages or services.
  • You want lightweight price clarity.
  • You do not need to change store payment behavior.

Use multi-currency checkout when

  • Your ecommerce setup supports it.
  • Customers must pay in their local currency.
  • You manage international pricing more deeply.
  • Checkout experience is a major conversion issue.

Best combined setup

Many sites can use both: a converter for early price understanding and checkout settings for final payment clarity. The key is telling visitors when a conversion is only an estimate.

Decision checklist

  • Do visitors ask about price in local currency?
  • Do you sell internationally?
  • Does checkout support the currencies visitors expect?
  • Do you need estimates or true local pricing?
