From the developer
Fulvio Notarstefano's own description of WP Currencies, lightly tidied.
WP Currencies uses openexchangerates.org to pull currency data and currency exchange rates in WordPress.
The currencies and their exchange rates will be periodically updated at intervals set from the WordPress dashboard by an administrator.
The plugin is intended for developers that want to access currencies data and currency exchange rates from within WordPress and perform basic currency rates conversions. WP Currencies comes with a functions library to retrieve currency data and exchange rates as PHP arrays or json objects in ajax calls.
Furthermore, it extends JSON REST WP API with new routes, and, if you use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), WP Currencies will also add a new “Currency” field for use in ACF.
If you use WPML and have both WooCommerce and WooCommerce MultiLingual installed, you can use this plugin to filter WCML currency rate using one of their hooks and update rates on the fly.
Important – You will need an API key from http://www.openexchangerates.org/ to pull currency data and make this plugin work properly (either choose the forever free plan or one of their premium subscriptions).
