CAMPAIGN MULTI CURRENCY
Let Every Donor Give in Their Own Currency
Show supporters prices in the currency they already understand, accept donations in dozens of currencies, and report on everything in your home currency. No spreadsheets, no code.
Charitable Multi Currency lets you accept donations from supporters worldwide in their own local currency through automatic location detection, live exchange rates, and a one-click currency switcher… with built-in recurring support, per-campaign currency defaults, and seamless gateway conversion.
Reach Every Donor Globally
Most of your donors live somewhere your campaigns do not. A nonprofit in Boston has supporters in Berlin, London, and Tokyo, and asking each of them to do currency math at the donation form is the fastest way to lose a gift. Charitable Multi-Currency lets every visitor see and give in their own currency, pulls live exchange rates automatically, and keeps your reporting in one clean home-currency number. It runs entirely inside WordPress, with no SaaS subscription and no per-donation fees.
Key Features
- Currency switcher on every donation form, with suggested amounts that re-price instantly
- Automatic currency detection based on the donor’s location
- Live exchange rates pulled from a real rate API and cached daily
- Per-gateway currency controls, so the form only offers what your gateway supports
- Donor-currency persistence across reloads and return visits
- Built-in handling for zero-decimal currencies like JPY and KRW
- A Currency Breakdown report that shows the original currency, base amount, and rate used
- Cache-plugin friendly, with native support for WP Rocket and LiteSpeed
A Donor-First Experience, Right on the Form
The donor never leaves the page to think about currency. They pick their currency from a dropdown on the form, and the suggested amounts re-price in real time using current exchange rates. No reload, no mental math, no abandoned donation.
- 🌍 Auto-detected currency: a visitor from Germany lands on EUR pricing without lifting a finger.
- 🔄 Live re-pricing: switch currency and the $5 / $10 / $25 amounts convert instantly.
- 💾 Choice remembered: a donor who comes back later to finish still sees their currency.
- ✅ Zero-decimal aware: a 1,000 yen donation looks right on the form and at the gateway.
Set Up Supported Currencies in Minutes
In Charitable settings, flip on the currency switcher and choose which currencies your campaigns accept. Set your base currency, move the currencies you want into the active list, and you are done. The switcher appears on your donation forms automatically.
- ⚙️ Pick from dozens of currencies, grouped by region for quick selection.
- 🏠 Set one base currency that all reporting rolls up into.
- 🧩 No template editing, the switcher renders on shortcode, block, and visual forms.
Hands-Off, Always-Current Exchange Rates
Stop maintaining a spreadsheet of conversion rates. Multi-Currency fetches rates from a real exchange-rate API, caches them for a day to keep your site fast, and syncs them straight into your Charitable settings. You can also set a per-currency markup if you want to cover conversion costs.
- ⛽ Automatic refresh keeps every currency current.
- 📝 Per-currency markup lets you add a flat amount where it makes sense.
- 💡 One-click sync, no need to click Fetch and then Save Changes separately.
Currency That Matches the Donor’s Location
Multi-Currency uses the country signal from Charitable Geolocation to guess each visitor’s likely currency on their first visit. Supporters see relevant pricing immediately, and if a detected currency is not one you have enabled, the form falls back to your base currency cleanly.
- 🌐 One install, two features, geolocation powers automatic detection.
- 🎯 Smart fallback to your base currency for unsupported regions.
- 🙈 Donor stays in control, they can always switch currencies manually.
Per-Gateway Currency Control
Different payment gateways support different currencies. Decide which currencies each gateway handles. Let Stripe cover USD, EUR, and GBP while PayPal handles the long tail. The form only offers the donor the currencies their chosen gateway can actually process, so no donation ever fails on a currency mismatch.
- 💳 Map currencies to gateways the way your accounts are set up.
- 🛡️ No failed charges from unsupported currency and gateway combinations.
- 🔀 Works with the gateways you already use.
See Everything in Your Home Currency
Once donations are flowing in multiple currencies, you still need the whole picture in one number. The new Currency Breakdown report shows per-donation rows with the original currency, the converted base-currency amount, and the exact exchange rate used at the time of the gift. Every individual donation also records its original currency in the admin.
