currency converter

[Raymond621]

I enabled the currency converter under Alidropship>settings>general
Added Pounds, Auz, Euro, and USD
Checked google geolocation to determine customer's currency by IP
Saved changes

I don't see anywhere on my website you can change currency. I clicked on the "Help" tab. It looks like the currency switcher should be displayed at the top right of your own website. I can't find it. Is there something I am doing incorrectly?

It's a widget. You have to place it yourself.

got the currency converter worked... but how do I add currency prefix beside my prices? For example, US dollar should show US beside the price and Canadian dollar should show CAD beside the dollar sign. Currently, both settings are just showing "$". I am using flatsome theme.

I also noticed that if I choose CAD and checkout from my store, paypal is still showing USD price. Maybe this is a paypal setting?

No. It shouldn't. Why should it? The Converter widget itself shows what the currency is. Do local brick and mortar stores have CAD$25.00 on the price tags? No, they don't. Don't worry. It's normal.

I am using flatsome theme.

Me too. Try this extra CSS to make it look nicer ... (paste it into Appearance>Customise>Additional CSS) You may have to adjust sizes etc depending where you put it. I reccomend pasting the shortcode [adsw_currency_switcher] into a HTML element and placing it in the header in the right hand section level with the logo and search bar. Don't put any other elements in there with it. Leave it by itself or you will have problems.

.widget.widget-adsw-currency-selector {
border: none;
padding-left: 0rem!important;
padding-right: 0rem!important;
max-width: 100%;
}
.widget.widget-adsw-currency-selector a.currency-item {
width: 115px;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: 600!important;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff!important;
}
.widget.widget-adsw-currency-selector .currency-carret {
border-radius: 12px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #d9d9d9;
border-width: 1px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
font-weight: 900;
color: #000000;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
}

I also noticed that if I choose CAD and checkout from my store, paypal is still showing USD price.

That's normal too. Do a search and you will see this discussed many times.

Maybe this is a paypal setting?

No.

So basically, the widget is behaving normally. If you don't like it, you will have to install a paid 3rd party one.
