Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the members of the WPML team who helped us implementing the integration and provided us with a test site and a developer subscription, so that we can continue adding multi-language support to our products.

Thank you all for your support!

Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce updated to version 1.6.9.141104

 

Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.9.141104. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added logic to force cart to use the pre-selected country for shippingand tax calculation. WooCommerce implements a hard-coded logic, which ignores the billing/shipping country (and related taxes) until the customer explicitly calculates the shipping on the cart page. This behaviour is part of the ecommerce core, so we implemented a workaround to ensure that the correct taxes are applied when the cart page is reached.
  • Added caching of detected country to user’s session.
  • Fixed minor notice in settings renderer.

Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce updated to version 1.6.1.141012

 

Tax Display by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.1.141012. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added logic to force WooCommerce to use the appropriate tax rate. WooCommerce applies the base tax rate until the shipping has been calculated on the cart or on checkout, regardless of the country selected by the Tax Display plugin. This may cause confusion, as displayed prices may not be the ones that customer will actually pay. The Tax Display plugin now implements a logic that “tricks” WooCommerce into thinking that the shipping has been calculated as soon as a new country is selected, so that prices are displayed correctly.
  • Fixed bug in the plugin settings user interface. The bug prevented the possibility to drag and drop the rows added to the settings.
  • Improved integration with WPML. Added call to localisation functions for configured price suffixes.
  • Updated requirements. Plugin now requires Aelia Foundation Classes for WooCommerce 1.2.0.141013 or later.

Tax Display by Country now supports fixed product prices

Our Tax Display by Country became even more powerful!

Version 1.7.0.150109 of our WooCommerce Tax Display by Country plugin will become available soon on CodeCanyon. This new version implements a new, powerful feature that was requested to us by several of our customers: the possibility to keep product prices fixed, including tax regardless of what tax rate applies to a customer.

What is the new feature about?

As most WooCommerce users know, when prices are entered including taxes, WooCommerce considers those prices as “inclusive of the taxes that apply to shop’s base location.” For example, if your shop is based in Ireland, a product priced 100 Euro will be considered inclusive of 23% Irish VAT. When a customer from Germany (19% VAT) will buy such product, the price he will see will become 91.63 Euro, calculated as 100 Euro – 23% Irish VAT + 19% German VAT.

This calculation, while correct, produces all sorts of different amounts. In some cases, it would be better to be able to show a price of 100 Euro to all the customers, and calculate the tax-exclusive price from it. WooCommerce, by itself, does not allow to do that.

Luckily, our WooCommerce Tax Display by Country plugin comes to the rescue, by implementing such a feature for you. By enabling a single option in its settings, you will now be able to keep all product prices fixed, regardless of what tax applies to the purchase.

Fantastic! When is this feature going to be available?

We already submitted the updated plugin to the CodeCanyon marketplace. You can expect it to become available at any time from now.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – WC 2.4 fix (“keep prices fixed”)

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new

The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.6.150828. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed “white screen” bug caused by WooCommerce 2.4 on cart and checkout pages. The bug was introduced by WooCommerce 2.4.x, and occurred in specific configurations when the “keep prices fixed” feature of the Tax Display by Country plugin was enabled. The result were intermittent errors on the cart and checkout pages, which did not refresh anymore when the customer changed the country.
    The root cause of such issue was an undocumented breaking change in the logic used by WooCommerce to load shop’s base location, which caused our plugin to go into an infinite loop.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – WC 2.4 checkout bug fix

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new

The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.5.150824. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug caused by WooCommerce 2.4 on the checkout page. The same bug that affected our Currency Switcher also caused some issues on our Tax Display by Country. Due to the hidden breaking change introduced in WooCommerce 2.4, the Tax Display plugin could not detect the country change on the checkout page. The only side effect was that the country selector widget was not updated correctly (taxes are calculated by WooCommerce itself, therefore this bug did not affect them). We fixed this cosmetic issue, so that customers can get a more consistent user experience.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – WC 2.4 fix (price caching)

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new

The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.10.150914. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed caching issue caused by WooCommerce 2.4. The caching logic added in the latest WooCommerce prevented prices to be displayed according to the Tax Display plugin configuration when any of the display settings changed. For example, if the plugin was set to show prices including taxes, then the setting was changed to excluding taxes, the product prices would still show with taxes. This was the result of stale cached data being used by WooCommerce. This new plugin version addresses the issue, ensuring that prices are recalculated correctly when the Tax Display settings change.
  • Improved performance in WooCommerce 2.4. The latest version of WooCommerce is slower in returning the data required by our plugin. The logic behind the Tax Display plugin has been optimised to compensate for this issue.
  • Updated download link for Aelia Foundation Classes.

The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.8.8.160301. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved country detection and selector widget. The plugin can now detect customer’s county/province/state automatically, thus giving a more accurate geolocation. The widget has been updated as well to take advantage of this new option, and it allows customers to select their country and county/province/state. The widget automatically updates the list of provinces when the country changes.
  • Improved user interface of country selector widget. The country selector widget is now easier to use. The Select2 JavaScript library allows to search for a country name, without having to scroll through a long list. Here’s the new selector widget, in all its effective simplicity:The new selector widget in the Tax Display by Country plugin allows to select the country and county, province or state quickly and easily.
  • Bug fixes
    • Fixed conflict with shipping calculator. The shipping country is no longer overwritten when customer uses the shipping calculator.
    • Fixed bug in tax calculation on cart page. The bug caused the “fixed prices” feature to be ignored when the shipping calculator updated the shipping costs.
    • Removed notice message, related to an incorrect reference to customer’s location attribute.

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – Maintenance release (WooCommerce 3.2.x and “keep prices fixed” option)

WooCommerce Tax Display by Country – What’s new

The Tax Display by Country plugin for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.9.8.171023. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug affecting the “keep product prices fixed” feature. The bug was introduced in WooCommerce 3.2.x, due to an unexpected change in the tax calculation logic. The glitch affected the calculation of cart subtotal, which was calculated incorrectly. Specifically, the first product having its price fixed, while next products would have taxes added or removed to their price, depending on customer’s address. This update includes a workaround to make sure that product prices will remain fixed in WooCommerce 3.2.x.

The Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin is now available directly from our site

 

The Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin was originally sold via CodeCanyon. We’re currently reorganising our business and, as part of the operation, we are going to consolidate our offer and move all our products to a single, new licensing system. The new system will allow us to manage product licences, updates and support more efficiently, as well as resume sales to UK consumers and non-VAT registered business. As part of the consolidation process, we had to remove the Tax Display by Country plugin from the CodeCanyon marketplace.

The Tax Display by Country plugin is still in active development and compatible with the latest version of WooCommerce. The Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin is currently available directly from our shop: https://aelia.co/shop/tax-display-by-country-for-woocommerce/. When we will move the product to the new licensing system, you will have the option to transfer your licence to it and retain access to our updates and support service.

Update – 04 May 2021 13:00 CEST

Some users reported that the removal of the Tax Display by Country plugin from the CodeCanyon marketplace was sudden. We had planned to announce the change in the next few weeks, and move our Tax Display plugin to the new platform in June. Yesterday, we have been informed that CodeCanyon updated the guidelines for the products sold via their marketplace. Our solution complies with the new guidelines, with the exception of a few minor elements that don’t affect its functionalities. Despite that, the Envato Team chose to disable our product, without warning, pending a review.

Although we understand the new guidelines, and we would be happy to follow them, we don’t agree with the sudden removal of our product from the CodeCanyon marketplace. Our solution runs on thousands of our customers’ sites, and works perfectly with the latest version of WordPress and WooCommerce. We would have appreciated, and considered more professional, if they informed us, and gave us sufficient notice to address the discrepancies.

Due to this, and to the fact that we had already planned to move our product to another platform, we decided to start the migration process immediately. We considered this approach more effective than trying to rush an update, push for a review, and get the product back online on CodeCanyon just for a few weeks.

How this change could affect you

The policies applied by the Envato/CodeCanyon grant access to six months of support from the date of purchase. If you bought the Aelia Tax Display by Country plugin from that marketplace and have an active support service, simply contact us, with your purchase code (see Envato –  Where is my purchase code?). We will provide you with support for the remainder of the covered period.

If you don’t wish to avail of our support service, and you have a valid CodeCanyon purchase code, you can still get access to updates for the Tax Display by Country. To do so, please forward us the original purchase code via our contact form and we will send you the instructions to keep receiving the updates.

What are the differences in terms of licensing, support and updates?

The terms of licensing offered by CodeCanyon are different from the ones that we offer via our website. You can find a quick comparison below.

AeliaCodeCanyon
Licence typeGPL . You are allowed to install and activate the plugin on as many sites as you like (see Benefits of the GPL licence)CodeCanyon’s Standard Licence. The licence allowed users to install the plugin on a single site (see https://codecanyon.net/licenses/standard). The terms of sale of the marketplace prohibited using the plugin on multiple sites.
UpdatesAutomatic updates are provided for one site per licence. You can install the plugin on other sites, which you have to have to update manually. The licence includes updates for one year. After that period the licence has to be renewed to receive further updates.Automatic updates were provided for one site per licence. CodeCanyon granted access to updates for the lifetime of the product. “Lifetime” meant until the product was retired, or removed from the CodeCanyon marketplace, as it happened in this case.
SupportThe support service is available for the duration of the licence, which is one year.Access to the support service was available for six months from the date of purchase. It had to be renewed every six months.

Update – October 2021

On the 1st of October, 2021, we moved all our products to the Freemius platform. The same terms described in the Aelia column, above, still apply to the products after the migration.

What happens after the support service bought from CodeCanyon will expire?

When the support service you bought from CodeCanyon will expire, you will just have to get a new licence from our site. This will grant you another year of updates and support.

Any questions?

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. We will be happy to give you all the information you need. Thanks.

WooCommerce Moneris Extended Gateway Updates

WooCommerce Moneris Extended Gateway – Support for Hosted Tokenization ID

25/04/2016

WooCommerce Moneris Extended Gateway – What’s new

WooCommerce Moneris Extended (multi-account) Gateway has been updated to version 1.1.3.160421. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added support for currency-specific Hosted Tokenization Profile IDs
    Up until version 2.4, the Moneris gateway that our plugin extends didn’t allow to change the hosted tokenization profile ID on the fly. Due to that, if the tokenization feature was enabled, the same profile ID was used for transactions in both USD and CAD, causing the payment to fail for one of the currencies. Version 2.5 of the Moneris gateway was made more flexible from this perspective, and it’s now possible to enter two separate tokenization IDs for US and Canadian Dollars.
  • Improved error handling in wc_moneris_api_request_auth_info filter
    Handled condition when the Moneris gateway doesn’t pass an order with the filter. This is an edge condition, but it can happen in some circumstances, causing the payment to fail. The improved error checking will handle such condition gracefully, allowing payments to complete successfully.

WooCommerce Moneris Extended Gateway – Gateway switching bug fix

WooCommerce Moneris Extended Gateway – What’s new

WooCommerce Moneris Extended (multi-account) Gateway has been updated to version 1.1.1.150903. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug in server switching logic
    The plugin allows to switch  between Canadian and American Moneris servers, depending on the currency, when the related option is enabled. The bug caused the plugin to switch between the two servers even if that option was not selected, thus causing Moneris to return errors (which are fairly unclear, making the issue complicated to troubleshoot). This update fixes the bug, so that the switch between the Canadian and American servers occurs only when required.

Authipay gateway for WooCommerce is now available

The Authipay gateway plugin for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0 has been released and is now available for purchase in our shop. This plugin will allow your shop to accept payments through the Authipay portal, which is managed by AIB (GB) Merchant Services, and supports most credit cards.

Note

It was brought to our attention that a similar plugin has been released yesterday (24/09/2013) on WooThemes website. We are not affiliated or related to that plugin, which is exclusively maintained by WooThemes. We won’t be able to provide support for the plugin purchased through their website.

Are the two Authipay plugins identical?

We didn’t have the chance to inspect the WooThemes plugin, but, based on the documentation, it seems that it also provides integration with Authipay Connect. However, Aelia Authipay Gateway brings a few advantages:

  • GPL Licensing
    We don’t sell single site or multi-site licences. If you purchase our plugins, you are allowed to use it on as many sites as you like.
  • Support for all Authipay modes
    Authipay can work in three modes, named PayOnly, PayPlus and FullPay. Aelia Authipay Gateway allows you to choose which mode you would like to enable on your site.
  • Fully compatible with Currency Switcher
    We are the authors of the acclaimed Currency Switcher plugin, and we test our products to make sure that they work well together. Other plugins may work as well, but we don’t test them personally.
  • Price
    Aelia Authipay Gateway is cheaper than the WooThemes one. This is due to the fact that we are a small business, and that, by selling directly to our customers, we don’t have to pay the high commissions charged by large marketplaces.

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a solution to add Authipay support to our site, we reckon that both our plugin and WooThemes’ one would work for you.

WooCommerce First Data/Authipay Gateway – Maintenance update

Our First Data/Authipay Gateway has been updated to version 1.2.15.160215. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed minor warnings in WooCommerce 2.5. The warnings were displayed on the payment page, and they did not affect the checkout process. However, they were unsightly.
  • Dropped support for WooCommerce 1.6. There are virtually no shops running that old version of WooCommerce, therefore we decided to drop compatibility with it.

First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce is now available

A brand new product for WooCommerce is now available, the First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce.

The First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce replaced the obsolete Authipay Gateway we released last year. The new product is smaller, lighter and more stable, and it supports both First Data and AIB Authipay services.

What’s new in the product

We worked in collaboration with First Data, which is the provider behind Authipay service, to extend the plugin so that it could cover both services. We therefore redesigned its architecture to make it more flexible, and removed some of the core files that are now part of the Aelia Foundation Classes for WooCommerce.

The result is a lighter, simpler gateway, which retains the functionalities of the original one. The new payment gateway is also fully compatible with WooCommerce 2.2.

What are the requirements?

The requirements are almost the same of the previous gateway:

The only difference is the Aelia Foundation Classes plugin, which is shared by most of our products and just needs to be installed once.

How do I get the new First Data/Authipay Gateway?

If you are a new customer, you can buy First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce plugin from our site. The plugin is now available at a discounted price. Offer will last until the end of October 2014.

If you purchased the original Authipay plugin less than a year ago, we will be happy to provide you with free updates for the reminder of your order lifespan. Simply contact us through our support portal and we will send you the link from where you can download the new plugin, free of charge.

See you soon with more exciting news and products!

Important update for WooCommerce First Data/AIB Authipay

The First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.2.13.150211. This is an important update, which fixes an issue caused by version 2.3 of WooCommerce, which was released today.

What’s new?

The gateway has not changed much. Its features remain the same, and it will work as it has done until now. However, it’s important to update it as soon as possible, because in WooCommerce 2.3 they remove (without notice) some functions on which the plugin relied. As a result, the First Data/Authipay plugin will crash, unless it’s updated before upgrading WooCommerce.

If you plan to upgrade your system to WooCommerce 2.3, you should first update the First Data/AIB Authipay plugin to version 1.2.13.150211.

As with every WooCommerce update, we strongly recommend to install WooCommerce 2.3 on a test environment first, to ensure that all 3rd party plugins keep working as expected.

How do I get the new version?

If you are a new customer, you can buy First Data/AIB Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce plugin from our site.

Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway for WooCommerce is now available

We are happy to announce that we just released a brand new product, the Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway for WooCommerce.

The Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway plugin integrates with our acclaimed Currency Switcher plugin, and allows to bypass the “one currency” restriction imposed by Mijireh Architecture. It works by adding support for multiple Mijireh stores on a single WooCommerce shop, and by directing order payments to the appropriate store, depending on the currency in which the payment is completed.

How easy is it to manage?

The plugin has been designed to be as simple as possible. It just needs the Mijireh API key for each of the stores to be used, then it will automatically direct payments to the correct accounts.

For convenience, we added detailed  installation instructions in our knowledge base: Multi-currency Mijireh gateway – Installation instructions. They cover all the steps, from the creation of the stores to the configuration of the plugin itself.

What are the requirements?

The plugin requirements are pretty standard:

Sounds like a good product! The price?

The Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway plugin will have a price tag of 35 US Dollars. To celebrate its launch, we are currently offering it completely free of charge!

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce – GeoIP feature to be rewritten

In the past days, a few Users reported poor performance on their websites when they used the Currency Switcher plugin with the GeoIP feature enabled. After an in-depth investigation, the culprit seems to be the fact that, in some circumstances, the remote service used to provide live IP-to-Geolocation takes a long time to respond (sometimes, up to 10 seconds). This, of course, has an impact on the Currency Switcher plugin and on the website where it is running.

The Solution

To prevent this issue from occurring in the future, I’m going to rewrite the code that provides the GeoIP functionality, so that it won’t have to rely on an external website anymore. This will bring a performance improvement and ensure a consistent experience.

I will give this task a high priority, to make sure that a new version can be released soon. Meanwhile, if you experience a slowdown on your website, please disable the GeoIP feature and see if the situation improves. If not, please contact Support using the link on the top left of this page. Thanks.

Update – 15/07/2013

GeoIP feature rewrite is complete and a new version of the plugin has been released.

Currency Switcher 2.0 is coming, supporting multiple prices

Update: Currency Switcher 2.0 is now available!

Version 2 of Currency Switcher plugin is in development, with the objective of implementing the most requested feature so far, which is the possibility of manually specifying multiple prices for a product (one for each of the enabled currencies).

Due to several key differences between WooCommerce 2.0.x  and 1.6.x, the feature will be implemented in two phases:

  • Phase 1: the feature will be available for WooCommerce 2.0.x only.
  • Phase 2: the feature will be available also for WooCommerce 1.6.x.

More details about the progress, including the planned release date, will be published soon.

Special Thanks

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the Customers who purchased the plugin for their support and their invaluable feedback, which allowed me to make it the five star product it is today. I will make sure to meet your expectations again, and make good use of all the information you provided.

See you soon with more good news!

Currency Switcher new feature: Currency Selection based on visitor’s Country

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0 has been updated to version 1.9.130624. This update adds one of the “most wanted” features, i.e. the automatic selection of a Currency based on first time visitors’ Country.

How it works

The Currency selection based on geographic location relies on the service provided by IPInfoDB. When enabled, every time a User visits your shop for the first time, the plugin will try to automatically select the currency used in his/her Country. If such currency is not enabled, then the default one will be used. This will allow your visitors to immediately see the prices in the currency they know best, increasing the conversion rate.

Currency Switcher – WebServiceX is down, please use Open Exchange Rates

WebServiceX, one of the exchange rates providers supported by the Currency Switcher for WooCommerce, went down today due to a server issue. Attempting to retrieve an exchange rate from it would return an error message, which, hopefully, should be fixed soon (apparently, their server ran out of disk space). This means that, if you configured the Currency Switcher to use WebServiceX to automatic update the exchange rates, it won’t work. Unfortunately, the plugin can’t do anything about the issue, since it depends on an external server, but there are a few steps you can take to get your site back to normal:

  1. Go to the Administration section of your site and open the Currency Switcher Options page.
  2. Switch to Open Exchange Rates as the exchange rates provider. It requires an API key, which can be obtained free of charge using their Free Forever plan.
  3. Click on Save and update exchange rates. This will fetch the exchange rates from the provider and update them automatically.
  4. Update the Currency Switcher plugin to version 1.9.22.130827 or later, which improves the handling of abnormal conditions that may occur while retrieving the exchange rates.

All done! Your site will be now operational again, and you won’t have to worry about downtime of exchange rates provider.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0 updated to version 1.9.19.130820

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0 has been updated to version 1.9.19.130820. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed issue with formatting of shipping and tax totals when displaying past orders. In some configurations, it could happen that the numeric code of a currency symbol was interpreted as the shipping amount, thus always displaying “36” for US Dollars, no matter what the real amount was. Note: the issue was purely cosmetic, and it just affected the rendering of order pages and order confirmation emails. Despite that, orders were processed normally and the correct amount was charged for shipping and taxes.

Currency Switcher 2.0 with multiple currency pricing – Beta version is available

As announced earlier, the Beta version of Currency Switcher 2.0, with support for multiple currency pricing of each product, is now available.

Currency Switcher 2.0 with multiple currency pricing – Progress update

Over a month has passed since I announced the development of Currency Switcher 2.0 with multi pricing capabilities and I think it’s time to give an update about the progress. The multi-pricing feature is currently being tested and a Beta version of the plugin will be released in the second half of August 2013.

As indicated in the original announcement, version 2.0 of the Currency Switcher will implement multi-pricing on WooCommerce 2.0.x. While it is possible that such feature will work on WooCommerce 1.6.x as well, not much testing is going to be performed on such environment at this stage.

Multi-pricing screenshots

Here are see a couple of screenshots showing the multi-pricing feature in action.

How to get Currency Switcher 2.0 Beta version

When Currency Switcher 2.0 Beta will become available, an announcement will be posted on this site. The new version it will be distributed together with version 1.x. A separate download link for version 2.0 Beta will be provided with every purchase, giving the possibility of downloading and installing either one.

If you already purchased the plugin, you received an order confirmation with just the link to version 1.x of the plugin. In such case, simply contact Support to request an updated order confirmation, which will contain the second link.

Please note that, as per Terms and Conditions of sale, Beta versions are not covered by free support. It’s therefore recommended not to use Beta versions in production.

Thanks for reading, and see you soon with exciting news!

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x updated to version 2.6.2.140205

 

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 2.6.2.140205. This is an important update, and it includes several new, important features that have been requested by many of our customers:

A shortcode to display the currency selector widget

From version 2.6 onward, in addition to original method of displaying the widget in a sidebar, it’s finally possible to display it in any page, by simply calling the shortcode, as in the example below:

Widget title (optional)

A new layout for the currency selector widget

As you may have noticed, the shortcode accepts two parameters, one of which is the type of widget to display. The Currency Switcher now includes the classic widget with a dropdown list of currencies, and a new one that displays a button for each enabled currency. Both layouts can be overridden by copying the widget template files into your theme, allowing you to display the widget in any way you like. Further instructions can be found on a the Documentation section on plugin’s settings page

In addition to the above new features, this version also brings the following improvements and bug fixes:

  • Optimised data retrieval from Open Exchange Rates. Retrieval of data from Open Exchange Rates is now faster and more stable
  • Fixed dashboard reports. The dashboard reports were displaying the wrong totals, due to a mixup in the currencies. This issue has now been fixed. Note: the main reports have always been correct, the bug only affected the dashboard report widgets.

Overall, a great new release, of which we are very happy. We would like to thank all the people who contributed with their feedback, allowing us to improve our product and bring it to its current level.

Please note that compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1 is still being improved and there may be issues to be addressed.

Pending issues

  • Reports display incorrect totals – Update
    WooCommerce 2.1 implements a new logic to render reports, which doesn’t trigger the Currency Switcher functions. We found out that, currently, the new reports don’t allow 3rd parties to alter the queries used to retrieve the data, thus making it hard to ensure that the correct totals are used. The solution we proposed to WooCommerce team will not be adopted by the 17/02/2014, therefore we will be re-implementing the reports altogether.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 3.1.2.140213. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • New filter
    • Added filter wc_aelia_currencyswitcher_country_currencies, to allow altering the currency associated with each country. This can be used to alter geolocation logic and assign a currency different from the one used in a country. For example, one could set EUR against United Kingdom and visitors from the UK will see prices in EUR, rather than GBP.
  • Improved compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1
    • Fixed bug in calculation of min and max variation prices when the base currency is selected.

Please note that compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1 is still being improved and there may be issues to be addressed.

Pending issues

  • Reports display incorrect totals – Update
    WooCommerce 2.1 implements a new logic to render reports, which doesn’t trigger the Currency Switcher functions. We found out that, currently, the new reports don’t allow 3rd parties to alter the queries used to retrieve the data, thus making it hard to ensure that the correct totals are used. The solution we proposed to WooCommerce team will not be adopted by the 17/02/2014, therefore we will be re-implementing the reports altogether.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x updated to version 3.1.0.140212

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 3.1.0.140212. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved display of Recent Orders dashboard widget
    • The widget now displays only one total for orders placed in base currency. Orders placed in other currencies will still display the two totals, with the one in base currency enclosed in brackets.
    • The widget now displays the correct currencies for each order total.
  • Added currency selector in “new order” page in the backend
    The “new order” page in WooCommerce backend now includes a currency selector widget. With it, it’s now possible to choose the currency to use to create an order. The widget also displays the currency in which previous orders were placed.
  • Improved compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1
    • Fixed bug in display of prices for variable products in products list page, which was caused by the new logic added to WooCommerce 2.1

Please note that compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1 is still in Beta and there may be issues to be addressed. We do not recommend using such WooCommerce version with the Currency Switcher on a live site.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x updated to version 3.0.5.140211

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 3.0.5.140211. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Revised version number
    Some visitors got confused by the Beta in the version, therefore we felt the need to clarify its meaning. The Currency Switcher 3.0 is stable, ready for use in production and fully compatible with WooCommerce 2.0.x. The Beta refers to the compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1, which is still a work in progress. To reflect this, the “Beta” label has now been removed from the version number and a warning message is displayed in the Currency Switcher Options page, to highlight that we are still working to fix the issues that are caused by the installation of WooCommerce 2.1.
  • Improved compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1
    We modified some of the logic in the plugin to deal with the changes in the display of products:

    • Sale prices for variable products is now displayed correctly.
    • New filters have been added, to handle the new way prices are retrieved for variable products.
  • Added handling of multiple IP addresses in X-Forwarded-For header
    In some configurations, X-Forwarded-For header contains a list of comma separated IP addresses, where the first in the list is the client IP address. The Currency Switcher now handles such condition, taking the first IP for Geolocation resolution purposes.

Please note that compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1 is still in Beta and there may be issues to be addressed. We do not recommend using such version with the Currency Switcher on a live site.

Pending issues

  • Reports display incorrect totals
    WooCommerce 2.1 implements a completely new logic to render reports, which doesn’t trigger the Currency Switcher functions. We are now analysing the new code to ensure that the reports are generated correctly.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x updated to version 3.0.2.140210-Beta

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0.x has been updated to version 3.0.2.140210-Beta. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Preliminary compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1
  • As anticipated earlier today, the architecture of WooCommerce 2.1 is significantly different from 2.0.x. Some of the changes introduced in this version break backward compatibility, thus causing undesired side effect in 3rd party plugins. We are now working to address issues caused by such update.
  • The following issues have been addressed:
    • Fixed error message related to absence of WC_Google_Analytics class
      Such class was part of WooCommerce core until version 2.0.20. From 2.1, it has been moved to a separate plugin.
    • Adapted logic to retrieve order currency
      WooCommerce 2.0 and 2.1 handle order attributes differently. Plugin logic has been modified to cater for both versions.
    • Fixed issue in displaying order totals in orders list page
      Order totals are handled correctly throughout the purchase process, but they are displayed incorrectly on Orders page in WC2.1 (again, due to a change in the core logic). Such issue has been addressed.
  • Removed unnecessary files.

Please note that compatibility with WooCommerce 2.1 is still in Beta and there may be issues to be addressed. We do not recommend using such version with the Currency Switcher on a live site.

Pending issues

  • Reports display incorrect totals
    WooCommerce 2.1 implements a completely new logic to render reports, which doesn’t trigger the Currency Switcher functions. We are now analysing the new code to ensure that the reports are generated correctly.

Upcoming addon – Shipping Pricing for Currency Switcher

This new plugin will become available soon, and it will initially support the shipping methods included with WooCommerce. We are also planning to add support for the Table Rate Shipping plugin, by developer BolderElements, in a future release.

The Shipping Pricing plugin will make the WooCommerce Currency Switcher even better, and it will become the most comprehensive multi-currency solution on the market.  See you soon for the release!

  • Fixed bug in handling of currency selector widget shortcode. The logic that rendered the shortcode was lost by accident in a previous release, and it has been restored.

  • Cleaned up redundant code.

  • Easy Digital Downloads – Aelia Currency Switcher
  • Changed menu label to “Currency Switcher“.

Product Add-ons Integration add-on for Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.1.0.141010. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added fix to work around a bug in the Product Add-ons plugin. The original Product Add-ons plugin introduced a small bug in version 2.6.3, which causes miscalculation of add-ons prices when their price is set to zero in product configuration. This update handles the condition, so that add-ons with a price of zero will keep that value.
  • Refactored plugin to use the Aelia Foundation Classes library. The AFC library is the foundation of most of our products, and it allows to keep our plugins efficient, lightweight and easy to maintain. We re-designed the Product Add-ons plugin so that it can leverage our powerful library.

  • Added check to prevent mathematical conversion of empty product prices. If you leave base product price empty, prices in other currencies will no longer be calculated as “zero”, but will simply be left empty as well.
  • Fixed minor bug in rendering of “buttons” widget. The bug caused the currency code to be used as the buttons’ labels, ignoring filters that might have modified the labels.
  • Fixed bug in handling of minimum order amount for free shipping. The bug caused the minimum amount to be converted using exchange rates even when it was declared in explicitly in a currency using the Shipping Pricing plugin.
  • Added new arguments to wc_aelia_currencyswitcher_widget_currency_options hook, toallowtodetermine whichwidgetis being rendered. The arguments passed to the filter are now the following:

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.6.5.140108. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug that caused list of enabled currencies to be returned empty. The bug was caused by the Currency Switcher being activated, but not yet configured, and it made the plugin return an empty list when queried about the enabled currencies. This bug was almost harmless, but it tricked the Prices by Country plugin into thinking that no currencies were enabled, thus preventing it from showing the regional prices for the products. We recommend to update both the Currency Switcher and the Prices by Country plugins to make sure that they will work together smoothly.

  • New feature: per-currency “buy” price. This great new feature, that we announced a few days ago, allows to specify the base currency for each product or variation. It’s now possible to enter product prices in any of the enabled currencies, and let other prices be calculated automatically, starting from it. This feature will prove very useful if you buy your products from multiple suppliers in different currencies, as it will save you the time you now spend converting each purchase price in your store’s base currency.
    Below you can find some screenshots of this new feature in action
  • Note: this feature was meant to be sold separately, but we decided to include it with the Currency Switcher, free of charge.
  • New feature: geolocation detection debugger. By enabling debug mode and adding a special argument to your site URL, you can now force the detection of customer’s currency using geolocation. The result of the detection will be stored in the plugin’s log, and it will help troubleshooting issues related to geolocation.
  • Improved performance. We optimised the plugin code to improve its speed.

Currency Switcher new feature – Per-currency “Buy” prices

 

After several requests from our customers, we have finally managed to add a feature that will increase the already great flexibility of our Currency Switcher: we are adding the possibility of setting products’ “buy” prices in the currency of your choice, and let every other price be calculated automatically, unless populated manually.

What is this feature about?

At the moment, the Currency Switcher allows to you enter product prices in two ways:

  • By entering only a price in base currency, letting the plugin calculate all the others, using exchange rates.
  • By entering prices in one or more currencies, thus ignoring the exchange rates.

This system works well in most cases, however it has one limitation: the product price in base currency must always be specified, because it is used as the starting price to calculate the other prices. With the new per-currency “buy” prices feature, such limitation will be removed: you will finally be able to choose which price is going to be the “base” one, and let the others be recalculated.

How can this feature help?

The most common scenario where you could need this feature is when you have supplier from whom you buy products in different currencies. For example, you might buy Product X in US Dollars and Product Y in Euro. If your shop base currency is US Dollars, then you will have to enter all product base prices in USD. This won’t be difficult for Product Y, but, for Product Y, you would have to apply a EUR -> USD conversion first, to determine how much you paid in Dollars, then enter the sale prices, and keep them up to date when you buy new batches.

With the new feature, you will be able to specify that the base currency for Product Y is Euro, and just enter a sale price in such currency. The Currency Switcher will take care of calculating the prices in US Dollars, and in every other currency, using the Euro price as a reference.

Here’s a preview of the new feature, showing how easy it will be to choose the “buy” currency and set the prices for a product, and how the same product will display the prices calculated automatically from the base one.

Sounds great, when will the feature be available?

We are now testing the feature, and we will release an update for the Currency Switcher that includes it within the next couple of days. The update will be free for existing customers, and it will also be included with all new purchases starting from the official release date. If you would be interested in trying it before the official release, please contact us and we will send you further instructions.

Currency Switcher – “Product base currency” feature is back!

Product base currency feature and variable products

We are happy to inform you that the product base currency feature is now available again for variable products. We were forced to disable it some weeks ago, following the discovery of some limitations in WooCommerce 2.2 and earlier. When we found the issue, we immediately started working on it and we sent a fix to the WooCommerce team on the 23rd of January. The fix was integrated in WooCommerce core, and included in its latest release.

WooCommerce 2.3 received several patches shortly after its release, therefore we decided to wait until the dust settled to re-test the product base currency feature. We completed the tests last week, and we have been able to restore such functionality on sites running WooCommerce 2.3 or later (unfortunately, the WooCommerce team chose not to backport our fix to earlier versions).

How to enable the feature

Enabling the “product base currency” feature on variable products is simple. Just download and install the latest version of the Currency Switcher (it must be version 3.6.21.140227 or later) and make sure that you are running WooCommerce 2.3 or later. You should now see the product base currency feature (see screenshot below).

Product base currency is now available on variable products (requires WooCommerce 2.3 or later)

If you still don’t see the feature, it’s probably because your browser has cached the styles that hide it. In such case, simply reload the page using CTRL+F5 and the new user interface will appear.

Should you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact us using our dedicated support portal. Thanks from the whole team for your continued support.

Important update – WooCommerce Currency Switcher 3.6.12.140121

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.6.12.140121. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Removed Product Base Currency feature from variable products. It was a difficult decision, but we had to disable such feature, that we recently introduced, because we discovered some limitations in WooCommerce architecture that prevented it from working correctly when used on variable products. We tried to rewrite the new feature several times, taking different approaches, but the result was always an overly complicated hack that caused performance issues. Because of that, our only option was to temporarily disable the Product Base Currency on variable products, and leave it only for simple products.We will now contact the WooCommerce Team to suggest some ways to improve the ecommerce core, so that we can enable the feature again in a future release. If you would like to have more details about the issue and the reasons behind our decision, please feel free to contact us.
  • Fixed bug related to the integration with Prices by Country plugin. The bug caused the prices specified for a region to be discarded and overwritten by the base ones in some circumstances.
  • Added Yahoo! Finance to the available providers of exchange rates.
  • Improved admin UI. The message stating importance of entering proper exchange rates is now more prominent.

New product – AffiliateWP integration for WooCommerce Currency Switcher

 

The AffiliateWP Integration for WooCommerce Currency Switcher plugin is now available for download, free for a limited period!

AffiliateWP provides an easy way for you to track your affiliate commissions in your WooCommerce store.

When an affiliate promotes your product they may attract customers for you from anywhere in the world. Using our WooCommerce Currency Switcher you will be able to make those customers feel right at home by displaying prices in their own currency. Not only that, the entire transaction will happen in that currency. But when AffiliateWP calculates commissions you don’t want to pay affiliates in whichever currency their customer shopped in, you just want to use one – your local currency.

This integration does exactly that. Let customers shop in their local currency, and let affiliates receive the currency you pay in.

There are no setup and no configuration required. Just install and activate. The plugin takes care of everything else for you.

  • Fixed bug caused by WooCommerce 2.4 on the checkout page. The bug prevented the selection of the currency based on the country selected at checkout.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.2.150815. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed occasional bug in recalculation of mini-cart totals. The condition was caused by an Ajax call that WordPress and WooCommerce did not report as such. This prevented the mini-cart total from being calculated correctly, in some circumstances.
  • Fixed Admin UI issue caused by new Variable Products logic in WC2.4. The bug caused the wrong currency symbol to be displayed when modifying variations, and it was caused by the fact that the Ajax call in the backend could not be distinguished from one in the frontend.
  • Added new wc_aelia_cs_exchange_rates_updated action.
  • Replaced currency symbols with currency codes in Product Edit page. This should make it easier to edit product prices while having multiple currencies with the same symbols. See example, below.The new Product Edit interface shows currency codes, instead of symbols, making it easier to distinguish which price is being modified.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – WC 2.4 fix (variations)

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.7.8.150810. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed issue caused by new Variable Products logic in WooCommerce 2.3.4. The new logic added to variable products discards variations when their price in base currency is empty, to improve performances. This mechanism works in a “basic” WooCommerce setup, because a product without a price cannot be purchased. However, when the product can have dynamic prices, like it happens in a multi-currency environment, such logic can cause an unexpected behaviour, as it may ignore products that should actually be processed. This new update addresses this issue.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Multiple optimisations

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.12.151116. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Removed redundant code. The redundant code was used to set customer’s currency when viewing an existing order, but it’s no longer required by current architecture.
  • Refactored method Order::get_order_currency() to be compatible with parent class’ method signature.
  • Optimised logic used to handle coupons. Coupon processing is now skipped when the base currency is active (the conversion would be ineffective, anyway).
  • Added new WC_Aelia_CurrencyPrices_Manager::convert_product_price_from_base() method. The new method will be used exclusively to convert product prices, and it uses a filter to allow 3rd parties to modify the result of the conversion (for example, to implement a custom rounding logic).
  • Fixed loading of frontend JavaScript, so that it’s not loaded when user is opening the Admin section. This will slightly reduce the time to load the admin pages and prevent conflitcs with other scripts.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Performance and robustness

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.11.151028. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Optimised performance of currency conversion logic. The new logic makes the Currency Switcher more efficient on sites that contain a large amount of variations, helping to improve page load times. Of course, using a dynamic caching solution on such type of sites is highly advisable.
  • Improved robustness of internal conversion manager class. We added extra checks to improve fault tolerance. The changes are especially focused on handling possible errors that could be caused by customisations, or 3rd party plugins, that could make premature calls to currency conversion functions.
  • Improved coupon handling hook to handle edge conditions. In some cases, especially when sites are running custom code not written by Aelia, hooks related to WooCommerce coupons could be triggered before the woocommerce_loaded event. This would prevent the coupon amounts from being converted correctly. The new logic handles such case.

  • EDD AFC – Added new edd_aelia_ip2location_geoip_db_file filter. This new filter allows to override the location of the MaxMind GeoIP2 database. If you have your own database, and would like to use it instead of relying on the one provided with the Aelia Foundation Classes, you can now simply write a filter for this new hook.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Email fix

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.9.150930. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed minor bug in notification emails. The bug occurred sporadically, and it caused order notification emails to display the wrong currency symbol. Due to the fact that the issue occurred only occasionally, it was not easy to find its cause, but it seemed to be due to the fact that email notifications can be triggered by Instant Payment Notifications. Such notifications are processed as “guest” connections, outside the context of the original order, and the currency that applies to them is shop’s base one. The fix consisted in ensuring that the active currency is load from the order to which a notification refers.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher and cache – Making them work together

This article continues in WooCommerce and cache – Part 2: new Cache Handler plugin

One of the most common questions we receive from our customers is how to make a highly dynamic, multi-currency, multi-pricing, geolocation-enabled sites work properly with caching enabled. This is not always an easy task, because caching systems are designed with the assumption that the content served by a site doesn’t change depending on the visitor. Such assumption holds true in many cases, as a large number of sites does indeed serve the same content to whoever views a page. In such case, the standard behaviour of caching systems, which is storing one copy of each page in the cache, is acceptable.

As soon as multi-currency features are added, the same behaviour proves itself too limited, because the assumption behind it becomes incorrect. A multi-currency shop serves different content to different visitors, depending on the currency and other criteria (applicable taxes, regional pricing, etc). Quite simply, having one cached copy of each page just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Until recently, the only way to prevent caching from interfering with the multi-currency features was to disable it on catalogue pages. Doing so ensures that the shop can produce content dynamically, showing the correct information to each visitor. In some cases, when the caching system in use is too rigid, this is still the only solution.

How WooCommerce handles the issue

WooCommerce itself has to deal with caching since its team introduced geolocation features in it. The WC team added a workaround to “trick” caching systems into letting WooCommerce serve the correct data. Such workaround works by reloading the shop pages in a way that cache is ignored. This ensures that the page shows the correct content but, in our opinion, it’s not an ideal approach. We certainly appreciate the effort put into it, and the fact that there isn’t much more that a plugin can do to correct the behaviour of the caching system. However, we decided to find an alternative, more robust solution.

Our solution

Our opinion is that caching systems should adapt to your site, not the other way round. Issues caused by caching should be solved by fixing the caching. With this in mind, instead of implementing a workaround, we tackled the issue at its root, and wrote an algorithm for dynamic caching that takes into account the needs of a multi-currency website.

The algorithm is straightforward, and solves the issue by addressing its cause: instead of one copy of each page, it allows caching systems and plugins to store multiple copies of each page (such as one for each currency). With that in place, visitors from all over the world will see the content that applies to them, with the correct currency and taxes applied. If visitors choose another currency, or country, then our plugins track their choice, and the dynamic caching logic uses it to serve them the correct content.

Our solution grants top performance, with maximum flexibility.

Supported Systems

Dynamic caching is a great solution for highly dynamic, multi-currency sites. However, it can only work if the caching system in use supports it. As of October 2015, the following plugins and systems support, or are planning to support, dynamic caching.

WordPress Plugins

Caching Systems

For caching plugins and systems that do not support dynamic caching, disabling cache on catalogue pages is still necessary to allow the multi-currency features to work correctly.

How to add dynamic caching to your site

Adding it to your site can be as simple as copying one file, or changing one configuration file. In order to allow you to get started quickly, we wrote an implementation of dynamic caching for the following systems:

  • ZenCache/Comet Cache
  • Nginx

You can find detailed instructions to install and configure each of our solutions, as well as indications for other systems, in our knowledge base: How to add dynamic caching to your site.

We also discussed the implementation extensively with the WP Rocket Team, and provided them with code examples for integration. They confirmed that they are going to add support for dynamic caching and multi-currency sites directly in their plugin.

With dynamic caching and our Currency Switcher, your WooCommerce site will be faster and more flexible than ever!

What about systems that don’t support dynamic caching?

Plugins and caching systems that don’t support dynamic caching still have to be disabled on the catalogue, at least until they are updated. We believe that caching systems should be flexible, and support for dynamic caching is not particularly difficult to implement.

If you are using a plugin, or a caching system that doesn’t support dynamic caching, we recommend thar you get in touch with its authors and express your interest in such feature. You can also suggest them to contact us directly, if they have any questions. We will be happy to provide them with all the information they need to improve their solution.

Questions? Feedback?

We hope that you enjoyed this great news. A faster e-commerce means more customers, and that is always good! If you have any questions about our solutions, or if you would like to send us your feedback, please feel free to contact us. We will get back to you in no time.

Thank for your time and continued support.

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – New features

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.3.2.150928. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added possibility to select a currency via a URL argument. This feature, inherited from our WooCommerce Currency Switcher, will allow to create links that include a currency code, so that the customer will automatically see prices in the selected currency. Using this feature is extremely easy: enable it in Currency Switcher Options > Currency Selection Options, then create links such as:
    • http://example.org?aelia_cs_currency=USD
    • http://example.org?aelia_cs_currency=EUR
    • http://example.org?aelia_cs_currency=GBP
  • The currency you specify in the URL will be activated automatically.
  • Improved support for export features. The export of payment data now includes amount in order currency, together with amounts in shop currency. There is no configuration needed, just update the Currency Switcher and the data will automatically appear in the “Payments” CSV files.
  • Fixed formatting of {price} tag in emails. The price, which is in shop’s base currency, now shows the correct currency symbol.
  • Fixed bug in payment history list. The bug caused some payments to be displayed as “zero” when the order did not contain currency-specific data.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved support for WC 2.4.7

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.8.150917. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved support for caching in WooCommerce 2.4.7
    We recently updated our plugins to handle the changes added recently WooCommerce 2.4.7, related to the caching of product prices. In this update, we improved the support for the latest version of WooCommerce. The most important change is a new mechanism that interacts with the price cache, clearing it when the Currency Switcher settings, or the exchange rates, are updated. This will ensure that prices will be cached only until they need to be recalculated, showing the correct information to the customers.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – WC 2.4.7 price caching fix

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.7.150914. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added support for the new price caching logic added to WooCommerce 2.4.7. As recently announced on WooCommerce development blog, version 2.4.7 changed the logic used to retrieve prices for variable products. The new logic loads variations prices in a way that won’t trigger the currency conversion, and it may result in incorrect values being displayed to customers.
    We updated the Currency Switcher, as well as our Prices by Country plugin, so that they will always load the correct prices automatically. As always, our plugin updates are fully backward compatible.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – WC 2.4 price caching improvement

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.5.150907. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed issue of “stale prices”, caused by price caching in WooCommerce 2.4. The latest version of WooCommerce silently introduced a very aggressive pricing caching mechanism, which can make product prices to appear incorrect on the catalogue. In a multi-currency environment, prices are highly dynamic (they change depending on the currency, and on the applicable exchange rate), and they should not be cached. Since this is not taken into account by the latest WooCommerce, this update for the Currency Switcher adds a new logic that forces the recalculation of product prices when products the exchange rates are modified.

WooCommerce Shipping Pricing for Currency Switcher – WC 2.4 Admin UI improvement

 

Shipping Pricing Integration Add-on for WooCommerce Currency Switcher has been updated to version 1.1.12.150903. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug in shipping methods admin user interface. The bug caused the shipping methods to always show as “enabled” or “disabled“, regardless of the actual setting.
  • Removed semaphore used to prevent multiple calls of shipping method’s initialisation. The bug in WC 2.4 that caused it to occur seems to have been fixed by the WooCommerce team.
  • Updated UI for Table Rates Shipping plugin. This update fixes the issue that prevented the sections in the Table Rates Shipping settings from collapsing and expanding.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – WC 2.4 bulk edit bug fix

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.5.150907. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bulk edit of variations. With the introduction of Ajax to handle variations, the bulk edit feature changed radically in WooCommerce 2.4. Unfortunately, unlike WooCommerce, our plugin cannot simply handle variation prices with the “Ajax only” logic, as that would not work in WC 2.3 and earlier. As always, backward compatibility is one of our top priorities, and we found a solution to maintain it while still taking advantage of the new Ajax features.
    To solve the issue, we implemented brand new logic to bulk edit variations’ currency prices, which will be used from WooCommerce 2.4 onward. For earlier WC versions, our Currency Switcher will automatically load and use the previous logic, seamlessly.

More great plugins now support our WooCommerce Currency Switcher

Support for our multi-currency solution is growing

We are delighted to inform you that, day by day, more developers are recognising the importance of adding support for multi-currency environments to their plugins. When we released our plugin, the WooCommerce Currency Switcher, in 2013, we were pioneers in this field. At the time, not only there wasn’t any solution to make WooCommerce truly multi-currency, but there was nobody interested in developing one, either.

At the time, we were told by many developers that supporting multiple currencies was “impossible“, that there was no way to make the shop work correctly with more than one currency, and that no merchant would ever be interested in having such feature on their site. We are proud to say that we proved them wrong.

The ever-growing popularity of our Currency Switcher, and our other internationalisation solutions, such as Prices by Country, Tax Display by Country, and EU VAT Assistant, is now attracting the interest of many developers, who regularly contact us to see how they can extend their solutions to support multi-currency environments. As always, we are happy to help our colleagues in their endeavours, and pleased to see that so many want to join our project.

Two (and a half) more plugins join the multi-currency world

As the title indicates, we are happy to announce that two (and a half) more plugins have now been updated to support out multi-currency solution:

  • WooCommerce Multiple Free Gift This plugin allows you to easily grant gifts to your customers, based on flexible, custom criteria. Rules such as “buy X, get Y free“, or “free gifts with any purchase” can be created easily, and applied to your customer’s cart automatically. We would like to thank its author, Ankit Pokhrel, for the good job he did, testing and extending his plugin together with our Currency Switcher to achieve maximum compatibility.
  • WooCommerce Role Based Price This is a great plugin for the merchant who is dealing with different types of customers. As the name indicates, the Role Based Price plugin allows to sell products at different prices, depending on the role held by a customer. Wholesalers, consumers, VIP clients, they can all get their own, dedicated price.The integration with our Currency Switcher now allows you to enter such prices ineach of the currencies you enabled, greatly increasing your pricing options.We would like to thank Varun Sridharan for the effort he put into adding multi-currency support to his plugin. He is a great example of dedication, and his excellent work reflects that.
  • WooCommerce Product Fees This is the “half” plugin that we mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph. The reason why we call it “half” will be clear shortly.The WooCommerce Product Fees plugin was released on the 25th August 2015 by Caleb Burks, a member of WooThemes Support Team and, less than 24 hours later, we had extended it with full support for multiple currencies. Our integration added support for per-currency product fees, with automatic conversions as a fallback, while still maintaining full backward compatibility with single-currency environments.The above took us less than two hours of work, which is a great indicator of how easy it is to interface with our multi-currency solution.
    Why “half” plugin?
    Unfortunately, the author of the WooCommerce Product Fees plugin informed that, although our integration worked perfectly, he deemed it not to be important enough to be included in the main release. He reckoned that it would add unnecessary complexity, therefore he decided to leave the integration out for the moment, and to review it at a later stage. We respectfully disagree with such decision, for two reasons:

    1. Our extension required very few changes in the original code, and it doesn’t make the plugin much more complex.
    2. It’s easier to “think multi-currency” from the beginning of a plugin’s development, rather than try to “retrofit” such feature in a more complex product months, or years later.
  • Of course, we do not want to enforce our vision and goals on anybody. We believe in collaboration, and freedom of choice is of utmost importance to us. We limited ourselves to explaining in detail why we believe that our integration should be part of the Product Fees plugin, and we will be happy to help Caleb in implementing it in the future. In the meantime, if you would like how a multi-currency aware of Product Fees plugin could work, you can get it from our Github fork: https://github.com/aelia-co/WooCommerce-Product-Fees.Important: please note that we only extended the first version of the plugin, which might have now been updated by its author. If you download the latest version of the Product Fees plugin, you will probably have to re-apply our changes to it.

Acknowledgements

We do understand that, despite one’s best effort, it’s not always viable to extend an existing product to work seamlessly in a multi-currency environment, and we appreciate all the effort put into it, no matter the final outcome. We would like to take the opportunity to extend our thanks to all the developers who worked on an integration, whether they decided to complete it or not. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and contributions!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.9.1.160118. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – EDD 2.5 improvements

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.3.9.160115. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Rewritten and improved integration with EDD 2.5:
    • Added new logic to load order data in order currency, in Admin section. The latest version of Easy Digital Downloads includes new hooks that make it easier to load the correct data for display in the Admin section. We took advantage of these new hooks to improve the user experience.
    • Fixed bug that prevented the saving of tax totals. Tax totals are now saved in a separate field. We added some extra checks to make sure that these new fields are handled correctly.
    • Fixed display bug that showed the incorrect details in the payment history page. If you enable the “Show order amounts in both order currency and base currency in Payment History” option, which you can find in Downloads > Currency Switcher > Options, the Payment History page will show you the order totals in both the currency in which the order was placed, and the shop’s base currency. A bug due to a change in EDD 2.5 caused the total in base currency to show the wrong figure.

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – EDD 2.5 orders fix and support for dynamic caching

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.3.8.160115. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug in tracking of order amounts in Easy Digital Downloads 2.5. The bug was caused by a radical change in EDD 2.5. The new architecture caused EDD to unexpectedly trigger events related to new orders multiple times in a row (version 2.4 and earlier don’t have this issue). As a result, the order amounts were converted multiple times, resulting in incorrect figures.
  • Fixed conflict with new EDD_Payment class. This new class, introduced in EDD 2.5, is a rough equivalent of the Order class that our Currency Switcher introduced in 2014. While it’s a welcome addition to the EDD architecture, it caused conflicts with our plugin. This update addresses such conflicts.
  • Changed storage of selected currency to use cookies. This new system will allow to use dynamic caching, like it’s done with the Currency Switcher for WooCommerce.
  • Fixed display bugs in Admin area with EDD 2.5:
    • Fixed display of currency symbol in Dashboard.
    • Fixed display of order currency in Order Edit page.

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – EDD 2.5 compatibility fix

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.3.5.160108. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed error at checkout. The error, which was thrown when the checkout process completed, was due to the fact that EDD 2.5 triggers multiple calls to the functions that process the order metadata. Many of those calls lack the information expected by the Currency Switcher, which was unable to complete the order processing. Triggering multiple calls could be considered a bug in EDD, therefore we added checks to make sure that our plugin processes the order metadata only when all the necessary data is available.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved Bundles support

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.8.14.151214. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Moved integration with Bundles plugin to an external addon. We started removing all built-in integrations from the Currency Switcher, and we will soon distribute them as separate addons. This operation has several purposes:
    • Make the main plugin lighter, by removing all non-core features. Customers who still need the integration can use the new addons, as required.
    • Highlight that we provide those integrations as a temporary solution. Developers of the 3rd party plugins should make their products multi-currency aware, as that is a simple. By having a separate, independent addon, 3rd party developers will be able to inspect our code more easily, focusing only on what refers to their products, and import our integration in the main release of their plugin.
  • Extended WC_Aelia_CurrencyPrices_Manager::convert_product_price_from_base(). The method now accepts a product and a price type, which are passed to the wc_aelia_cs_convert_product_price filter. The new information will make it easier for hooks to determine the context in which the filter runs, and take appropriate action.
  • Fixed rendering of prices for grouped products in the frontend. The prices for grouped products are now displayed correctly in WooCommerce 2.3 and later.
  • Fixed currency code for Bulgarian Lev. The Currency Switcher used code “BGL”, which is incorrect. The code has now been replaced by “BGN”.
  • Optimised performance of currency prices manager. Added caching of base currency.

New product – WooCommerce Bundles Addon for Currency Switcher

The WooCommerce Bundles Integration Addon for WooCommerce Currency Switcher is now available for download, free of charge.

This plugin extends the WooCommerce Bundles plugin, and integrates with our popular multi-currency solution, the WooCommerce Currency Switcher. This addon will add features such as automatic conversion of product prices and manual pricing of bundles in multiple currencies.

We released this extension as a temporary solution to make the Bundles plugin multi-currency aware, to give its authors the time to add such features natively, in the official releases of their products.

Like our other addons, installing this plugin is as simple as uploading and enabling it. The multi-currency features will be applied to the Bundles plugin automatically, no configuration is required.

Didn’t the Currency Switcher already support WooCommerce Bundles?

Indeed, our Currency Switcher included some support for the Bundles plugin. However, soon after we implemented such integration we realised that it was not an ideal approach, for several reasons:

  • Our Currency Switcher extends WooCommerce core, adding multi-currency capabilities to it. It also exposes an API that 3rd party plugins can use. It’s therefore reasonable to expect that 3rd party plugins should be able to work with a multi-currency core, instead of having the Currency Switcher trying to “inject” currency capabilities into all products on the market. Quite simply, the former operation is relatively easy, while the latter is not possible.
  • Having integrations included within the Currency Switcher made it bulkier and harder to support. When the Bundles plugin was updated, introducing many breaking changes, we had to change the Currency Switcher code to deal with them. That involved the risk of breaking something else in the process.
  • Integrations embedded within a plugin’s core are features that many customers may not need (if you don’t run the Bundles plugin, the integration code is still there). It’s better to keep them separate, so that only shops that need them have to install them.
  • External integrations will make it easier for us to send the relevant code to the developers of 3rd party plugins, for their inclusion in the 3rd party plugins’ releases. Developers will be able to review our code more easily, and understand how to extend their products to add native multi-currency support.

In the future, we will remove all integrations from within the Currency Switcher core, and move them to temporary external integrations. The goal will be to have the 3rd party developers make their plugins natively multi-currency, we will eventually dismiss the external integrations altogether.

How you can help

If you use the a 3rd party plugin, and would like it to have full multi-currency support, simply contact its developers to register your interest. We will be able to give them all the information they need to add multi-currency capabilities to their product, as well as the code we may already  have written to “patch” their plugin. The multi-currency community is growing, and with your help can get stronger!

In the meantime, enjoy another high quality product from Aelia!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Fix for Dynamic Pricing price display

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.9.11.160928. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed display of on sale/discounted prices with the Dynamic Pricing plugin. The Dynamic Pricing plugin uses its own internal logic to show products as “on sale” when a discount is applicable. This patch ensures that such logic will work correctly when the Currency Switcher is active.
    Note: the fix had already been implemented in the Currency Switcher 4.3.7.160816. If you use that version, you won’t need to download this update.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Fix for Logger in WooCommerce 2.6

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.9.10.160722. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added workaround for logging issue introduced by WooCommerce 2.6. WC 2.6 may trigger “loggable” events too early, when the required WordPress functions are not yet loaded. The workaround will prevent the logger from crashing when the log messages are triggered too early.
  • Added workaround for caching of variable product prices, to ensure that the correct prices are displayed when the exchange rates are updated.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Handling of orphaned variations in WC 2.6

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.9.9.160617. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added handling of new exceptions introduced in WooCommerce 2.6 in relation to orphaned variations. Up until WooCommerce 2.5.x, variations without a parent were treated like any other, and ignored silently after being loaded. In WooCommerce 2.6, the logic was changed, so that such variations are considered “broken”.  When this happens, the ecommerce throws a fatal error when an invalid variation is loaded, and causes the site to crash. This update for the Currency Switcher introduces new checks to handle invalid variations gracefully, simply ignoring them like it was done before.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Performance improvement with variable products

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.9.8.160530. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved performance of price handling with variable products. Removed legacy logic used to ensure compatibility with initial (and buggy) releases of WooCommerce 2.4. This change can speed up the handling and conversion of variable product prices up to 30%.
  • Improved compatibility with Table Rates Shipping, by BolderElements. Added handling of the “shipping_free” attribute (minimum cart amount for free shipping) and free shipping thresholds in the table rate pricing.
  • Fixed bug in currency conversion function. The bug caused the conversion to use currency’s default decimals when zero decimals were specified.

Shipping Pricing for Currency Switcher – Improvements for WooCommerce 2.6 Beta 2

WooCommerce Shipping Pricing Integration – What’s new

Our Shipping Pricing Integration Add-on for WooCommerce Currency Switcher has been updated to version 1.2.3.160516. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added support for new features introduced in WooCommerce 2.6 Beta 2. The Beta 2 of WooCommerce 2.6 introduced a new interface to edit the parameters of a shipping method. When the shop owner click on the Settings link on the Shipping Zone Methods page, a new popup window opens. This window allows to change the settings of a shipping method quickly, without reloading the entire page, like it was done in the past. You can see some screenshots of the new UI below:Unfortunately, although this new feature can improve the user experience, it also has significant drawbacks. The new popup window is generated using a JavaScript library called Backbone.js. We are not aware of the reasons behind this choice, but it’s fact that, unlike the traditional WooCommerce architecture, elements built with that library are far more complicated to extend, especially when more than one plugin comes into play.This presented a significant challenge to us, for our Shipping Integration was not designed to take into account the presence of such library. Although our plugin worked fine, even in WooCommerce 2.6, with the classic user interface, handling this new popup required a significant amount of work. Backward compatibility is of paramount importance to us, and we couldn’t just rewrite everything using the new library. Basically, we needed to find a solution that would work with WooCommerce 2.6 and earlier versions, seamlessly.
    Needless to say, we found a solution (at least, until new breaking changes are introduced). Our multi-currency selector can now work directly from a Shipping Zone Methods page, as well as on the popup window. We didn’t touch the Backbone code, as we find it too hard to tweak, and relied on a “trick” instead.Below you can find the result of our efforts, the new multi-currency interface for shipping methods:
    As you can see, we tried to keep the original interface as much as possible, and added our elements in a separate area. Simplicity is the key!
  • Fixed calculation of currency specific shipping in WC 2.6 Beta 2. The calculation was broken by unexpected changes in how shipping methods are handled when they are assigned to a zone. The new shipping zones are a new concept, and they seem to be a bit of a “moving target”. We will work on fixing all the bugs caused by breaking changes as soon as we discover them.

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – Support for Fees (Shipping and Recurring Payments)

Easy Digital Downloads Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been updated to version 1.4.3.160501. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added logic to handle of EDD fees. We helped the EDD team extending the core of Easy Digital Downloads to allow the processing of fees, which may be added by 3rd party plugins. This new feature will make it possible to add multi-currency support to plugins like Simple Shipping and Recurring Payments.
  • Code cleanup. Conditionally removed filters that are obsolete in the new versions of EDD.
  • Improvements
    • Added logic to prevent double conversion of variations’ prices.

New product – WooCommerce Composite Products Addon for Currency Switcher

Use Composite Products with our Currency Switcher for WooCommerce

As announced earlier, we have been working to add multi-currency support on the Composite Products plugin. Thanks to the collective efforts of the Team, we are proud to announce the release of the first version of the WooCommerce Composite Products Integration Addon. Like the addon for the Bundles and Subscriptions integrations for WooCommerce Currency Switcher, the addon is now available for download, free of charge.

This new addon extends the WooCommerce Composite Products plugin, adding some multi-currency capabilities to it and integrating it with our popular multi-currency solution, the WooCommerce Currency Switcher. This addon will add features such as automatic conversion of composite product prices and manual pricing of each composite product, in multiple currencies.

Although our objective is to allow plugins such as Bundles and Composite Products to implement native support for multiple currencies, we released this extension as a temporary solution. This will grant the original plugin’s authors more time to add such features to the official releases of their products.

Installing this plugin is as simple as uploading and enabling it. The multi-currency features will be applied to the Composite Products plugin automatically, no configuration is required.

Would you like to help?

The Composite Products Integration is currently in Beta. If you find any issue while using it, please feel free to report it, and we will look into it.

If you find this addon useful, we would like to ask you to consider buying a support plan for it. Free addons come without support. By purchasing a plan you will get access to our top class support service, and you will help us keeping the plugin up to date.

Have fun with another high quality solution from Aelia!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Support for Composite Products

Following multiple requests from our customers, we have been working with the developers of the Bundles and Composite Products plugins to introduce full compatibility with our Currency Switcher for WooCommerce.

Support for bundles is currently provided by our free Bundles Integration Addon, which will work as a temporary solution while SomewhereWarm, the authors of the Bundles plugin, update their product. It may take a while before the same features are ported to the Composite Products plugin, therefore we decided to start testing that plugin in our environment, to determine which features should be added to make it support our Currency Switcher.

Composite Products – Compatibility Status

Our tests, performed with the Composite Products 3.6.4, indicated that the plugin is already quite compatible with our Currency Switcher. You can find more details below:

Products with per-item pricing

  • The prices of components are converted correctly. The conversion is performed on each component individually, before its price is used, and each component uses its currency-specific prices, where applicable.
  • Product’s base prices (regular and sale) are not yet converted. These values have been introduced recently, and they will have to be passed to the conversion functions.

Products with simple pricing

  • The price of the composite product is converted correctly, using exchange rates.
  • The prices in each currency are not saved, as the product requires a special processing for that purpose.

What’s next

We are going to run more tests and give the authors of the Composite Products plugin the information required to address the issues reported above.

Should we find out that it could take too long, we will try to write an addon, like the one we wrote for the Bundles plugin, as a temporary solution. If you would like to be informed when the addon is released, or you would like to contribute to its development, please feel free to contact us, and we will send you more details.

Update – 4th May 2016

The Composite Products Integration is now available, free of charge!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – WC 2.6 Support

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version

  • Compatibility with WooCommerce 2.6. Added support for the new shipping logic. Leveraged new woocommerce_shipping_zone_shipping_methods filter to ensure that shipping methods’ parameters are loaded in the correct currency.
  • Fixed bug in CloudFlare geolocation. In some cases, CloudFlare geolocation can incorrectly pass a lowercase country code. This can prevent the Currency Switcher, and several other plugins, from detecting visitor’s location correctly, as they expect an ISO ALPHA-2 code, which is uppercase. We added a patch to add this condition gracefully.
  • Fixed bug with minicart and “force currency by country” feature. The bug prevented the minicart from updating automatically when the “force currency by country” option was selected and the customer changed country using the selector widget.
  • Fixed bug in handling of coupons’ minimum and maximum prices. The bug prevented the limits from being converted properly, in some circumstances.
  • Improved WooCommerce version detection in reporting manager class. The class now uses a different logic to find out which reports to use, and returns more information if an unsupported version is found.

WP Rocket now supports Aelia Currency Switcher for WooCommerce

We have just been informed that WP Rocket 2.7 was released on the 11th March. Amongst the many improvements, in this version the WP Media team added native support for our Currency Switcher. That’s right: you can now use WP Rocket with our leading multi-currency solution, and our other WooCommerce plugins, out of the box, and there is no configuration required. They will simply work together.

WP Rocket + Aelia Currency Switcher = Lightning fast multi-currency shops

Praised by many as one of the best caching plugins on the market, in terms of speed and ease of use, WP Rocket is now an excellent choice for all the merchants who need to run busy, multi-currency WooCommerce shops and need top performance.

Thanks to its zero-configuration, smart integration, WP Rocket will detect our Currency Switcher for WooCommerce, automatically adjust its caching strategy to support multiple currencies, and serve the correct content to all visitors.

As added bonuses, WP Rocket now supports the additional features added by the Aelia plugins:

  • Geolocation
    Our products use a geolocation mechanism that we introduced long before the WC team introduced it in WooCommerce. Our solution is cache-friendly and provides better performance than the official one.
  • Prices by Country
    Customers will see the correct prices, prepared by our plugin depending on customer’s country.
  • Tax Display by Country
    Customers will  see prices including or excluding taxes, depending on customer’s country.

All the above, and more, is now available together with all the benefits of the powerful caching provided by WP Rocket.

Improving WooCommerce, together

This is the beginning of a new partnership between Aelia and WP Media. By combining the flexibility offered by our products and the performance provided by WP Rocket, we will bring the global market as close to you as possible, and expand your audience to its maximum potential.

As usual, be ready for more great news, coming soon!

WooCommerce Shipping Pricing for Currency Switcher – Support for WooCommerce 2.6

WooCommerce Shipping Pricing Integration – What’s new

Our Shipping Pricing Integration Add-on for WooCommerce Currency Switcher has been updated to version 1.2.1.160310. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added support for WooCommerce 2.6. Version 2.6 of WooCommerce introduces the concept of shipping zones, and it allows to create multiple instances of each shipping method for each zone. The Shipping Pricing plugin fully supports this new feature. When used with WooCommerce 2.6, our plugin provides a convenient user interface where you can set the shipping costs for each combination of zone, shipping method, and currency. Below you can see the new multi-currency, zone-specific shipping pricing feature in action:That’s an amazing improvement!
  • Bug fix – Fixed edge condition that affected the calculation of flat rate shipping in WooCommerce 2.5 and later. The bug caused the message “no shipping method available” to appear if shipping costs were entered for a specific currency, saved and the “manual costs” flag was set to “disabled”.
  • Bug fix – Fixed initialisation of messages controller. The controller now uses the correct text domain.
  • Tweak – Excluded shipping method templates from autoloader’s class maps, to improve performance and reduce the possibility of conflicts.

New product – WooCommerce Dynamic Pricing Addon for Currency Switcher

Use the Dynamic Pricing plugin with our Currency Switcher for WooCommerce

One of the changes we made in version 4.x of our popular Currency Switcher for WooCommerce is the removal of built-in integrations with other plugins. While embedded integrations may seem convenient, they quickly become hard to maintain, and make the main plugin larger and, potentially, slower. Due to that, we are going to extract the code to integrate for several 3rd party extensions and package as separate addons. This will simplify maintenance, and ensure that the Currency Switcher stays as lean as possible.

As you might already know, we have addons for popular plugins such as Bundles, Composite Products, Product Add-ons and Subscriptions. The latest entry in the the list of integrations is the Dynamic Pricing Addon for the Currency Switcher. This new plugin will work as a “bridge” between the Dynamic Pricing plugin and the Currency Switcher, ensuring that the discounts are converted correctly in the active currency.

Like the other Currency Switcher addons we released, the Dynamic Pricing Integration is now available for download, free of charge.

Installing this plugin is as simple as uploading and enabling it. The discounts introduced by the Dynamic Pricing plugin will be converted automatically. No configuration is required.

Note

We still encourage authors to add native support for multiple currencies in their plugins, rather than relying on external integrations. The purpose of this addon is to grant the author of the Dynamic Pricing plugin more time to add such feature the official release of his product.

Would you like to help?

The Dynamic Pricing Integration is currently in Beta. Should you encounter any issue, please feel free to report it, and we will look into it.

Please note that free plugins come without support. If you find this addon useful, we would like to ask you to consider buying a support plan for it. By purchasing a plan you will get access to our top class support service, and you will help us keeping the plugin up to date.

In the meantime, enjoy another great product from Aelia!

Currency Switcher 4.x is now available, supporting WooCommerce 2.7

Currency Switcher 4.x is available!

As announced last week, we are delighted to announce that we have just released our next major update for our popular Currency Switcher for WooCommerce. As anticipated, this version includes support for WooCommerce 2.7, and has been tested with the Release Candidate of that version.

Several of our customers opted for a preliminary test and received the new release in advance. They are now enjoying the benefits and improvements it introduces, and they are pleased of how well it works.

Here you can find a list to recap main features in this new version.

Compatibility with WooCommerce 2.7

The latest version of the Currency Switcher is compatible with the new features introduced in WooCommerce 2.7. We tested our plugin against WC 2.7 Beta 1, back in December 2016, then again with the Beta 2 and the Release Candidate version. The results have been great. Of course, we will keep testing it and address any glitch that we will find.

Optimised code, taking advantage of the Aelia Foundation Classes library

Our Aelia Foundation Classes (AFC, for short) is indeed the foundation of most of our plugins. The mini-framework we designed is flexible enough to allow us to keep the main plugins small and lean.

Also, thanks to the features in the AFC, our products can easily check the system for missing requirements, and even install other plugins they might need, with a single click. We consider ourselves “pioneers”: in an environment where packaging bulky frameworks with each plugin is common practice, we went for lean plugins, shared libraries and dependency management. It wasn’t easy, but it worked!

Better performance

We optimised the currency conversion logic in the Currency Switcher to make it easier to use it on shops with a large number of products. The currency conversion logic is now up to 80% faster. This is especially visible on sites with a high number of variable products and/or of variations.

Improved logging

To keep in line with our “lead the way philosophy”, in July 2016 we developed a flexible logging system, which we are going to use in all our plugins. Our new logger  is PSR-3 compliant, powerful and flexible. We were pleased to hear that WooCommerce 2.7 will introduce a similar logger system, as it’s a proof that we have been, and we still are, on the right track. Our plugins will keep using our own logger, and the two systems will live next to each other, transparently.

Improved geolocation

The Aelia Foundation Classes framework loads version 2 of the MaxMind Geolocation database. The database supports a finer granularity than the one included with WooCommerce. That’s what makes it possible to detect not only countries, but also provinces/states/counties and, in some cases, cities. We have been using it in our Prices by Country and Tax Display by Country plugin for over a year, with great results.

Improved reports

We extended the reporting capabilities of the Currency Switcher to allow running reports filtered by currency. Each report will show the exact total of sales made in each currency. Thanks to this feature, it will be easier to find out which currency generates the most sales, and adjust your sale strategy.

Here are some screenshots of the new reports:

The new sales report in the Currency Switcher 4.x, showing the sales made in EUR

The new sales report in the Currency Switcher 4.x, showing the sales made in USD

New shortcodes

The Currency Switcher 4.x includes a couple of new, handy shortcodes. You can use them to convert arbitrary values in on the page, or show a product price in the active currency, anywhere on your site. Here’s a brief description of how they work, together with a “live” example.

Try selecting a currency, on the right sidebar, and the values in bold will change automatically.

It’s now possible to force the currency by shipping country

We added the “force currency by billing country” to the Currency Switcher over two years ago, albeit reluctantly. For those not familiar with it, the feature allows customers to select a currency indirectly. Instead of going for the currency, they can select a billing country, and the currency changes to the one used in such country. Since we received several requests to allow binding the currency to the shipping country, we added such option to the new release.

The Currency Switcher 4.x allows to force currency by shipping country, as well as billing country.

Currencies can now be sorted in the settings page

Some of our customers asked if it would be possible to sort the enabled currencies without having to resort to a filter. We listened to our clients, and such feature is now part of the Currency Switcher. Here’s a preview of the interface that allows the sorting:

Drag the handle of each currencies to change their order, then save the settings the new sorting.

Of course, if you implemented a  filter for your custom sorting, you can keep using it, it will work just fine.

Dropped support for WooCommerce 2.3 and earlier

The Aelia Team is known for its skill in keeping full backward compatibility in all our products, even after adding or improving existing features. Our Currency Switcher 3.x was fully compatible with WooCommerce from version 2.1.x until 2.6.x, and worked seamlessly on each of those version. After a careful analysis, we realised that WooCommerce 2.3 and earlier have practically disappeared from the market. Thus, keeping the code to support those versions makes little sense. Due to this, the Currency Switcher 4.x now requires WooCommerce 2.4 or newer.

Integrations with 3rd party plugins are now external addons

The Currency Switcher used to include integrations with several 3rd party plugins. We quickly realised that, even though such solution looked convenient, the integrations don’t belong there, as not every merchant needs them. Thus, we decided to extract each integration to a separate, lightweight plugin, so that the user can install only the needed ones. The integrations will work the ones we released so far, supporting plugins such as Subscriptions, Bundles, Composite Products, Product Add-ons and, more recently, Dynamic Pricing.

To make sure that users are aware of the changes, the Currency Switcher will inform merchants when an integration is no longer included in the main plugin. The Currency Switcher will also explain how to download the replacement integration.

When will the Currency Switcher 4.x be available?

The Currency Switcher 4.x is a available now!

Will I have to pay for the new version?

If you are an existing customer, with an active licence, you can download the Currency Switcher 4.x free of charge. Simply go to the My Account section and you will find the link to download it.

If you are not yet a customer, or if your licence expired, please contact us to get the best deal to get the new version of our product.

As always, please feel free to send us any feedback you have about this new version. We would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to write us, as your feedback is what allows us to provide you with top class solutions.

Thanks for reading, and for your continued support and renewed custom.

Sincerely,

Announcing Currency Switcher 4.x, with support for WooCommerce 2.7

Currency Switcher 4.0 is coming, with great improvements

We are reviewing and updating our popular Currency Switcher for WooCommerce, in preparation for the upcoming release of WooCommerce 2.7. Our next major version will be 4.0, and it will include several updates and enhancements, which you can find listed below.

Several of our customers are already enjoying the benefits of this new release, and we received great feedback about the improvements we introduced. Here is a list of the major changes that the Currency Switcher 4.0 will bring.

Compatibility with WooCommerce 2.7

We updated the Currency Switcher to make it compatible with the new features introduced in WooCommerce 2.7. Tests of the new release against WC 2.7 Beta 1 and Beta 2 are completed, and the results have been great. We will keep testing it, to “iron all the kinks”, and ensure a smooth transition from WooCommerce 2.6 to 2.7

Optimised code, using our powerful Aelia Foundation Classes library

Several months ago, we decided to extract libraries and classes that were shared by our plugins, and move them to an external plugin, called the Aelia Foundation Classes. Then, we redesigned our products to use this new library. It was a bold move, but it paid off. Our customers are impressed by the efficiency of such solution, which allows us to keep our software small and lean. We also developed a smart dependency checker is able to detect any missing dependency and install it with one click.

We understand that it’s uncommon, in the WordPress environment, to have plugins depend on frameworks or other plugins, but that is going to change in the future. Dependencies are common in most other frameworks and Content Management Systems, and having to install a single extra plugin is a small price to pay in return for more efficient solutions. Smart dependency management is now a reality!

Better performance

The number of large WooCommerce sites is increasing constantly. In order to allow merchants who run large shops to take advantage of our multi-currency solutions, we reviewed the performance of the core elements of the Currency Switcher. The new currency conversion logic is now up to 80% faster, especially on sites with a high number of variable products, and a large number of variations.

Improved logging

At Aelia, we like to consider ourselves pioneers in introducing great and useful features. When we heard that WooCommerce 2.7 will also introduce a new logging system, we had a moment of pride: we introduced an equally flexible, if not more powerful, logging system in our Aelia Foundation Classes, back in Q3 2016. Our new logging system will be used by all our plugins, running in parallel to the one added to WooCommerce, without interfering with it. It will make it possible for us to assist your customers more effectively, and troubleshoot issues quickly.

Improved geolocation

The Aelia Foundation Classes includes version 2 of the MaxMind Geolocation database, which is updated automatically, on a weekly basis. This is the same database that our Tax Display by Country and Prices by Country plugins already use, which is more flexible than the one used in Currency Switcher 3.x.

Improved reports

Following our valued customers’ feedback, we extended the reporting capabilities of the Currency Switcher. Reports can now show sales filtered by currency, showing the exact total of sales made in each currency. Such feature will make it easy to find out which currency generates the most sales, and adjust sale strategies accordingly.

You can find some screenshots of the new reports below:

The new sales report in the Currency Switcher 4.x, showing the sales made in EUR

The new sales report in the Currency Switcher 4.x, showing the sales made in USD

New shortcodes

The Currency Switcher 4.x includes new shortcodes that can be used to convert arbitrary values in on the page, as well as displaying a product price in the active currency anywhere on the site. You can see them in action below.

Try selecting a currency, on the right sidebar, to see the above value changes.

Support for forcing currency by shipping country

The “force currency by billing country” feature was introduced long ago. As the name implies, it allows to force the active currency to the one used in the billing country selected by the customer. Although we normally recommend not to use such feature (the Currency Switcher wad designed to grant customers the freedom to choose the currency in which they want to pay), we have received several requests to extend it, and now the currency selection can be tied to the shipping country, rather than the billing one.

The Currency Switcher 4.x allows to force currency by shipping country, as well as billing country.

End of support for WooCommerce 2.3 and earlier

At Aelia, we pride ourselves in our ability to include backward compatibility in all our products. Our Currency Switcher 3.x is fully compatible with WooCommerce from version 2.1.x until 2.6.x. Despite such impressive feat, we realised that WooCommerce 2.3 and earlier versions are rarely in use, and maintaining the code to support it makes little sense. Due to this. the Currency Switcher 4.x will require WooCommerce 2.4 or later.

Separation of integrations with 3rd party plugins

Some of the integrations with 3rd party plugins are currently part of the Currency Switcher’s core, although they don’t belong there. They were originally included in our main product as a temporary, quick patch, and it’s now time for some housekeeping. We will progressively extract the integrations to separate plugins, like the ones we released for the Subscriptions, Bundles, Composite Products and Product Add-ons plugins.

To make sure that users are aware of the changes, the Currency Switcher will notify the site administrator when an integration has been removed from it, and propose an alternative solution to it.

When will the Currency Switcher 4.x be available?

The Currency Switcher 4.x is already stable, and can be used on WooCommerce 2.6 (we have been using it on our own site for months now). It also works fine with WooCommerce 2.7 Beta 2, which is the latest public release. We plan to release our major update when WooCommerce 2.7 reaches Release Candidate 1, to make sure that we can address any glitch that might have “slipped through the cracks.”

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Support for Bundles 5.0 and 5.1

Bundles Integration for Currency Switcher – What’s new

The Bundles Addon for the WooCommerce Currency Switcher has been updated to version 1.2.0.161222. This update introduces support for Bundles 5.0.x and preliminary support for the changes introduced in version 5.1 of the plugin. This will make sure that bundle prices will be converted correctly.

Please note that, since version 5.1 of the Bundles plugin is brand new, there might still be bugs that we need to find and address. We would recommend to keep using version 5.0 for the moment, until all issues have been solved.

If you are already using the integration, you should receive a notification about the update soon. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can download it, free of charge, from the plugin page: https://aelia.co/shop/woocommerce-bundles-integration-currency-switcher/.

Although free addons are outside the scope of our support service, if you find any issue please feel free to contact us by using our dedicated support portal. We will review your report and get back to you with our feedback as soon as possible.

Important – You can help!

We are aware of the importance of being able to run a multi-currency shop. In the past three years, we have been campaigning to encourage other developers to introduce native support for multiple currencies, directly in their plugins, instead of having to rely on external integrations (whose capabilities are limited).

As part of our efforts, we contacted the authors of both the Bundles and the Composite Products plugin, as well as many others, to discuss such feature, and provided them with all the information they need to make their plugins multi-currency aware. Unfortunately, the Bundles plugin v5.1 introduced significant changes that seem to go in the opposite direction: some of the new logic added to it is based on the strict (and incorrect) assumption that the shop can only have one currency. Such logic could break if multiple currencies come into play, and cause bundle prices to be calculated or displayed incorrectly.

This is not something that can be addressed by an external solution, such our Bundles Integration. The flaw is in the “single currency” assumption, and it must be fixed directly in the Bundles plugin.

How you can help

If your multi-currency shop relies on the Bundles plugin, you should contact its authors and let them know that having the possibility of running a shop with multiple currencies is of critical importance to you, and that you would like to see such feature introduced in the Bundles and Composite Products plugin. The developers are aware of our solutions, and they have our contact details. We will be more than happy to assist them adding multi-currency support to their products.

Please keep in mind that the more customers require such feature, the sooner it will be introduced!

Thanks in advance for your time and for your continued support!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved Yahoo! Finance integration

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 3.9.13.161104. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved Yahoo! Finance integration. The integration logic is now faster, and it handles an edge case in which the Yahoo! server returns data in a format different from the expected one.
  • Improved installation process. The installation script that processes historical orders can now handle more efficiently edge cases such as a site with many orders and a low memory limit, and it’s also faster.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Optimised installation process, better support for WP Engine

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.4.171109. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Rewritten the installation process to improve compatibility with hosting providers like WP Engine. When the Currency Switcher runs for the first time, it processes the existing orders to make sure that the reports show the correct figures. This process is important, and can take time to complete, especially if a large amount of orders is present. This operation has to be performed only once and, in normal circumstances, it works fine. In some cases, however, the execution limit enforced by hosting providers can affect the processing of orders. If that operation runs for too long, the server can halt it.
    Some hosting providers, such as WP Engine, need to focus on performance, and enforce strict limits on how long a process can run. Due to that, the installation process risks being interrupted before it completes. This can result in a frustrating experience for the merchant.In this update, we altered the logic used to process past orders so that it handles them in chunks. Every time an admin page loads, the Currency Switcher loads the next chunk of orders, until all of them have been processed. This will minimise the risk of timeout on most managed WP hosting providers, and improve the user experience for the merchants.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved user experience on settings page

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.2.171019. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved settings page. We improved the logic that validates the settings before allowing the merchant to save them. This will reduce the confusion caused by conditions in which the settings were apparently saved correctly, but the Currency Switcher reported errors related to them.
    Additionally, when Open Exchange Rates is the selected FX rates provider, the new logic prompts the merchant to enter an API key for that service, or to select another provider. This will make sure that the FX rates will be fetched correctly.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Maintenance release for WooCommerce 3.2 (shipping)

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.1.171012. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Removed notice related to the conversion of shipping costs in WooCommerce 3.2. In some circumstances, the conversion of shipping costs could trigger a notice related to deprecated elements in WooCommerce 3.2. The notice didn’t necessarily cause any issue, but it could increase the size of the log file. We added a check to prevent that from occurring.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved support for WooCommerce 3.2 and unique mini-cart IDs

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.1.170912. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved compatibility with WooCommerce 3.2. The latest version of WooCommerce introduces some breaking changes that affect the calculation of shipping. The changes prevented the Currency Switcher from converting the shipping costs to the active currency. This issue has now been covered.
  • Improved support for unique mini-cart IDs. WooCommerce 3.1.x introduced a new logic to identify the content of the mini-cart, using a unique identifier for each session. We updated our plugin to take this into account, and ensure that the mini-cart contents are updated as needed, showing amounts in the correct currency.

WooCommerce Product Table and Password Protection plugins now support Currency Switcher and Prices by Country

Barn2 Media’s WooCommerce plugins now include multi-currency support

The Barn2 Media team just informed us that their WooCommerce extensions now include native support for our popular Currency Switcher and Prices by Country plugins. This means that you can benefit from the internationalisation features provided by our solutions when creating interactive pricing tables, or adding password protected areas to your site.

Would you like to know what this means for your shop? Here we go!

WooCommerce Product Table

List products in table format, in your customers’ currency and local price

WooCommerce Product Table is Barn2 Media’s bestselling plugin. It lists WooCommerce products in a sortable, searchable table view, which can also be filtered.

Product tables are useful for WooCommerce wholesale stores and bulk order forms, as well as large catalogues. They list products in a structured table layout, with more information displayed per page than the standard product pages show. The list includes details such as attributes, variations and custom fields. Customers can also purchase the products directly from the list page, which acts as a one-page order form.

If you’re using WooCommerce Product Table with our Currency Switcher or Prices by Country plugins, then the lists will automatically display the correct price for each customer, in their currency, and visitors can buy them with one click. This creates a seamless experience for your customers, which can greatly increase your conversions.

WooCommerce Password Protected Categories and Private Store

Create hidden areas within WooCommerce

Barn2 Media developed two plugins to protect or hide content within your WooCommerce shop. WooCommerce Password Protected Categories creates hidden areas which work alongside the public parts of your store. WooCommerce Private Store creates a completely hidden store – no one who visits your website will even know that you have an online shop!

As you probably guessed, these plugins are a useful addition to shops that handle wholesale customers, allowing to show some, or all products, only to customers who have specific accounts. Like the Product Tables, these plugins work beautifully with both Currency Switcher and Prices by Country. The correct currency and local price for each customer is displayed automatically on both the public and private areas of your WooCommerce store.

Acknowledgements

We’d like to thank the team at Barn2 Media for listening to the ever-increasing number of merchants who rely on our internationalisation solutions, and for their efforts in adding multi-currency support to their WooCommerce extensions.

Thanks for reading, and see you soon for more exciting news!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Re-release of version 4.4.12.170407

We re-released WooCommerce Currency Switcher 4.4.2.170407

Yesterday we released a hotfix for the Currency Switcher for WooCommerce, to address the glitches suddenly introduced by WooCommerce 3.0.1. The plugin we released contained a small glitch that prevented sale prices from being displayed and processed correctly on the frontend. We fixed the glitch as soon as we found it, but it might be possible that you had already downloaded the update at the time we re-released the plugin.

If you are experiencing an issue related to products’ sale price, we would recommend that you download the Currency Switcher again. The latest version is still 4.4.2.170407, but the plugin now contains a fix for the glitch with the sale prices.

The ELEX DHL Shipping plugin now supports our Aelia Currency Switcher

DHL Shipping and Currency Switcher, now working together

Updated December 2019

This article was originally published in December 2017. The XAdapter DHL Shipping plugin is now called ELEX DHL Shipping, and it’s developed and maintained by ELEXtensions.

In the past weeks, we have been working with the team at ELEX to add support for our WooCommerce Currency Switcher to their DHL Shipping plugin. The target was to make their shipping plugin more flexible, and to make it possible to interact with the shipping calculation process, to ensure the correct calculation of prices in all currencies.

We are happy to inform you that the integration is now complete. Starting from version 3.4.3, the DHL Shipping plugin includes the filters and actions we added in a modified version to make multi-currency support possible. Thanks to this filter, it’s now possible to interact with the shipping plugin and ensure accurate shipping costs. Sounds great? Good! Keep reading to learn how to implement the solution on your site!

Getting started

Adding multi-currency support to the DHL shipping on your site is a matter of performing three simple steps:

  1. Update the ELEX DHL Shipping plugin. Make sure that you are running version 3.4.3 or later.
  2. Add a simple filter to your theme’s functions.php file, as described in ELEX’s knowledge base:  WooCommerce DHL Express/Paket Shipping Plugin – How to use the DHL shipping plugin with the Currency Switcher plugin. The filter is what allows the DHL plugin and our Currency Switcher to work together, to ensure the accuracy of the shipping calculations.
  3. Alter the filter you just added, replacing the currency in it with the code of your shop’s base currency. For example, if your base currency is EUR, simply replace the “ZAR” from the example with “EUR”.

You’re now ready to go! The custom filter you just added will tell the DHL Shipping plugin to fetch the shipping costs in your shop’s base currency, and our Currency Switcher will take care of converting them to the correct active currency on the cart page and at checkout.

Should you have any questions about using the DHL Shipping with our Currency Switcher, please contact the ELEX Support Team. They will be happy to assist you in configuring their shipping plugin on your site.

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Improved logic in “force currency by country”

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – What’s new

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce has been updated to version 4.5.7.171124. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved “force currency by country” logic. The new logic makes sure that the “currency by country” takes priority over other selections. This will prevent the confusing scenario where, even with the option enabled, it was possible to select a currency manually, only to see it changing back when opening a new page.
  • Improved currency selector widget. The widget now shows clearer error messages when the currencies are not configured correctly. We also added a message to make it clearer to shop owners that, when the “force currency by country” option is enabled, the currency selector widget has no effect.
  • Fixed price filter widget in WooCommerce 3.2.x. An undocumented change in the price filter widget prevented the conversion of the selected price range. We added a new check that makes the Currency Switcher aware of the change, so that the filtering range is converted correctly.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Compatibility with WooCommerce 4.3

WooCommerce Currency Switcher and WooCommerce 4.3

We have been testing our Currency Switcher with WooCommerce 4.3 and we haven’t encountered compatibility issues so far. We will keep testing the new version to ensure maximum compatibility. We’re going to release an update for the Currency Switcher, as well as other plugins, to indicate compatibility with the new version.

Support for the new WooCommerce Stats widget

WooCommerce 4.3 includes a new home page in the Admin section, which shows some useful statistics about the shop’s performance. You can read the announcement on the WooCommerce blog: Meet the new WooCommerce Home. We have been working to implement an integration with this new widget directly in the Currency Switcher, to make sure that the totals are correct, in shop’s base currency, like it already happens with the standard reports.

As of today (29 June 2020), such integration is still incomplete, due to the lack of some filters in the WooCommerce Admin tool. That tool is the one that displays the WooCommerce Stats widget, after collecting the order data, and it’s the one to which the Currency Switcher needs to “talk” to make sure that the figures are correct. This communication has already been implemented on the Currency Switcher side, we just need to test it. To be able to do that, we will first need to wait until the authors of the WooCommerce Admin add the required filters to that addon.

As soon as the WooCommerce Admin will allow us to complete the integration, we will run all the necessary tests and release an update for the Currency Switcher with the “totals in base currency” feature. As wrote in an earlier post, we aim to bring all the WooCommerce Admin Analytics up to speed, in terms of features, with the standard reports provided by WooCommerce.

Should you have any questions about our Currency Switcher, our other products, or the integration with the new versions of WooCommerce, please feel free to contact us. We’ll be ready to answer.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Compatibility with WooCommerce 4.1

WooCommerce Currency Switcher and WooCommerce 4.1

We have been testing our Currency Switcher with WooCommerce 4.1 since the release of the Beta version, a few weeks ago. We haven’t encountered compatibility issues so far, we will keep testing the new version to ensure maximum compatibility.

Support for the WooCommerce Admin dashboard

WooCommerce 4.1 still includes the new WooCommerce Admin dashboard, which allows to generate reports about sales, revenue and taxes. We worked with the authors of the WooCommerce Admin tool to make it more flexible, so that it’s now possible to run reports filter by currency. Below is an example of this new filter:

The Aelia Currency Switcher allows to filter the analytics reports by currency.

Work in progress

This feature allows to run currency-specific report, and see the revenue in each currency. As an advancement since WooCommerce 4.0, selecting a currency also changes the currency symbol displayed on the page. As of today, there is still one feature missing from this integration: the analytics tool can’t generate a report with all totals in base currency. This is because the WooCommerce Admin tool stores its own copy of aggregate sales data, which doesn’t include base currency amounts, and doesn’t offer a way to alter the queries it runs to perform such calculations.

We are still discussing the implementation of such filters into the WooCommerce Admin tool. As soon as the WooCommerce Admin will allow us to do so, we will extend the analytics reports to implement a “totals in base currency” option. It’s our target to bring them up to speed, in terms of features, with the standard ones provided by WooCommerce. In the meantime, the “grand totals in base currency” feature is still available in the standard WooCommerce reports.

As always, if you have any questions about the upcoming version of WooCommerce and its new features, please feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to answer.

WooCommerce Currency Switcher – Compatibility with WooCommerce 4.0

WooCommerce Currency Switcher and WooCommerce 4.0

We have been testing our Currency Switcher with WooCommerce 4.0 since the release of the Beta version, a few weeks ago. We haven’t encountered compatibility issues so far, we will keep testing the new version to ensure maximum compatibility.

Support for the WooCommerce Admin dashboard

WooCommerce 4.0 will include the new WooCommerce Admin dashboard, which allows to generate reports about sales, revenue and taxes. The WooCommerce Admin tool is still fairly rigid and it offers limited possiiblity of customisation, especially from a multi-currency perspective, so we are working its authors to make it more flexible.

One of the features that we are planning to release soon is the possibility of filtering the WooCommerce Admin reports by currency (see below):

The Aelia Currency Switcher allows to filter the analytics reports by currency.

Work in progress on missing features

This feature will make it possible to run currency-specific report, and see the revenue in each currency. Still, due to current limitations in the WooCommerce Admin architecture, two features will be missing:

  1. The currency symbol displayed on the pages is always the one for shop’s base currency. For example, if your shop’s base currency is EUR, and you run the analytics for USD, you will see USD amounts, but you will still see the symbol for EUR. This is a known issue, due to the fact that the WC Admin tool doesn’t allow to override the symbol.
  2. For the moment, the analytics tool can’t generate a report with all totals in base currency. That feature is still available in the standard WooCommerce reports. This is because the WooCommerce Admin tool stores its own copy of aggregate sales data, which doesn’t include base currency amounts. Without such data, the totals in base currency can’t be calculated.

The above are two of the aspects that we are reviewing with the authors of the WooCommerce Admin tools. As soon as the reporting logic will become sufficiently flexible, we will extend the analytics reports. It’s our target to bring them up to speed, in terms of features, with the standard ones provided by WooCommerce.

Of course, should you have any questions about the upcoming version of WooCommerce and its new features, please feel free to contact us. We’ll be ready to answer.

Advanced Coupons, by Rymera Web, now supports our Aelia Currency Switcher

Multi-currency offers with Advanced Coupons and Aelia Currency Switcher

Our friend Josh Kohlbach, from the Rymera Web Team, informed us that they released a new version of their Advanced Coupons plugin. This update introduces full compatibility with our multi-currency solution, the Aelia Currency Switcher for WooCommerce.

The challenge with multi-currency coupons

Many of the plugins that handle coupons, or special offers, work with the assumption that the shop will always have one currency. Due to that, they treat all prices as absolute values, and can apply discounts incorrectly in a multi-currency environment. For example:

  • A coupon for 10 USD could reduce the price by an amount of “10”, whether the product price is 100 USD, 90 EUR or 80 GBP. The resulting price would then become 90 USD (correct), 80 EUR (incorrect) and 70 GBP (incorrect).
  • An offer like “buy one, get one for 50 USD” could be interpreted by the coupon plugin as “buy one, get one for 50 USD/EUR/GBP“. The discount in USD would be correct, whereas the others would be wrong.
  • An offer like “free shipping when you spend 50 USD or more” could be interpreted by the coupon plugin as “free shipping when you spend 50 USD/EUR/GBP or more“. That would offer free shipping with the correct order amount in USD, and a higher order amount in EUR and GBP.

In the above scenarios, the error stems from the fact that the amounts entered in USD are taken as absolute values, even when the currency changes. Instead, they should be converted to their EUR and GBP counterparts.

The solution

The Advanced Coupons plugin can solve this issue, thanks to its new, native integration with our Aelia Currency Switcher. As soon as you enable it, the plugin will automatically detect our multi-currency solution and perform the conversion of your discounts, automatically. This is transparent and doesn’t require any configuration.

Is really it that easy? As you can see in the video you find below, it’s indeed easy!

What’s the advantages in using the Advanced Coupons plugin?

The Advanced Coupons plugin includes powerful features that allow you to increase your sales. Among the key features:

  • Add products with a coupon. The customer enters a coupon code, and a product is added to the cart automatically.
  • “Buy one, get one free (or discounted)” offers. Allow customers to buy multiple products, at a reduced price.
  • Shipping discounts. Offer a cheaper, or even free, shipping option when a minimum order total is reached.
  • Loyalty programs. This is a very powerful feature, that few other plugins can offer in a multi-currency environment. It allows your customers to accrue points and spend them later on your shop, while calculating the correct amount of points for each currency. For example, if you offer 1 point for every 1 USD spent, a customer who spends 150 EUR will get approximately 167 points (150 EUR to USD = ~167.45 USD = 167 points).

Multi-currency special offers at your fingertips

If you wish to run special offers on your multi-currency site, in conjunction with our Aelia Currency Switcher, the Advanced Coupons plugin is your solution. Install, enable, and you’re ready to go. On top of that, both solutions are backed by a top notch customer service, ready to assist you with any question you might have. You can also find the announcement of the integration on the official site of the coupons plugin: Multi Currency Aware Coupons With Currency Switcher for WooCommerce.

If you have any questions about the Advanced Coupons plugin and its multi-currency integration, please feel free to contact the Advanced Coupons Team. They will get back to you in no time.

Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!

The Aelia Shipping Pricing Addon is now included in the Aelia Currency Switcher

We are pleased to announce that the Aelia Shipping Pricing plugin, originally distributed as a separate addon for the Aelia Currency Switcher, will been bundled with the main plugin starting from version 4.11.x of the Currency Switcher. We took the decision of merging the two plugins after reviewing our sale statistics. The vast majority of our customers use both plugins together, therefore it made sense to release them as a single product.

This new distribution model brings several advantages:

  1. Easier maintenance. The licence for the Currency Switcher covers both the main plugin and the addon, so you won’t have to remember to renew two of them.
  2. Easier updates. The Shipping Pricing addon will “follow” the Currency Switcher at every update, reducing the chance of issues caused by old versions that were not updated.
  3. Lower price. The Aelia Currency Switcher with the Shipping Pricing addon included is cheaper than the current price of the two separate plugins.

What this means for our customers

If you’re using the Aelia Currency Switcher with the Shipping Pricing Addon as a separate plugin, you will soon see a notice informing you that the addon has been bundled with the Currency Switcher. The notice will look like the following:

The plugin “Aelia Shipping Pricing for Currency Switcher” is now included with the Aelia Currency Switcher

This plugin is now included in the Aelia Currency Switcher and no longer has to be installed separately. You can go to the Plugins page, then disable and remove plugin “Aelia Shipping Pricing for Currency Switcher”. Its features will remain available, as they were before.

As indicated in the message, you will just have to go to WordPress Admin > Plugins and disable the Shipping Pricing Addon. The features originally provided by that plugin will remain available via the Currency Switcher, exactly as they were before.

If you’re using only the Currency Switcher, you won’t have to do anything. You will just find the new features in the WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping page, after opening a shipping zone. Below you can find some screenshots of the Shipping Pricing Addon in action:

Your licence for the Aelia Currency Switcher will allow you to download the new version, including the Shipping Pricing features, automatically. When the licence for the Shipping Pricing addon  will expire, you will not have to do anything. In fact, you can simply delete the Shipping Pricing addon from your site after updating the Currency Switcher. As indicated, the main plugin now includes all the features from the shipping addon.

Important news about Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads (updated June 2021)

At Aelia, we aim to offer the best quality of products and services to our customers. We review our performance on a regular basis, and prepare a strategy to ensure that the high standards we set are met, or exceeded. One of the steps of the performance review is the analysis of areas that need improvement, as well as products that, for any reason, aren’t performing as well as expected. When such products are identified, we review past performance and take one of the following course of action, for each product:

  1. Evaluate the market demand of the product, as well as the challenges that may arise in the future, in relation to the product support.
  2. Compare the demand with our available resources, to ensure that we can dedicate sufficient time, to each product, to offer consistent results in terms of quality.
  3. Depending on the result of #2, take one of the following actions:
    1. If the demand is sufficient and can be met by our existing resources, adjust their allocation accordingly.
    2. If the demand is sufficient, but we have insufficient resources, prepare a plan to increase our availability.
    3. If the demand is insufficient to cover the resources dedicated to the product, we try to transfer it to a 3rd party who might be interested in it. In some cases, we might have to retire the product altogether.

During the reviews performed between 2018 and 2020, we identified a couple of products that have been underperforming. One of them appeared in each analysis, and it’s our Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads. The market demand for that solution didn’t grow as we expected, despite our efforts. In addition to that, the demand for our WooCommerce solutions grew significantly, to the point that they become the main focus of our business. As a result, we find ourselves in the difficult position of not being able to dedicate sufficient resources to Easy Digital Downloads, and the Currency Switcher we developed for it.

Future plans for the EDD Currency Switcher

Through the course of 2020, we contacted a couple of parties who showed interest in the possibility of acquiring our Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads and maintain it in the future. Although we’ve been asked not to disclose their names, we’re currently discussing with them how the transfer could take place, as well as the work involved in promoting, maintaining and supporting the existing solution. We hope that we can reach an agreement soon, so that the EDD Currency Switcher can continue to exist under another brand. Of course, we also have to take into account the possibility that the negotiations might fail. In such case, we will have to retire the Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads.

Effective immediately, we will no longer be able to offer new or renewal licences, for the EDD Currency Switcher. Of course, we will keep providing support to all the customers with an active licence, until the end of their subscription. We will also release maintenance fixes, but we won’t release major updates for the plugin.

This was a difficult decision to take, but we came to the conclusion that we have to focus on what we can do best, to ensure that we can keep our offers to the high standards that our customers have come to expect from us. Our business evolved almost exclusively around solutions for WooCommerce, and we would like to hand over the portion related Easy Digital Downloads to someone who can dedicate to it the time it deserves.

Update, March 2021: we will keep offering the EDD Currency Switcher for the time being.

Update, June 2021: following a technical review Easy Digital Downloads 3.0, we came to the conclusion that the EDD Currency Switcher would need a significant amount of changes to become compatible with the new major release. Unfortunately, that is not a viable option, from a business perspective. Due to that, we can no longer guarantee that we will be able to update the EDD Currency Switcher to support EDD 3.0. Sadly, we had to go back to our original decision, and we suspended the sale of the EDD Currency Switcher indefinitely. You can find a summary of the reasons behind this decision and the future plans for the Currency Switcher below.

Summary (tl;dr)

  1. Our performance reviews indicated that our Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads has been underperforming, with its sales not even covering the day to day support costs.
  2. Due to the low demand and resource availability, we’re no longer in the position to dedicate sufficient attention to the EDD Currency Switcher. A technical analysis of EDD 3.0 also indicated that the EDD Currency Switcher would need significant changes, to become compatible with the new major release of Easy Digital Downloads. The poor sale performance of the EDD Currency Switcher don’t allow us to allocate sufficient resources to do that.
  3. We’re currently discussing the possibility of transferring the EDD Currency Switcher to other developers, who could be interested in maintaining it. Should the negotiations be unsuccessful, we will have to retire the product.
  4. We will keep supporting the EDD Currency Switcher for customers who have an active licence. We won’t be able to offer new licences, or renew existing licences.
  5. For the time being, we will only release maintenance updates for the EDD Currency Switcher. We don’t plan to release any major update. The last version of Easy Digital Downloads supported by the Currency Switcher will be 2.9.x.

What to do if you’re using the EDD Currency Switcher

If you purchased a licence for the EDD Currency Switcher, the following will apply.

  1. You can keep using the EDD Currency Switcher. The plugin is still working fine and, as anticipated, we will honour existing licences until their expirations, and keep providing support and bug fixes. If the negotiations with the 3rd party developers will be successful, they will take care of updating the Currency Switcher in the future and provide the support service afterwards.
  2. You can keep using the EDD Currency Switcher, while planning the switch to an alternative solution. You can find a list of the available extensions on the Easy Digital Downloads website: https://easydigitaldownloads.com/3rd-party-extensions/
  3. If you have some developers who can take care of technical aspects, you can  keep using the EDD Currency Switcher, and they can maintain it for you. All our code is 100% open source and documented, to make it easier for other developers to work on it. If they have any questions, they can also contact us directly. We’re always happy to share our knowledge and experience.
  4. Since this is an extraordinary scenario, we extended our money back guarantee for the EDD Currency Switcher. If you purchased your licence on or after the 1st of March 2021, you can request a full reimbursement until the 30 June 2021.

Of course, if you have any question about the Currency Switcher for Easy Digital Downloads, or the support plans, please feel free to contact us. We will be ready to answer and clarify any doubt you might have.

If you’re a developer and you think that could be interested in acquiring our product, we would also invite you to get in touch. We will be happy to share all the information about the product, and discuss with you the terms of the transfer.

New product section open: addons for WooCommerce Currency Switcher

We are happy to announce that we opened a new product section in our shop, containing add-ons for the popular Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 2.0.x/2.1.x. This section will contain small (and not-so-small) plugins which will extend the already flexible Currency Switcher, adding integration and compatibility with 3rd party products.

Why this decision?

The Currency Switcher is our most popular product, and more users are enquiring about its compatibility with 3rd party products. As we explain in our knowledge base, the plugin was designed to work with “plain” WooCommerce and its basic features, as covering each and every 3rd party plugin and theme would be practically impossible, due to the amount of them. Despite this difficulty, in the past month with greatly extended the plugin flexibility, making it compatible with many popular products.  This, however, came at a price: the Currency Switcher started to become larger and more complex, with the added risk of making support and maintenance more difficult and expensive.

We also realised that most of our customers do not use many of the 3rd party products for which support was added, and would be happy with a more lightweight plugin. After analysing all these elements, we came to the conclusion that going “modular” was the way to go: rather than adding more and more features into the main plugin, we will split them into smaller sub-plugins, which will be easier to maintain and can be installed only when needed. This will also allow us to keep the price for the Currency Switcher low, rather than increasing it with the amount of features.

What does this mean for our customers?

With our new strategy, we aim to reach several important objectives:

  • Backward compatibility

    Maintaining backward compatibility is part of our policy, therefore you can expect the Currency Switcher to keep working as it already does. Any integration with 3rd party plugins and themes that is now part of the main plugin will stay in its place for the time being, until we will manage to gracefully migrate them into separate plugins.

  • Increased flexibility and manageability

    Splitting the integrations into lightweight sub-plugins will allow us to keep each of them light and easy to manage. Troubleshooting will also be easier, as each Currency Switcher add-on can be disabled independently from the main plugin.

  • No increase in the price of the Currency Switcher

    As explained, adding too many features to the Currency Switcher started making it harder to maintain and increased the cost of supporting it. To avoid having to increase the price of the plugin, we will give the choice to our customers to download most of the Currency Switcher add-ons completely free of charge, or to pay a small fee to cover support. This will allow our customers to get the add-ons at no cost, use them on their system (without limitation as per GPL) and eventually pay for support only when needed.

We are very excited about this news, and we think that this decision will contribute to keep the high quality that you expect from our products and services. Any feedback is welcome, so feel free to speak your mind in the comment section below!

Currency Switcher new feature: Currency Selection based on visitor’s Country – Updates

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce 1.6/2.0 has been updated to version 1.9.130624. This update adds one of the “most wanted” features, i.e. the automatic selection of a Currency based on first time visitors’ Country.

How it works

The Currency selection based on geographic location relies on the service provided by IPInfoDB. When enabled, every time a User visits your shop for the first time, the plugin will try to automatically select the currency used in his/her Country. If such currency is not enabled, then the default one will be used. This will allow your visitors to immediately see the prices in the currency they know best, increasing the conversion rate.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – Fixed handling with sales start dates – Updates

WooCommerce Prices by Country – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.4.161026. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug in handling of product sales. The bug caused the start date of the sale to be ignored in some cases. The issue would not appear when the Currency Switcher was installed, as that plugin would override the logic to determine if the product was on sale. This update ensures that start and end date of each sale are always taken into account.

Currency Switcher – “Product base currency” feature is back-Updates

Product base currency feature and variable products

We are happy to inform you that the product base currency feature is now available again for variable products. We were forced to disable it some weeks ago, following the discovery of some limitations in WooCommerce 2.2 and earlier. When we found the issue, we immediately started working on it and we sent a fix to the WooCommerce team on the 23rd of January. The fix was integrated in WooCommerce core, and included in its latest release.

WooCommerce 2.3 received several patches shortly after its release, therefore we decided to wait until the dust settled to re-test the product base currency feature. We completed the tests last week, and we have been able to restore such functionality on sites running WooCommerce 2.3 or later (unfortunately, the WooCommerce team chose not to backport our fix to earlier versions).

How to enable the feature

Enabling the “product base currency” feature on variable products is simple. Just download and install the latest version of the Currency Switcher (it must be version 3.6.21.140227 or later) and make sure that you are running WooCommerce 2.3 or later. You should now see the product base currency feature (see screenshot below).

Product base currency is now available on variable products (requires WooCommerce 2.3 or later)

If you still don’t see the feature, it’s probably because your browser has cached the styles that hide it. In such case, simply reload the page using CTRL+F5 and the new user interface will appear.

Should you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact us using our dedicated support portal. Thanks from the whole team for your continued support.

Multiple updates – WooCommerce 2.3 and more

Following the recent release of WooCommerce 2.3, we reviewed all our WooCommerce products to make sure that they will keep working with this new version. The tests highlighted a couple of issues, mostly due to unexpected changes in WooCommerce core, so we addressed them and prepared updates for the affected products.

All our updates are designed to be fully backward compatible (i.e. they should not break anything), unless otherwise specified. However, due to the quirks of installing new WooCommerce versions, we always recommend to install them on a separate staging site first. This will allow you to verify that all the functions you need keep working correctly, before modifying your production site, and remove the risk of a downtime.

Updated plugins – Details

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce – Version 3.6.19.140213

  • Added logic to work around the removal of woocommerce_available_shipping_methods filter.
  • Disabled override of Google Analytics integration in WooCommerce 2.1 and later. The Google Analytics plugin required by those versions already passes the correct currency information.

Shipping Pricing Integration for WooCommerce – Version 1.1.4.150213

  • Fixed bug in logic used to determine if a shipping method is enabled. The bug occurred with specific configurations and caused some shipping methods to be incorrectly considered enabled or disabled.
  • Fixed notice that appeared when saving the settings for a shipping method.

EU VAT Assistant for WooCommerce – Version 1.2.1.150213

  • Added support for another URL format in the HRMC Exchange Rates Provider. The new URL format was unexpectedly introduced by HMRC in February 2015, and it doesn’t match the structure of any of the previous one (perhaps it was a mistake). The update is backward compatible, and will support all URL formats used so far as well as the new one.
  • Fixed issue with self certification box at checkout. The issue was caused by a breaking change in WooCommerce 2.3, which now renders checkbox fields in a different way.

Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway for WooCommerce – Version 1.2.1.140213

  • Fixed issue introduced by WooCommerce Mijireh Checkout 1.0.2. The new WooCommerce Mijireh Checkout plugin fires events in a different order and caused the extension logic of the Mijireh Multi-Currency plugin to fail.

WooCommerce Blacklister – Version 0.8.5.150112-beta

  • Fixed error caused by the unexpected removal of a WooCommerce::add_error() method from WooCommerce core libraries.

First Data/Authipay Gateway for WooCommerce – Version 1.2.13.150211

  • Fixed error caused by the unexpected removal of a WooCommerce::logger() method from WooCommerce core libraries.

Skrill/Moneybookers Gateway for WooCommerce – Version 1.2.20.150211

  • Fixed error caused by the unexpected removal of a WooCommerce::logger() method from WooCommerce core libraries.

WooCommerce 2.3 – Product Compatibility Status

WooCommerce 2.3 was released on the 11th of February 2015, followed shortly by several updates, and we started our testing process to ensure that our plugins are compatible with it. Our results currently indicate that the new version has introduced some unexpected breaking changes that could cause our plugins not to work correctly.

We strongly recommend to install WooCommerce 2.3 on a test site first, and check that all installed plugins are working correctly, before updating your live site.

Compatibility status

Currency Switcher

We are working to fix an issue with the shipping costs not being converted. The issue has been fixed in plugin release 3.6.19.140213, available now.

We received a report of an issue related to coupons. Such issue is caused by yet another undocumented breaking change in WooCommerce 2.3, and it has been fixed in version 3.6.20.140217.

The Currency Switcher is now compatible with WooCommerce 2.3.

Currency Switcher Add-ons

Prices by Country

Compatible.

Payment Gateways

  • First Data/Authipay Gateway
    An undocumented change in WooCommerce 2.3 caused the plugin to crash. We implemented a workaround in version of 1.2.13.150211 of the product.
  • Mijireh Multi-Currency Gateway
    Compatible since version 1.2.1.140213. Requires WooCommerce Mijireh Checkout plugin 1.0.2 or later.
  • PayPal Standard Multi-Account Gateway
    Plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.3 since version 1.1.2.150422. WooCommerce 2.3 replaced the default PayPal gateway with a more complex one, which cannot be extended easily. We rewrote the PayPal multi-account plugin to work around this limitation, allowing it to work correctly with the latest version of the ecommerce.
  • Skrill Gateway
    An undocumented change in WooCommerce 2.3 caused the plugin to crash. We implemented a workaround in version of 1.2.20.150211 of the product.

EU VAT Assistant

This plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.3 since version 1.2.0.150213.

Important – Bug in the “product base currency” feature (variable products only)

Following a report from one of our customers, we reviewed the product base currency feature that we introduced recently, and we discovered that it may not always work for variable products.

Issue description

The new feature allows to set the base currency for simple products and product variations, and enter their prices in such currency. All the prices in other currencies, if left empty, are calculated automatically. This new logic, which works correctly in all cases with simple products, fails if variation prices in base currency are left empty (see screenshot below). This is due to how WooCommerce loads the variations, and it results in variation prices to be displayed as zero.

Product Base Currency Feature - Variations Bug

 

Why does that happen?

We tested the new conversion, using product base currency, in multiple scenario, and it works consistently. However, there is a limitation in WooCommerce architecture that doesn’t allow the dynamically calculated prices to be used when determining the price of a variable product.

Technical details

The Currency Switcher converts all product prices dynamically in the appropriate currency as soon as they are loaded. The variation base prices, even if left empty, are populated on the fly. However, some parts of WooCommerce ignore these new prices and load the “raw” ones directly from the database, bypassing our currency conversion mechanism entirely.

Let’s take a variation configured with USD as the base currency, a base price of 100 USD and its “standard” base prices, in EUR, left empty. When the variation is loaded and EUR is the active currency, the Currency Switcher replaces the variation price with 86.65 EUR. This is the correct behaviour, and it works almost everywhere, except in some (unfortunately, critical) cases in which WooCommerce will just load the variation base prices directly from the database, thus loading “blank” and considering the variation “not priced“.

What’s the solution?

We are still working to fix the issue and we will release an update as soon as possible. In the meantime, a workaround is to ensure that variation prices in WooCommerce base currency are always populated. We are aware that this defeats the purpose of the product base currency feature, therefore we are giving this fix the highest priority.

WooCommerce 2.2 – Product Compatibility Status

WooCommerce 2.2 was released yesterday, followed shortly by updates to 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, and we started our testing process to ensure that our plugins are compatible with it. Despite the many changes introduced by the new version, we are happy to inform you that our products are now ready for use on WooCommerce 2.2.x.

Products compatible with WooCommerce 2.2.x

Currency Switcher

Our flagship product was the first in the list. The Currency Switcher, until version 3.4.17.140903, is almost entirely compatible with WooCommerce 2.2. The only bug we found was that the dashboard widget did not display the correct amount of sales. The issue has been fixed in 3.5.0.140911, already available.

Currency Switcher Add-ons

All Currency Switcher add-ons are not affected by the breaking changes in WooCommerce 2.2.x and should be fully compatible with it.

Tax Display by Country

The changes added to WooCommerce 2.2.x do not affect this plugin, which should work out of the box.

Payment Gateways

Blacklister

The plugin is compatible with WooCommerce 2.2.x.

 

We will keep testing our products to make sure that any issue which might still exist is fixed quickly and efficiently. Should you find any, please feel free to report it using our support portal: Aelia Support Portal. Thanks for your time and collaboration.

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – Updates

Prices by Country for WooCommerce is now available!

 

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been released

The Prices by Country for WooCommerce plugin is now available for purchase from our shop. By using it, you will be able to set a price for each product and for each region, thus charging different prices to different customers, depending on your needs. Add the Currency Switcher, to add support for multiple currencies, and your WooCommerce shop will be the most flexible you’ve ever had!

How to get the Prices by Country plugin

The pilot program, which is still running, keeps giving us great feedback that we will use to improve the product and extend its features and its compatibility with 3rd party plugins. Such program is now over, and the related discount is not officially available anymore. However, we will be happy to review further applications and approve them, depending on the type of site where the plugin will be used. Our target is to collect feedback from as many different configurations as we can, so that we can cover them. If you might be interested in applying for the pilot program, please contact us and we will send you further instructions.

Once again, we would like to thank all our other customers for the support they gave us. We could not have made it without you!

Prices by Country for WooCommerce plugin is ready to go!

 

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been released

We are happy to announce that the Prices by Country for WooCommerce plugin completed its testing phase, and it’s now going to be made available to the customers who opted in to our early access program. We will run this pilot program for a short while, to gather valuable feedback from the participants and ensure the quality and stability of our product.

Plugin features

The Prices by Country plugin introduces the possibility to specify multiple prices for each product, and to apply them depending on customers’ country. The features can be summarised as follows:

  • Support for regions. Countries are grouped into regions, so that it won’t be necessary to specify the same price for multiple countries.
  • Supports prices for each region. Each product can be priced independently, for each region. For example, our products makes it possible to set a price for Europe, one for North America and one for Asia.
  • Integration the Currency Switcher. The Prices by Country plugin is fully integrated with our Currency Switcher for WooCommerce. When both plugins are installed, it’s possible to specify one price for each region, in each of the enabled countries.

What are the requirements?

The requirements are the following:

How to get the Prices by Country plugin

Customers who signed up for the early access program will receive their discount coupon shortly, and they will be able to buy the plugin directly from our site. The product will become publicly available as soon as we will complete our pilot program. Our target is to release it by the 24th of November 2014.

We would like to thank to the customers who signed up for the early access pilot program. Thanks also to all our other customers, whose valuable feedback helps us constantly improving our products.

Prices by Country for WooCommerce hits RC1!

 

Our Prices by Country plugin is now in Release Candidate phase

Thanks to the experience earned with the development of our Currency Switcher for WooCommerce, we managed to implement support of prices by country for variable products. Variable products are some of the most complex to handle, and we had to run extensive tests to make sure that the product pricing logic is robust and consistent. It looks like we finally made it!

We had hoped to reach this beta stage last Saturday, but we got delayed after moving office. We also encountered some difficulties in making the plugin work both with and without the Currency Switcher, but we finally solved them.

What’s the progress?

The Prices by Country plugin reached version 1.1.0.141110-RC1. It currently supports simple products and variable products and it’s fully integrated with our Currency Switcher. For both product types is now possible to enter prices in multiple currencies, for multiple countries, and have the system pick the appropriate one seamlessly!

Preview screenshots

Here you can find the screenshots of the administration user interface for variable products. The space provided by WooCommerce UI is a bit limited, but we think we manage to create an intuitive interface anyway. Here you can see some screenshots of the user interface to configure multiple prices for variable products:

What’s next?

Our next milestone will be adding support for grouped and external products. These features will mark RC2 phase of the plugin, which will then become available to the early adopters who expressed interest in helping us improving it before its public release.

Can I get early access to the product?

If you wish to get early access to the Prices by Country plugin, please contact us. We will take note of your interest and offer you a substantial discount on the product when the first stable version will become available.

Thanks for reading, see you soon with more great news!

Prices by Country for WooCommerce hit v1.0.5.141101-beta

 

As we anticipated a few weeks ago, we are making good progress with the Prices by Country plugin. We had hoped to reach this beta stage last Saturday, but we got delayed after moving office. We also encountered some difficulties in making the plugin work both with and without the Currency Switcher, but we finally solved them.

What’s the progress?

The Prices by Country v1.0.5.141101-beta fully supports simple products and it’s fully integrated with our Currency Switcher. The plugin can be used by itself, to specify prices in a single currency for multiple countries, or together with the Currency Switcher, to specify prices in multiple currencies for multiple countries. Flexibility at its best!

Preview screenshots

The Administration interface did not change since last update. You can find the original screenshots below, for your convenience.

What’s next?

Our next milestone will be adding support for variable products. We hoped to have this done by the end of October, but our time travel skills are limited. We will focus our efforts to reach the next beta stage in November, adding full support for Variable Products. Yes, the Prices by Country plugin will fully support multi-currency prices for variations, too!

Can I get early access to the product?

If you wish to get early access to the Prices by Country plugin, please contact us. We will take note of your interest and offer you a substantial discount on the product when the first stable version will become available.

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – Status update

 

Two months ago today, we announced that we started working on a Prices by Country plugin for WooCommerce (yes, the name changed slightly, from “pricing” to “prices”). We had made a good progress, but we were delayed by the release of other products, such as the First Data/Authipay gateway, the Mijireh multi-currency gateway and the PayPal multi-account gateway. The early release of WooCommerce 2.2 also gave us some work to do, as we had to test all our products, to ensure compatibility with the latest version of the shopping cart.

We have now resumed working on the Prices by Country plugin, and we are happy to inform you that we already reached the first beta stage.

What’s in current beta of Prices by Country?

In its current version, the Prices by Country supports simple products and it’s fully integrated with our Currency Switcher. By using both plugins, it’s possible to set a product price in multiple currencies, and enter a separate set of prices for different country groups. What’s even better is that you can leave some prices empty for a country group, if you wish, and they will be automatically populated using the base prices. If you use multiple currencies, conversion will also be automatic. Full integration, full flexibility!

Preview screenshots

We modified the Administration interface since last update, and implemented a new, cleaner layout. You can see a few screenshots below.

What’s next?

Our next milestone will be adding support for variable products. Due to their flexibility, they require a different approach, as well as a different interface. We are currently experimenting different solutions to see which one would be the most efficient and user friendly. Of course, the Prices by Country plugin will fully support multi-currency prices for variations, too!

When is the plugin due to be released?

We plan to hit the second beta stage by the end of next week (ending on the 24/10/2014), but, with a bit of luck, we could be able to reach it ahead of schedule. We cannot make an official commitment at this stage, as we are still in the middle of development.

Can I get early access to the product?

If you wish to get early access to the Prices by Country plugin, please contact us. We will take note of your interest and offer you a substantial discount on the product when the first stable version will become available.

Thanks for reading, see you soon with more great news!

Prices by Country for WooCommerce updated to version 1.3.3.150108

 

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.3.3.150108. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved Administration user interface
    • Ensured that region names are always populated. Required fields can no longer be left empty.
    • Added logic to remove invalid regions (i.e. the ones without a name or a list of countries).
  • Improved fault tolerance. The plugin now handles the case in which the wc_aelia_cs_enabled_currencies filter returns an invalid list of enabled currencies. This should never occur, unless an old version of the Currency Switcher is running. Please refer to the latest Currency Switcher update for more details.

Prices by Country now allows regional sale restrictions!

 

Prices by Country can now restrict sales per region

We have released an update for our WooCommerce Prices By Country plugin (one week ahead of schedule), with the new selective availability feature. The plugin now allows you to make products unavailable for specific regions, while leaving them available for other regions.

Rather than writing a long explanation on how this feature works, we prepared some screenshots that can quickly illustrate it.

Products’ regional availability

Great feature! How can I get it?

The feature is already included in the latest version of the Prices by Country plugin. If you have already purchased it, simply download the updated plugin using the link you received with your order. If you don’t have the plugin yet, you can buy it now. Don’t forget to use our New Year discount coupon to get 15% off the price!

Prices by Country plugin will support selective availability

Selective availability for products is coming!

We are extending our Prices by Country plugin for WooCommerce so that it will allow to make products unavailable for specific region. This new feature will finally allow shop owners to make some products available only to specific countries, while still allowing customers to buy other ones.

A creative use of this feature would be the creation of split and mixed catalogues. For example, a shop could be configured as follows:

  • Product A, B, and C available to Europe.
  • Product X, Y and Z available to the US and Canada.
  • Product Common1, Common2 and Common3 available to all regions.

With such setup, visitors from Europe will see all Common products and products A, B and C, while visitors from the US and Canada would see all Common products and products X, Y and Z.

Another use of such feature would be restricting the sale of some products to customers within the European union, to avoid having to deal with the new EU VAT MOSS regulations. Simply configure a region containing all EU countries (except your own, if you live in the EU) and customers from the EU won’t be able to purchase the “unavailable” products. Of course, if you would rather become fully compliant, our free, premium WooCommerce EU VAT Assistant plugin can help!

Sneak peek

The selective availability feature is still in active development, but here are a few preview screenshots to give you an idea of how it will work:

I can’t wait to use the feature! What’s the progress?

The feature is now working correctly for simple products, and we will have to implement it for variable products. We hope to release it officially by the 15th of January. Of course, feedback and suggestions are always welcome! If you would like to drop us a line, please feel free to contact us.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – Tax Display compatibility fix

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.3.150730. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed widget conflict with Tax Display by Country plugin. The conflict was caused by the Prices by Country plugin using the same widget ID for the country selector widget. This is a minor fix, but we recommend installing the update if you use the Tax Display plugin, to be on the safe side.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – Improved performance

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.1.150622. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved performances. The Prices by Country plugin now uses cookies, rather than session variables, whenever possible. This change was made because we found out that, since WooCommerce 2.3, the handling of sessions is not optimal and can lead to performance issues. We also discovered that WooCommerce does not always clean up old sessions as it should, and that could cause a bloat of the database. By using cookies, the Prices by Country plugin will no longer be affected by those issues, and will perform consistently fast.

New WooCommerce Prices by Country feature – Hide products

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.0.150619. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • New “hide products” feature. The plugin now includes a global option to hide unavailable products completely, rather than showing a “product not available” message. This will make it super simple to have geographical catalogues, such as one for Europe, one for North America and one for Australia, while still allowing to keep some products common to all regions.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – WC 2.4 checkout bug fix

WooCommerce Prices by Country – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.8.150824. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed bug caused by WooCommerce 2.4 on the checkout page. The same bug that affected our Currency Switcher had an impact on our Prices by Country plugin as well. In this case, since WooCommerce 2.4 prevented our plugin from detecting the country change at checkout, the product prices were not updated as expected. This new version fixes the issue.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.7.150815. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed issue caused by the caching logic used to handle variations in WooCommerce 2.4.3. This is the same issue that affected variable products, and we noticed that impacted variable subscriptions as well. We applied the same fix, to make sure that variations are loaded correctly and processed by our plugin, without being affected by stale cached data.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – WC 2.4 fix (variations)

WooCommerce Prices by Country – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.5.150811. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Fixed issue caused by new Variable Products logic in WooCommerce 2.4.3. The issue that affected our Currency Switcher, which we fixed in version 3.7.8.150810, also impacted on our Prices by Country plugin. The fix is the same, and it ensures that variations are loaded correctly and processed by our plugin, as required.
  • Fixed bug in Edit Variations user interface in WooCommerce 2.4. The bug prevented the regions from collapsing and expanding when the product unavailability flag was clicked. The cause was the fact that, in WC 2.4, the rendering of the UI for variations is deferred using Ajax, while the original script provided by our plugin was fired  as soon as the page loaded. This caused our User Interface script to become unable to find the elements it was supposed to manipulate.

WooCommerce Prices by Country – WC 2.4 fix (price cache)

Prices by Country for WooCommerce – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.5.150811. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added new filter for variable product prices transient key. The filter is necessary to fix an issue caused by WooCommerce 2.4, which causes variable product prices not to be retrieved dynamically. The new filter ensures that the transient key used to cache product prices takes customer’s country into account, thus storing a copy of product prices for each region.

  • Improved compatibility with WooCommerce Currency Switcher. This version improves the logic used to determine the visibility of a product, making it more robust in a multi-currency environment. This improvement also fixes an edge condition in which some products were occasionally considered “not purchasable” when the Currency Switcher was enabled and the prices were displayed in base currency.

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.6.9.150914. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Added support for the new price caching logic added to WooCommerce 2.4.7. The new logic added in WC 2.4.7 to load variable product prices, which affected our Currency Switcher,  can also prevent our Prices by Country plugin from working correctly. We updated our plugin to fix the issue, and ensure that the correct region prices are used for variations. This update is fully backward compatible with previous WooCommerce version.

  • Improved Admin UI. The plugin settings page now displays the ID of each region. This information will be useful for customers who need to import pricing data(see Where are products’ regional prices stored and how can I import them?
  • Changed permission required to manage plugin settings to manage_woocommerce. This change was requested by multiple customers, and it allows to grant shop managers the possibility to configure the plugin, without necessarily make them full administrators.

  • Improved handling of variable products. Added logic to hide variations when they are not available. The new logic also ensures that the price range of variable products excludes unavailable variations.
  • Fixed bug in logic used to check if a product is purchasable function. The bug caused products to be considered “not purchasable” when the Currency Switcher was active and the prices were displayed in base currency.
  • Added extra check while processing variable products. The new checks handle the condition in which a variable product has invalid children associated to it (it’s an uncommon edge condition).

WooCommerce Prices by Country – What’s new

Prices by Country for WooCommerce has been updated to version 1.7.3.160730. This update brings the following improvements and fixes:

  • Improved compatibility with Bundles plugin. Fixed glitch in the Edit Product user interface, which was caused by a script included within the Bundles plugin. The script uses overly generic CSS selectors, which match the ones used you the UI elements introduced by the our plugin. The result was that product meta boxes were “mixed up” with other elements in the page.
    The issue must be fixed in the Bundles plugin itself, but we added a workaround that will allow our WooCommerce Prices by Country plugin to work correctly anyway.

A new product is coming – Prices by Country for WooCommerce

Our team is at it again. After releasing the Shipping Pricing for WooCommerce, which allows to specify shipping prices in multiple currencies, for multiple countries, we are now working on a new product.

Prices by Country for Woocommerce

This new plugin will allow you to charge difference prices to customers from different countries or geographic areas, and it will include full support the Currency Switcher. Using both, you will be able to charge different prices, depending on combinations of country and currency, with support for automatic geolocation resolution.

The plugin development just started today, but we already made good progress in laying the foundation of the plugin and in designing the user interface. Below you can find some “sneak peek” screenshots of the pages we have been working on so far:

We don’t have an estimate delivery date, but we should be able to release a Beta version of our product soon enough. See you soon with more great news!

WooCommerce 2.4.7 – Important changes in variable product prices

 

WooThemes just announced a change in the logic that WooCommerce uses to load the prices for variable products. The change, whose purpose is to fix possible issues related to the caching of incorrect product prices, can break compatibility with other plugin that rely on the existing logic. These changes are due to be added to of WooCommerce 2.4.7, which is due to be released on the 21st September 2015.

Which Aelia plugins are affected?

The change affects our Currency Switcher and our Prices by Country plugins. We are already at work to update our products and bring them up to speed with the new logic. We will release an update for both plugins in the next few days, so that you can install on your site before WooCommerce 2.4.7 becomes publicly available.

Important: you can install our updates as soon as they become available. As always, our plugins are fully backward compatible, and they will work with WooCommerce 2.4.6 and earlier.

Our other solutions, such as Shipping Pricing, Tax Display by Country and EU VAT Assistant will keep working correctly, they won’t need any modification.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us through our support portal, and we will be happy to assist you.

Regards,

The Aelia Team
