The widget automatically updates the list of provinces when the country changes.

WP Rocket now supports Aelia Currency Switcher for WooCommerce

/in , ,

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!

Remember to update your EU VAT rates!

/in ,

If you didn’t do it already, it’s time to update the VAT rates on your system. From the 1st of January 2016, Romania cut its standard VAT rate from 24% to 20%. This quite good news, as the change will make your products cheaper to your Romanian customers, therefore we would recommend to update your tax settings as soon as possible.

How to update the tax rates

Updating tax rates is a simple operation:

  1. Go to WordPress Admin > WooCommerce > Settings > Tax.
  2. Click on the tax rate you would like to update (e.g. “Standard“), at the top of the page.
  3. Change the rate in the row with the country code “RO” to “20”.
  4. Save the changes.

If you are using our popular EU VAT Assistant, you can also refresh all EU tax rates with a single click. Simply select the rate type at the bottom of the page and click on Update EU VAT Rates.

With our EU VAT Assistant you can update all VAT rates with a single click

All tax rates will be updated automatically to their most recent value. No risk to forgetting any of them behind!

Now all that’s left is double checking that all tax rates are correct. Our plugin updates the rates related to EU countries, therefore you will have to review the rates that refer to countries outside the European Union. If you don’t have any, then you’re done. WooCommerce will now use the new rates for orders placed from now on, and our plugin will collect the tax data automatically.

It couldn’t be easier! 🙂
