The WooCommerce Currency Converter Widget eliminates the hassle of updating your prices regularly. Basically this widget displays a list of currencies on your Cart page, which your customers can choose dynamically. The widget syncs with the latest exchange rates on real time and converts the displayed price on the front-end.

You will be able to add multiple currencies in the widget settings and convert as many currencies as you want.

You just have to inform the customers of your converted rates. Actual transaction will happen with WooCommerce base currency but you can store the converted price also for your future reference.
