Hi,
Thanks for the idea – will add it in next update.
Best regards,
Tom
P.S. Regarding “…how this can be done even with PHP…” – I didn’t have time to test it, but hopefully this should work:
echo alg_get_product_price_by_currency( 1.99, alg_get_current_currency_code() );
Please let me know if it’s working.
Best regards,
Tom
Hi again,
We’ve just released v2.4.1, where we’ve added [woocommerce_currency_switcher_convert_price] shortcode.
This can be used in two ways:
1. Calculate price in current (i.e. chosen by user) currency:
[woocommerce_currency_switcher_convert_price price="1.99"]
2. Calculate price in selected currency:
[woocommerce_currency_switcher_convert_price price="1.99" currency="AUD"]
Or if you wish to use PHP:
echo alg_convert_price( array( 'price' => 1.99 ) );
or
echo alg_convert_price( array( 'price' => 1.99, 'currency' => 'AUD' ) );
Please let me know if it’s working correctly.
Best regards,
Tom
Oh my gosh, that’s awesome!!! I just checked back here hoping maybe you’d added this now, and you have. Excellent! I’ll try it out ASAP and let you know the result.
Ok, tested it out. Like a few other plugins I’ve seen, it tries to be helpful by outputting a nice HTML output instead of just a raw number, which is probably suitable for most users, but I’m looking for raw output.
So currently when I do this:
echo alg_convert_price( array( ‘price’ => 1.99 ) );
Instead of outputting just 1.99 (or whatever), it outputs:
<span class=”woocommerce-Price-amount amount”><span class=”woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol”>$</span>1.99</span>
Which causes problems when I’m feeding the output into other functions.
If you could maybe add a version of the same which just outputs the raw converted value that would be perfect! For now I’ll just have to butcher the code a little to get what I want, but an official function would be better hehe 🙂

Update for anyone else looking for similar raw unformatted value…
This file: alg-switcher-functions.php
Replace: “return wc_price( alg_get_product_price_by_currency( $atts[‘price’], $atts[‘currency’] ), array( ‘currency’ => $atts[‘currency’] ) );”
with: “return alg_get_product_price_by_currency_global( $atts[‘price’], $atts[‘currency’] );”
Took me a while to understand why there was no mention of classes/css in your code… then I realised what wc_price was. Clever.
LOVE this plugin. It’s easily the best currency plugin for Woocommerce – I’ve tried them all, some much more expensive and nowhere near as good. The code is very clean, some very smart and useful automated features, but still a very light and fast package. You’ve done a great job with this.
Hi @ozzymuppet,
Thanks for the feedback. No problem – I will add raw price in next plugin update (either as new function, or maybe I’ll add new parameter to existing alg_convert_price() function, so you can choose if you want it raw or with tags). Shouldn’t take too long.
By the way – you can remove all tags at once with PHP’s strip_tags() function (http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php), which will leave only the price and currency symbol, something like:
echo strip_tags( alg_convert_price( array( 'price' => 1.99 ) ) );
Then you can remove the currency symbol (and maybe space) and you got a raw number.
P.S. If you like the plugin, please leave us a rating.
Best regards,
Tom
Rating added 🙂
strip_tags() ! That will come in very handy, thanks man.
Hi,
We’ve just released new v2.5.0. As promised, we’ve added format_price attribute (defaults to yes) to the shortcode and function, so now you can use it something like this:
[woocommerce_currency_switcher_convert_price price="1.99" format_price="no"]
echo alg_convert_price( array( 'price' => 1.99, 'format_price' => 'no' ) );
Best regards,
Tom
Perfect – thank you. I’ll upgrade as soon as it comes through.
