How can I display package/product pricing on my Webflow website with an option for visitors to change the displayed price into different currencies like Dollars, Euros, Pounds, and South African Rand (ZAR)?

TL;DR
  • Use a currency converter API to fetch live exchange rates.
  • Create a dropdown menu in Webflow for currency selection.
  • Use JavaScript to convert and update prices dynamically based on the selected currency.
  • Format prices correctly for each currency symbol.
  • Test functionality across different devices and browsers.

To display package/product pricing on your Webflow website with an option for visitors to switch between multiple currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR), follow these steps:

1. Use a Currency Converter API

  • Use a service like ExchangeRate-API, Fixer.io, or Open Exchange Rates to fetch live exchange rates.
  • These APIs allow converting base prices (e.g., USD) into multiple currencies dynamically.

2. Add a Dropdown for Currency Selection

  • In Webflow, create a custom dropdown menu with options for USD, EUR, GBP, and ZAR.
  • Set unique IDs or classes for each option to help with JavaScript event handling.

3. Use JavaScript to Convert Prices

  • Get the base price in USD (or another primary currency).
  • On selection from the dropdown, use JavaScript to fetch exchange rates from the chosen API.
  • Multiply the base price by the selected currency’s exchange rate.
  • Update the displayed price dynamically without reloading the page.

4. Display Prices in a User-Friendly Format

  • Update the price elements in Webflow using JavaScript and DOM manipulation.
  • Format prices correctly (e.g., $, , £, or R for ZAR).

5. Test Across Different Devices

  • Ensure the currency conversion updates correctly on desktop, tablet, and mobile views.
  • Test with different browsers to check compatibility.

Summary

Use a currency converter API, create a dropdown for currency selection, and use JavaScript to pull exchange rates and update prices dynamically. Ensure proper formatting and testing to provide a seamless user experience.
