Now, let's find out how this add-on handles automatic currency conversion using USD ($) and INR (₹) as examples, with USD ($) currency being the default currency of the website.
Here are two example scenarios:
Earning 10 points for every $ spending and analyzing how earning works when switching to INR (₹).nding and analyzing how earning works when switching to INR (₹).
Redeeming 100 points for a $ and analyzing how redeeming works when switching to INR (₹).
Let’s get started,
Example 1: Earning 10 points for every $ spending and analyzing how earning works when switching to INR (₹)
The following example shows how to configure a Point for Purchase Campaign that offers customers with 10 points for each dollar spent, meaning they will earn 20 points for spending $2 and so on.
1. Creating a Campaign for earning 10 points for every $ spending:
Go to WordPress dashboard -> WPLoyalty -> Campaigns tab -> Click on “Create New Campaign” button.
Choose “Point for Purchase” Campaign as the Campaign type.

Here is the screenshot of the campaign configuration that follows,
If a customer spends $8 in store currency, they will earn 80 Points. Even if they switch to INR currency, they will still earn the same 80 Points. This is because the WPLoyalty Multi Currency add-on considers the store currency by default and automatically converts the INR product price to USD to provide Points in USD.

3. Screenshot of how the above Campaign/ Cart works, while customers switch to INR (₹) from USD ($):
Example 2: Redeeming 100 points for a $ and analyzing how redeeming works when switching to INR (₹)
The following example shows how to configure a Point Conversion Reward that lets customers redeem 100 points for a $ (redeem 200 points for $2 and so on..).
1. Creating a Reward for redeeming 100 points for a $:
Go to WordPress dashboard -> WPLoyalty -> Rewards tab -> Click on “Create New Reward” button.
Choose “Point Conversion” as the Reward type.
To learn the step by step process of how to create a Point Conversion Reward, click here.
When a customer redeems 100 points, they will get $1 off their purchase. But if they choose to use Indian Rupees (INR) instead, they will get a discount of ₹81.67 which is the same as $1 in USD. This happens because the WPLoyalty Multi Currency add-on automatically converts the currency and shows the discount value in the store's currency, based on its conversion rate. For example, $1 is equal to ₹81.67, but this conversion rate may change over time.
2. Screenshot of how the above Reward works, while customers redeeming (100 points for $1) in USD ($):
3. Screenshot of how the above Reward/ Cart works, while customers switch to INR (₹) from USD ($):
Settings available setting in multi currency addon:
To choose the setting, go to the WordPress backend -> WPLoyalty -> Add-ons -> choose WPLoyalty - Multi Currency -> click on “Open” button
Enable Currency conversion in WPLoyalty pages -> Yes/ No
The below screenshot shows the available setting in multi currency addon:
The primary objective of the setting is how currency gets displayed in My account -> Points & Rewards page for customers which includes currency symbol and Points/ Reward value.
To understand the above setting, let’s say my site's default currency is USD ($).
The default setting is "No," which means that even if customers switch to other currencies, Points/Rewards information will still be displayed based on the store currency, which is the default currency of the site ($). For example, if a customer redeems 100 Points for $1 and then switches to INR, their reward information will still be displayed as 100 Points for $1.
Here is the screenshot of My account -> Points & Rewards page while switching to INR (₹):
If "Yes" is selected, the currency conversion range displayed will be based on the site's default currency, even if customers switch to other currencies. So, for example, if a customer redeems 100 Points for $1 and then switches to INR, their reward information will still be displayed as 100 Points = ₹81.76, based on automatic currency conversion from the default currency of the site ($).
Here is the screenshot of My account -> Points & Rewards page while switching to INR (₹):
