How to Set Up a Currency Switcher Menu in WordPress

If you’re running a global WooCommerce store or want to offer your users a better browsing experience with multiple currency options, here’s a quick and effective way to add a currency switcher directly into your WordPress menu.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Currency Switcher Menu

1. Create a New Menu in WordPress

From your WordPress dashboard:

• Go to Appearance > Menus
• Click on “Create a new menu”
• Give it a name like Currency Switcher and click Create Menu

2. Add Your Default Currency as the Main Menu Item

• Click Custom Links
• In the URL field, type #
• In the Link Text (Label) field, enter your default currency, e.g., USD
• Click the arrow to expand the item, then in CSS Classes, type: currency-switcher

Note: If you don’t see the “CSS Classes” field, click on Screen Options (top right of the page) and check the box for “CSS Classes”.

3. Add Sub-Currencies as Submenu Items

• For each additional currency (like EUR, GBP, RMB), repeat the process:
  • Add a Custom Link with # as the URL
  • Set the label (e.g., EUR, GBP, RMB)
  • Leave the CSS Classes field blank
  • Drag these items under the main USD item to create a submenu structure

4. Assign the Menu to a Theme Location

• Scroll to Menu Settings
• Check any available display location — for example, Menu 6 or similar
• Click Save Menu

You should now have a structure like this:

5. Link the Menu to Your Header with Elementor

• Go to Global Sections (or your theme’s header builder)
• Edit your Navbar with Elementor
• Locate the widget or control where you can assign a WordPress menu
• Select your newly created Currency Switcher Menu

Your site now has a simple and customizable currency switcher inside the navigation menu. You can extend its functionality by integrating it with a currency switching plugin or connecting the submenu clicks with custom scripts or URLs for real switching behavior.

If you’re using a Themeasy theme like GOMAX, this setup is already supported and visually integrated. Just make sure you’re on the latest version and follow the steps above.
