How to Set Store Location and Currency in WooCommerce

May 13, 2015 By Nick J Leave a Comment

After installing WooCommerce you have to make sure that it will run based on your geographic specifications. You will need to set store location and currency in WooCommerce. Changing these settings is really quite simple. You can do this if you head over to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce settings under the general tab.

Setting Your Location

To set your location, head over to WooCommerce settings under the General Tab. Here you can set your store’s location.

Here’s what you should see:

Base Location

Under Base Location, you should state your base country and/or state. This setting also affects tax rates and customer locations.

Selling Location

Under Selling Locations is where you state where you sell your products. You can choose just one location or a few countries/states. If you ship your products globally you should specify “Sell to All Countries”. If you are only selling to specific location, choose “Sell to specific countries only” and a new field will come up which will let you add specific locations.

Default Customer Address

Under Default Customer Address, you can choose what the system will identify as the client’s location before he/she enters her location. Choosing “Shop base address” assumes that the client is located where your store is located. Choosing “No address” assumes no location. Choosing “Geolocate address” will verify the client’s location through Maxmind Geolite Database.

Setting Your Currency

Below the location setting, you can see your WooCommerce store’s currency options.

Currency

Under Currency, you can set your store’s default currency. You can only set one currency here.

Number of Decimals

This setting sets the number of decimal places shown on your prices. In most cases, 2 decimal places will do but if you should need more, you can always add more.
