Multiple tax rates and distribution zones

If you only need to set the tax rate and distribution for different regions, you can use the WooCommerce Core functionality completed.

Tax Rate Setting

Go to Backend: WooCommerce > Settings > Taxes > Tax Options
Set "Calculate tax based on" to "Customer delivery address".

Next go to WooCommerce > Settings > Taxes > Standard Tax Rates and enter the tax rate information for the country you wish to cover.

Corresponding tax rates will be applied based on this setting when customers from different countries check out.

Delivery Settings

The process of setting up a shipping region is similar. An example would be to set a fixed shipping rate of £10 for the UK and free shipping for the Netherlands.

The steps are as follows:

go into WooCommerce > Settings > Distribution > Distribution Area
Click on "Add Region"
Fill in the area name, region and delivery method
Fixed shipping costs for the UK and free shipping for the Netherlands.

Once setup is complete, customers in different regions will see different delivery options.

Setting up multiple currencies with the Currency Converter Widget

If you want the page to display multiplecurrencyThe Currency Converter Widget plugin can be used. This allows visitors to view prices in a familiar currency of their choice.

The plugin converts other currencies in real time according to the main currency. For example, if you set the main currency to GBP, and then enable EUR and USD, the price of the product will be entered in GBP only, and the other currencies will be converted automatically according to the exchange rate. However, you cannot change the converted price manually.

Once the plugin is enabled and configured, visitors will see currency switching options.

Note: Switching currencies is for price display only and does not affect the actual payment currency.
