This extension supports showing product price as well as order amount in the currency format configured by admin at frontend. Currency Formatter extension is totally compatible with Mageplaza One Step Checkout.

Note: Mageplaza Currency Formatter Extension can be used with multiple stores.

  • Stores are set the default as the Default Configuration.
  • To change the configuration for each store, you need to remove the tick at Use Website on the right of each option.
  • A configuration of the extension in each store will be applied to the store itself.
