AnchorsBook is a HivePress-powered directory that connects users with service providers. The platform needed a seamless multi-currency checkout to expand internationally — without breaking HivePress commissions, earnings, or vendor payouts.
Result
Bookings rose 40% in the first 60 days, driven by international users who previously abandoned checkout over currency.
Homepage search for private boat rentals and yacht charters worldwide.
International traffic was growing, but conversion stayed low outside the primary USD market. Users in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia found it inconvenient to view and pay in a foreign currency, and checkouts were being abandoned. The client needed a fully functional multi-currency checkout that improved trust and global usability while preserving HivePress’s internal logic for commissions and payouts.
WooCommerce can support multi-currency through third-party plugins, but HivePress does not natively. Core features — earnings tracking, commission distribution, and vendor payouts — assume a single base currency. Introducing multi-currency without a custom layer would break those workflows or show inconsistent financial data.
We built a custom integration on WooCommerce and HivePress hooks so users could browse and pay in their preferred currency, while HivePress continued to calculate commissions, payouts, and earnings in a stable base currency (USD).
01
Integrated FOX – WooCommerce Currency Switcher so visitors could browse listings and complete checkout in their preferred currency.
02
Added custom order meta fields to store converted values in USD. HivePress commissions and earnings always read the base-currency figures, even when the customer paid in EUR, AED, or another currency.
03
At checkout, amounts were captured in both the shopper’s selected currency and USD. Converted values were calculated and stored automatically so financial records and vendor reports stayed accurate.
04
Customized HivePress to use the USD order data for commission percentages, vendor payouts, and earnings dashboards — so reporting stayed consistent with the existing workflows.
