Next week, we’re updating our WPML pricing from USD ($) to Euro (€) for all new accounts and pay-as-you-go automatic translation subscriptions. As an existing client with an active account, this change has no impact on you and your USD pricing.

We want to assure you right from the start: if you’re an existing client with an active account, your renewals will remain the same in USD. The same goes for your active pay-as-you-go subscriptions. This is a change that’s designed to have zero impact on you.

Why the shift to Euro? As we continue to grow, a large proportion of our clients and our team are based in Europe. Transitioning to Euro pricing for new accounts will streamline our payment process, help stabilize costs, and minimize the effects of currency fluctuations.

We understand that a change like this can bring questions, so we’re dedicating this post to ensuring you’re fully informed about what this currency switch means for you. 

What this Currency Switch Means for Your Existing WPML Account

If you have a valid and active WPML account, this currency change does not affect you.

Based in Europe and Prefer to Pay in Euro?

Update: You can now switch your WPML renewals to Euro

If you’re an existing WPML user with an active account, you can change your WPML renewals to Euro from your WPML Account page. This is completely optional. If you choose to switch, only the currency changes – the amount stays the same. If you want to continue renewing WPML as usual in USD, you don’t have to do anything.

Learn how to switch your WPML renewals from USD to Euro.

Once we implement the currency change, you can switch your WPML subscription from USD to Euro.

This will not affect your account. Only your type of subscription and the billing agreement will change to adopt the new Euro pricing for renewals.

If you set up the new subscription before your current one expires, your account will be billed in Euro at the time of your next scheduled renewal.

The numerical values will remain the same; only the currency is changing.
