I want to get the currency list with the currency exchange rate.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client needed to retrieve the currency list with the exchange rates for their site using WPML and was unsure which hook to use.
Solution:
We advised the client to access the currency list and exchange rates through the

_wcml_settings

option in WordPress, which is a serialized array containing WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML) settings. Specifically, the

currency_options

key within this array holds the necessary data. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to retrieve this information:

function get_wcml_currency_rates() {
    $wcml_settings = get_option( '_wcml_settings' );
 
    if ( ! isset( $wcml_settings['currency_options'] ) ) {
        return [];
    }
 
    $currency_options = $wcml_settings['currency_options'];
    $rates = [];
 
    foreach ( $currency_options as $currency_code => $currency_data ) {
        // WCML may store 'rate' as string or float
        $rate = isset( $currency_data['rate'] ) ? floatval( $currency_data['rate'] ) : 0;
 
        // Only include if rate is > 0
        if ( $rate > 0 ) {
            $rates[ $currency_code ] = $rate;
        }
    }
 
    return $rates;
}
//For testing
$rates = get_wcml_currency_rates();
echo '<pre>';
print_r($rates);
echo '</pre>
<p>';<br />
// Output might be: ['USD' => 1.08, 'GBP' => 0.86, 'AUD' => 1.64]<br />

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, What you're looking for is stored in the WordPress option called _wcml_settings. This is a serialized array that contains various WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML) settings, including a key named currency_options. The currency_options array holds all the configured currencies along with their exchange rates and related formatting settings. This worked on my test: function get_wcml_currency_rates() { $wcml_settings = get_option( '_wcml_settings' ); if ( ! isset( $wcml_settings['currency_options'] ) ) { return []; } $currency_options = $wcml_settings['currency_options']; $rates = []; foreach ( $currency_options as $currency_code => $currency_data ) { // WCML may store 'rate' as string or float $rate = isset( $currency_data['rate'] ) ? floatval( $currency_data['rate'] ) : 0; // Only include if rate is > 0 if ( $rate > 0 ) { $rates[ $currency_code ] = $rate; } } return $rates; } For testing: $rates = get_wcml_currency_rates(); echo '<pre>'; print_r($rates); echo '</pre>'; // Output might be: ['USD' => 1.08, 'GBP' => 0.86, 'AUD' => 1.64] Take kindly note, that our support is not obligated nor expected to provide custom code solutions. For this purpose, you usually should contact an independent contractor. Best regards Andreas
