Before setting up the integration, make sure the following plugins are installed and activated:

FOX offers multiple ways to display the currency switcher on your site:
- Go to the FOX β Options tab.
- Enable the Side Currency Switcher option.
- Customize the style, position, and behavior of the switcher.
Once enabled, the switcher will appear on your siteβs frontend, allowing customers to toggle between available currencies easily.
Step 4: Verify the Integration
After configuration, visit your site and check:
- Tour and trip prices are displayed in the selected currency.
