Symbols for currencies, such as ‘$’ and ‘£,’ are convenient but can sometimes confuse international customers. For example, many countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia, use the dollar (‘$’) sign to represent entirely different currencies. It is better to display currency codes instead of currency symbols to avoid confusion. With WebToffee’s WooCommerce PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, and Credit Notes plugin, store owners can easily replace currency symbols with currency codes in invoices and credit notes, displaying them alongside prices.
Display currency codes in WooCommerce invoices and credit notes
Below are the detailed steps to display currency codes:
- Navigate to Invoice/Packing > General Settings > Advanced from the WordPress dashboard.
- Under the Advanced tab, head to the Display currency code option and enable it.

- Click Update Settings to save the changes.
WooCommerce invoices and credit notes will now display currency codes instead of symbols beside prices.

Hi,
I’m currently using the free version but after the latest update the pdf invoices show the store currency and not the currency used in the order. This hasn’t happened before. Is there a fix for this.
Thanks
Rob

Hello Rob,
Thank you for reaching out!
Our plugin is designed to display the currency set in the WooCommerce currency settings. It pulls the currency directly from the WooCommerce order edit page and reflects it in the PDF invoices. Please ensure that no multi-currency plugins are in use on your site, as they might affect this functionality. If the issue persists, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team for further assistance.
