FAQ

You can use the “wpcf7calculate” jQuery event to trigger currency conversion or other post-processing operations after a calculation. You can code your own Javascript function and place it somewhere on your website to call a third-party currency conversion API. Here is an example:

jQuery(function($) {       $('form').on('wpcf7calculate', function() {          var dollars = jQuery('input[name=total]').val();         var euro = currencyConvert(dollars, 'USD', 'EUR');         if (euro === false) {             alert('Currency conversion failed');         } else {             alert(dollars + ' dollars = ' + euro.toFixed(2) + ' euro');         }         return;     }); });  function currencyConvert(amount, from, to) {     var result = '';     var convertUrl = "https://free.currencyconverterapi.com/api/v3/convert?q=" + from + "_" + to + "&compact=ultra";     var rate = false;     jQuery.ajax({         url: convertUrl,         async: false,         type: "GET",         dataType: "json",         success: function (data) {             rate = data[from + "_" + to];         }     });     return rate ? parseFloat(amount) * parseFloat(rate) : false; }
