The plugin then converts this value in to the corresponding value using real-time exchange rates.
For example, I use this on my business site to display my hourly rates in my local currency, as well as in Bitcoin.
Includes a Tiny MCE plugin to assist content author in generating the shortcode.
Requires PHP 7.0+ due to scalar argument declarations.

Frequently asked questions.
Are values updated client-side?
At the moment no. All currency conversion is performed server-side. I’ll probably add a jQuery plugin and optional data attributes in a later version to enable that functionality.
