To perform repricing select whether you want to reprice “By percentage” or by “Fixed amount” and enter the value by which you want to reprice your items on your WooCommerce store. Let’s say you want to increase “By Fixed Amount” by 10. This means that for all new sync, the costs of product price of Discogs will remain the same but the same product price will be increased by 10$ in your online retail store. If you want to decrease the price of the product in the store, then just add a minus sign before the value.

9. Currency Conversion

If you are looking to sell on your local currency to make your consumers be able to shop online effortlessly without being charged extra fees for currency conversion on their credit card statements but do not want to update the currency for all the products manually. DisConnect has got you covered, It gives you the option to convert your currency while syncing your products from your Discogs to your WooCommerce store.

Note: You would only be able to use this feature if you have two different currencies set up on your Discogs and WooCommerce store.

You can use the Currency conversion in two ways. One is automated and the other is manual.

Manual Conversion Type:

If you have selected the Manual currency conversion type, you will need to enter the currency conversion rate. The value you enter here will be multiplied by the price of the product and will be created on your Discogs. For example:

Discogs actual price = 30
Currency conversion rate = 75
In WooCommerce it will be = 30 X 75 = 2,250 is the currency value.

Automated Conversion Type:

If you opt for the Automated currency conversion type, it will automatically fetch the currencies you have set in your Discogs and in your WooCommerce store and will convert the real-time value and sync it to your WooCommerce. For example, if you are selling in USD in your Discogs but want to sell in GBP in your WooCommerce it will automatically fetch the currencies and convert in the real-time value.

Discogs actual price = $25
Currency value $1 = £0.72
In WooCommerce it will be = 25×0.72 = £18 (GBP)
