Hawud Currency Converter Widget
The Hawud Currency converter widget is a good widget to add if you have an online shop on your wordpress website. This will help your international clients decide on their purchase as they will be able to check how much it would cost them on their local currency.
The widget utilizes jquery for loading up the results so your users will not be redirected to another page/ have their page reloaded. This is for the ease of using the widget while browsing your products.
Check on the sidebar of this page to view a live demo of the widget.

Developer’s Notes:
- This is my first version of the plugin/widget.
- I plan on extending the code to have a shortcode if in anycase you would want to show the converter form on the content area.
- You are very much welcome to suggest enhancements to the features of the widget.
