Explanation

Want to change how prices look in your WooCommerce store? This code helps you display the currency symbol before the amount, like $10.00 instead of 10.00$.

Here's what it does:

Custom Currency Format: The first function tweaks how prices are shown by putting the currency symbol in front of the amount. It uses WooCommerce's built-in functions to get the currency symbol and formats the price accordingly.
Currency Position: The second function sets the currency symbol to appear on the left side of the price. This is done by changing the currency position setting in WooCommerce.

With these changes, your store will consistently show prices with the currency symbol before the amount, making it clear and professional for your customers.

Code
<?php
// Function to change the currency format in WooCommerce
function wp_dudecom_custom_currency_format( $formatted_price, $price, $args ) {
    // Check if WooCommerce is active
    if ( class_exists( 'WooCommerce' ) ) {
        // Get the currency symbol
        $currency_symbol = get_woocommerce_currency_symbol();

        // Format the price with the currency symbol before the amount
        $formatted_price = sprintf( '%s %s', $currency_symbol, number_format( $price, 2 ) );
    }

    return $formatted_price;
}
add_filter( 'wc_price', 'wp_dudecom_custom_currency_format', 10, 3 );

// Function to change the currency position in WooCommerce settings
function wp_dudecom_change_currency_position( $currency_pos ) {
    // Set the currency position to 'left' to display the symbol before the amount
    return 'left';
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_currency_pos', 'wp_dudecom_change_currency_position' );
?>
