Follow these steps:

- Scroll down to the Currency options sections.
- Select the same currency that you have used for the WP Travel Engine.
- Click Save Changes.
Trip Checkout Demo #
After all the required configurations are completed on the site backend, when your customers book a trip and proceed to checkout, they will get directed to the WooCommerce Checkout page.
Customers then need to fill in the required booking details and use the available payment gateway to make the payment. Once the payment is complete, they will be directed to the WooCommerce Order Received page.
On the site backend, you (the admin) can view booking details via WP Travel Engine > Bookings and WooCommerce > Orders.
