How Super Speedy Ajax Prices differs from Currency Switcher for WooCommerce

All plugins from Super Speedy Plugins share a SQL-first architecture and an uncompromising focus on performance — and Super Speedy Ajax Prices is no different. Here is what sets it apart:

Super Speedy Ajax Prices lets you cache your WooCommerce product and shop pages fully — while still showing accurate, personalised prices to every visitor. It replaces price output with lightweight placeholders on the cached page, then batch-fetches correct real-time prices via a single AJAX request after load. Full page caching. Accurate prices. No compromise.

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce is focused on front-end currency conversion — showing existing prices in different currencies using a switcher. Super Speedy Ajax Prices serves a different function: delivering dynamically calculated prices via AJAX for role-based pricing, tiered discounts, and bulk pricing rules, updating product prices in real time without page reloads. They solve different pricing challenges.

How to choose between Currency Switcher for WooCommerce and Super Speedy Ajax Prices?

Currency Switcher for WooCommerce handles multi-currency display well, but if your pricing challenge is about dynamic calculations — role-based pricing, discount tiers, or bulk pricing rules that need to update live on the page — Super Speedy Ajax Prices solves that problem. Built on SQL-first architecture and tested against one-million-product catalogues, with a free trial available.

What's new in Super Speedy Ajax Prices?

1.3 (3rd June 2026)

Added WooCommerce Product Bundles and Composite Products support. When either of those plugins is active, the AJAX stock-refresh response now carries per-child / per-component availability for those product types — bundles include a `bundled_items` map (per child: in-stock, purchasable, optional, max stock) plus the bundle's overall stock roll-up, and composites include a `components` map (per component: title, optional flag, default option, and per-option in-stock/purchasable state). This lets fully-cached archive and product pages show accurate per-part availability. Each adapter self-registers only when its parent plugin is present (and is a harmless no-op otherwise), and the data is included only when the "Refresh stock via AJAX" option is enabled. Verified by new end-to-end tests for both product types.
Security hardening: the AJAX price/stock endpoint now only ever returns data for Published products. Draft, pending, private, and scheduled products are no longer turned into AJAX placeholders and are skipped by the handler, so unpublished prices and stock levels can no longer be enumerated by unauthenticated visitors. Admins previewing an unpublished product still see the correct price — it simply isn't refreshed via AJAX until the product is published.
Capped the number of products processed per AJAX request (default 200) to prevent a single request from forcing thousands of product loads. The cap is adjustable via the new `ssap_max_products_per_request` filter — see the Developer Reference KB article.
Hardened request handling so a malformed (non-array) product list can no longer trigger a PHP error; incoming IDs are now de-duplicated and zero-filtered before processing.
Added .kb troubleshooting and developer-reference guides.
