Currency switching using the URL

About the Extension
In Shopware 5, it was easily possible to change the currency using a URL parameter like ?currency=USD. This useful and widely used feature is no longer available in Shopware 6.
Especially for international e-commerce, this is a major limitation. Companies running Google Ads, social media campaigns, comparison shopping ads or newsletters need to be able to link directly to a page using the correct currency from the very first visit.
Currently, the only way to control the currency is either by manual selection in the frontend or by creating separate sales channels with predefined currencies. This is impractical for marketing and limits flexibility.
There are no existing plugins that support currency switching via URL. Available solutions only handle this via the Rule Builder or after customer login – not immediately and not via direct links.
We therefore suggest the following: Shopware should support currency switching via a URL parameter such as ?currency=EUR, provided that the currency is available in the shop. This should work without requiring login and apply right from the first page view.
This feature would improve usability and provide greater flexibility for international campaigns – a clear benefit for merchants, agencies and users alike.
