Australian Dollar support for paypal

[Onesimpleman]

You can activate AUD in standard and ipn modules by following this procedure.

 

Go to Admin/currencies and add a new currency australian dollars if it is not already there. AUD is the currency code.

 

Also go to Admin/modules/paypal_ipn or paypal(standard) which ever the case may be to accept selected currencies.

 

Now for Paypal IPN

 

Edit \catalog\includes\modules\payment\paypal_ipn.php file

 

from

if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD'))) {

$my_currency = 'USD';

to

if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD', 'AUD'))) {

$my_currency = 'USD';

 

For Paypal standard

Edit Edit \catalog\includes\modules\payment\paypal.php file

from

if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD'))) {

$my_currency = 'USD';

to

if (!in_array($my_currency, array('CAD', 'EUR', 'GBP', 'JPY', 'USD', 'AUD'))) {

$my_currency = 'USD';

 

 

This way customers choosing currency as australian dollar can pay in AUD using paypal. Mail me if you have any problems.

I'm just wondering what the significance of this line is:

 

$my_currency = 'USD';

 

If we are primarily selling and being paid in $AU, should $my_currency be changed to 'AUD'?

That line is for people who select any other currency than the 6 paypal currencies. Those who select others ( in my case South african Rand) should be billed in USD, may be USD is the standard all over the world and makes it easier for customers to convert, but if u do not sell outside auz then you can change it to AUD.

On the Devosc IPN COntribution you can also add AUD to the Currency selection list in the Admin and turn it on and off as you like ;)
