CART changes Currencies

[koalaphil]

I have changed Paypal to the Australian site, Have sorted price from 0 but when you add item to cart goes to USD click on currencies goes back to AUD, continue to customer login changes to USD click on AUD OK log in go to Shipping method its all in USD !!! CAN'T change it anymore. How can i get the price to remain in the default currency to payment section, at Paypal its in USD but is completed in $AUD at the USD = ie $AU10.00 is $USD9.23 = This is what is paid as $AUD in Paypal.

Look in catalog\includes\languages\english.php and make

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'USD');

 

this

 

// if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language)

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'AUD');

I have a similar problem.

I want my customers to be able to select between USD and CDN currencies

 

I've changed the above code (to CDN) aswell as made that the default currency on the ADMIN CURRENCIES page. Yet still when processing through paypal the currency goes through as USD

Have you looked at the paypal.php code?

 

Part of it is

 

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

$my_currency = 'USD';

}

 

 

Translated into human speak, if the currency is not in the list then send USD to paypal?

 

Enjoy

Yes that was exactely the problem. I wish I'd come back sooner to see that you caught that.

I however, after searching ALOT!! lol found out by looking at the Admin "Countries" Page ISO Codes. gaff changed the previous code to say CAN

 

 

 

Now for some reason the problem I have is updating the displayed prices of items.

When a customer first goes to the website, no prices are shown, only $0. This is the same on product updates on the admin side, even though the item prices update just fine.

I found that they do refresh after changing the currencies in the "currencies" box by switching to CAN then back to USD.

Also, it seems even though the default is now set to CAN, the website starts off "defaults" to USD.

 

Can anyone help with that one?
