purpleKate Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi I've got paypal standard installed. My payment preferences are set to UKP. My default currency in DB is set to UKP. But when I try to made a payment from my site (in £'s), I get the following error message when transferring to PayPal: "This recipient does not accept payments denominated in USD. Please contact the seller and ask him to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency." can anyone point me in the right direction to correct this? I've checked the contributions, but can't find a fix. Cheers Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 The problem is with Pay Pal. They updated their systems around a week ago, and being a USA firm they only checked it was working for US Dollars. Transactions in other currencies are failing left, right and centre. They are aware of the problem and working on it - but as to when they resolve it, your guess is as good as mine. They messed up big time! Vger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I had the currency in oscommerce admin set to UKP not GBP, I also changed it in one of the paypal files. Paypal defaults to USD if doesn't understand the currency like in my case. Just check everywhere that you refer to currency and make sure it's the right format for paypal to understand eg GBP not UKP. kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satish Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Chek what gets posted to Paypal. The currency should not be "UKP" but "GBP" also make sure Your setting in Paypal profile accepts these. If You ahve problem call Paypal with Your account details in hand and they will assist if the bug is related to some configure setting or paypal profile setting.

bflan Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I found the answer to this problem. In my case USD was set as default currency. I removed USD from currencies because I only wished to use EUR but in the catalog/includes/languages/english.php file the default currency was still set to USD. This is the line to look for // 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'); I changed it to // if USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CURRENCY is true, use the following currency, instead of the applications default currency (used when changing language) define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'EUR'); That did it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Does anyone have any updates on this? Cheers, Owen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) OK I was being a twit and though I'd share just in case someone else did the same thing. I was trying to make the problem far more complicated than it actually was. :rolleyes: All that was wrong was that although I had GBP enabled, and all the shop prices were in GBP I hadn't set it to be the default currency. Localisation / currencies / (select currency) then Edit button / "make default" checkbox / update and hey presto, Paypal working! Cheers, Owen.
