help mw to solve this error msg from PayPal

[otoor]

Hello,

 

I have 2 currencies in my store, one of them is Saudi Rial (SAR) and I should have it for our customers

 

And I`m using PayPal Website Payments Standard

 

when I tried using $ currency and chose to pay with paypal it worked fine.

 

but I have this problem when customers use SAR currency.

 

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.

 

So, how can I keep the SAR. but make the defult currency $ in background?!

you need the default store currency contribution, which allow to show the price in SAR and charge the clients in USD.

I think this may be the contribution that Alex is talking about :

 

Display Price in Default Currency

I am also just trying to get it implemented on my site with some tweaks in mind.

I think I may have found a quick fix-it for this. I am setting up a store that uses Malaysian Ringgit as the default currency but converts the amount to US Dollar if the buyer opts to pay by PayPal and reverts to the default currency if any other payment method is chosen. It requires some modifications to the paypal_standard.php file. This seems to work for 2.2 RC2.

 

Remember to make a backup of the original paypal_standard.php file just in case anything goes wrong.

 

Go to catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_standard.php and look for this line:

 

function process_button() {

A few lines below around Line 286, you should see this line:

 

'currency_code' => $currency,

Replace the line with:

 

'currency_code' => 'USD',

Next, look for this line:

 

// format prices without currency formatting

A few lines below around Line 636, you should see this line:

 

$currency_code = $currency;

Replace the line with:

 

$currency_code = 'USD';

That's basically it. Apart from the US Dollar, you can replace it with the short code of the other 17 PayPal supported currencies. At the time of posting, the supported currencies and their short codes in alphabetical order are:

AUD						   Australian Dollar

CHF						   Swiss Francs
CZK						   Czech Koruna
