Hi,

 

I've just had my first shop sale!! The only niggle is that I've received the payyment as EUROs in the Admin and with PayPal, even though on my store the only currency available is Pounds(£). So why would the order be calculated and paid for in EUROs? Although this is my first Store sell, I've sold many things on eBay, using the same PayPal account to receive payments, so although I thought PayPal might of been the problem, I'm not sure now? Maybe theres something in the PayPal Module in osCommerce that needs changing?? Any help would be great.

 

Thanks, James

James,

 

Check your Currencies in that admin to see what your default currency is set to. It should be in your home currency.

Thanks for your reply Chris. I've just checked the Currencies section in the osCommerce Admin, and GBP (my home country) is set as Default. Do you have any other ideas as to what the problem is? As I said before, I get some many payments on PayPal through eBay, and never have I received a payment as a EURO, so it must be a setting within osCommerce.

I assume you mean GBP is set as your default currency.

 

1) Do you have Euros set up as a currency?

 

2) What value do you have set in all the files in

 

/includes/languages/xxxxxx.php

 

e.g. define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

 

3)What currency do you have set in the shop admin modules for your paypal payment method?

Thanks for your reply geoff,

 

1) yes i do have EURO as a currency in the Currencies section of the Admin, but GBP is the Default currency selected.

 

2) I'm not sure if this explains things or confuses things even more, but in includes/languages/english.php is 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', 'USD');

 

3) I can't se an option in the PayPal module section where i can choose currency.

 

I don't know if this has any relevence, but the PayPal module I installed was:

 

PayPal Website Payments Standard

 

I've noticed there is another PayPal module in the admin that can be installed:

 

PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK) Direct Payments

 

Is there a chance I haven't installed the right one, or shouldnt it matter?

 

Just another thing I have noticed.. when i logged nito PayPal to view the EURO transaction, it said the payment was uncleared. I've cleared it now, by pressing "accept", but I just thought i'd mention this incase its at all relevent.
