Hi everyone, I have selected euro as currency in Payment Settings – Paypal Settings, but when the customer is transfered to Paypal it uses USD. Any ideas? Regards, | |
Hi, Please go to the Event Espresso Payment Settings and check that the PayPal option “Select the Currency for Your Country ” is set to Euro. | |
Come on Dean! I specifically wrote that I have set it to Euro. It actually reads “EUR”. Tnx | |
Hi Yannis, It was obviously early when I responded, sorry about that. Checking your site versus a test install, it looks like you have changed the EUR currency code to €, is that correct? It appears that the gateway code has either been changed or is picking up on the symbol change and is sending the € symbol to PayPal as part of the data that is transferred over to them. However PayPal need that information () to be EUR not €, which is why it is not recognising it and reverting to PayPals default of USD. | |
NP Dean, This was the behaviour before the change from EUR to €. Then I followed Josh’s advice. Is this invalid? What should I do? Regards, | |
In event-espresso\gateways\paypal\settings.php the line for euro is:
So, this seems to be correct. Paypal still defaults to USD. | |
Hey, I just tried to test it again and now it works. I will get back to you if something changes. I really cannot understand what’s going on. Regards, | |
