Title: Payment via Paypal cannot be received -- solutions
Post by: wuhao20003 on January 17, 2011, 11:53:35 AM
Hello Guys

I think some people may facing the following situation.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The paypal method in virtuemart is configured correctly.
And you have been notified that the payment has been processed successfully after purchasing some items.
However, you found that your sandbox paypal account or your actual paypal account didn't receive any money.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

That's because your paypal account configuration doesn't match your store configuration.

For US people, the default configuration will work OK.

For me, because my paypal account is an Australia account.

what I did is to go to the "virtuemart administration - Store - Edit Store".
In "Currency Display Style" part, change "Currency" to "Australia Dollar", and change "List of Accepted currencies" to "Australia Dollar". Then the paypal works well.

In a word, you have to change the above two field to the corresponding paypal account type.

Hope this may offer some help!

Cheers
Hao
