Hi all,

Currently I'm using stock virtuemart 2.0.22 paypal payment module. The thing is I can select only single currency which is huge limitation. I know that buyer can pay in his own currency and paypal will recalculate it to accepted currency, but it's not solution for me. I'm using USD, EUR and GBP in my store and now I have 3 paypal payment methods (for USD, EUR, GBP...). When customer switch e.g. to GBP, he should have option to pay with paypal from his GBP balance to our GBP balance. I'd like to have single paypal payment module with all accepted currences from virtuemart (USD, EUR, GBP). What is solution to achieve it? Does anyone know 3rd module which offer it already?

I will be greatfull for any sugestions,

Best Regards
Artur

The payment plugin at

http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=104184.0

will do that.
GBP payments will go to your GBP balance.
USD payments will go to your USD balance.
EUR payments will go to your EUR balance.

However it can not change the Virtuemart confirmation email currency.
The plugin can only set the the email confirmation currency to the one defined in the shop
or in the plugin setup.

The email currency symbol can be set to that of any country by the plugin, but this has no effect on the amounts
used in the email

As the email is generated by Virtuemart itself the plugin can not override it's behaviour.
Not sure if the currency restriction is a bug or it has been deliberately designed that way.

One possible solution is to turn the Virtuemart email off and rely on the PayPal email
which will show the correct currency.

Thank you for recommendation - I'll check it.

I already have overwritten stock functions - my virtuemart send mails and order history with customer (not vendor) currency. Hope it will work with that.

In the plugin setup look for the option

"Convert payments in other currencies to the shop currency"

and set this to off
