[SOLVED] Payment gateway only accepts one currency

[J3DI13]

Good Day

Joomla 2.5 & VM2.0.24 

The payment gateway my client is with (MyGate) only accepts the South African ZAR as the payment currency.

Now my client would like to display all the product prices in dollars by default but the final checkout must display in the ZAR currency. I am using the Onepage checkout plugin.
i am now using the native virtuemart onepage checkout, seems to work a little better with MyGate.

My currency configuration is:
Vendor currency - US Dollar
Product Price - South African ZAR

I have been told by MyGate that the price must be sent through in this format 2190.10 instead of 2,190.10 as which is happening now. (Please see attached error.jpg) 

Completely stuck with this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Friendly little bump

Check the 'Thousands Seperator' in Configuration > Currrencies > South African Rand /United States Dollar. The field should be left blank in your case.
If that doesn't work, I would assume that the problem is in the payment plugin.

Hi jjk

Thank you for the response, i have removed the thousand separator all together on both the Dollar and Rand but am still getting the same error. I have now decided  to look into the code
of the payment plugin but i am no expert when it comes to this. I did find a reference to the currency and added the USD to it but have no idea if i have done it correctly. please see below

Code Select Expand

/ *
$this->logInfo('Order #'.$details->order_number.' confirmed','message');

$mode = $method->test;
$merchant = $method->merchant;
$application = $method->application;
$reference = 'ORDER'.$details->order_number;
$amount = number_format($details->order_total,2);
$currency = 'ZAR';
$currency = 'USD';
$url = JROUTE::_(JURI::root ().'index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=pluginresponse&task=pluginresponsereceived&on='.$details->order_number.'&pm='.$details->virtuemart_paymentmethod_id.'&Itemid='.JRequest::getInt('Itemid'));

Many thanks again

I would ask the provider of the payment plugin if that is a correct solution. I'm no code expert either.

So i got hold of the developers and they said this and are looking into it now.

After adding it to the cart though and checking out, we did notice its amount was greater than 999, and for some reason a comma is being added to such amounts, much like 13,066.09.
