Hi,

So we have set up a gift shop on a client website who are based in the UK. When a user goes through to buy a gift everything on the website is displayed in GBP but when they are transferred to Paypal (going to be the only payment option available) it changes to USD - I believe this is down to being directed to the US Paypal site. Is there a way to direct the user to the UK version of Paypal so that the fee when paying is in GBP?

I can't see an option in the settings to do this.

Thanks in advance

The PayPal site I see when buying on UK sites is https://www.paypal.com/uk/    Make sure that the Vendor currency under the VM Shop tab is set to British Pound and that on the PayPal plugin configuration the Payment Currency is set to the Default Vendor Currency or to Briish Pound.
