paypal payment error


Recommended Posts

My shop is set at gbp GREAT BRITISH POUNDS

somebody today paid in Euros which it calculated yet when they paid it came back as Payment Error, because the shop thought they had paid too much


for example

the product was £3.00 and they paid in €'s so the amount in € (euros) came to €3.66 (3 euro's 66 cents) which was the equivelent in payment for £.300 GBP but the shop took it as they had paid too much and called the €3.66 as £3.66

Any ideas why it would think that or if anyone else has had this problem is there a fix?

i hope somebody will answer this post as i see many many posts left idle and deserted

many thanks

on trying to adjust the currencies i came acrross an error 'Hack attempt (Currency -> sign = €)' when i tried to either delete or update the currencies and because i dont want me or my customers to get that paypal error again i decided to remove all other currencies from the list and just leave the £ because paypal will automatically convert them in their account.
I followed another thread in here and did the same as they did when they had a similar error and in my phpadmin i went to the database and went to ps_currencies and set the “deleted” field to 1 for the Euro and dollar so now hopefully it will only accept GBP and then i will not get that error again
on another note my default country was also set to france for some reason .

many thanks to Snol for having a look at my problem

Just to update anyone else who was having a similar problem, i can now say that my above precedure sorted out the problem and i now do not get a paypal error after a purchase

on a small note i do think the team support sucks here with countless plea's for help being ignored my presta team , yes i know its free and yes i know iam using the product , its just my opinion ok :)

Hi there,

You removed the dollar and euro currencies via phpadmin, you didnt need to remove the currencies in paypal as well ?
