[SOLVED] Currency Not Supported in PayPal 3.5.8

[akashheimlich]

Many people have complained about not being able to make payments with PayPal when the default shop currency is not supported by PayPal. This often returns a currency not supported error. The only solution so far has been to switch the default currency to something that IS supported but requires changing of all prices in the shop.

This replacement file for PayPal module 3.5.8 solves the problem by adding a define called PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY which can be optionally set to the currency ID found in Localization > Currencies.

This will then enforce a conversion to the desired currency no matter which store is selected.

Just replace the file process.php in modules/payment/paypal/express_checkout/ and at the top of the file modify the PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY to whatever you wish to use.

This has been tested and works under Prestashop 1.5.4.1. I have not tested the payment with discounts, so if there are any changes to be made please let me know.

I hope this helps everyone who has been hunting for solutions. Enjoy!

It works! Thanks a million!

Can you be more specific? It works fine on my install, did you make sure to check the correct currency ID in the currencies page and paste it into the relevant place in the file?

[christian123]

this doesnt works

[akashheimlich]

christian123, did you read the comment above? You need to change the currency ID in the file before it works. Please post your error message here so we can figure it out.

[eddyrc7]

it works guys, confirmed use the same parameters and replace the php file in you ftp server.

[esalazar]

works perfect, thank you!!!!

[Ashkro]

gives me error 500...

[akashheimlich]

Most likely your permissions are wrong, please check the file permissions and disable write access - suPHP and other hardened PHP setups require this.

Hello,

 

what about the same fix for latest PayPal module.

BTW, It seems to me, root cause of problem with PayPal module is removing last step with order amout approval, like bankwire module, (or hook for it) from PayPal module.

In version 1.4 this automatic currency switching and converting happend on this step.

Any solutions for this problem?

 

I also have the same problem with Croatian kuna currency.

PayPal module 3.6 doesn't work with Akash's solution.

Does anybody have an old 3.5.8 version for downloading?

Hi guys,

 

I have a smart solution for you. Use latest PayPal for USA module.

 

1) Before installing it, go to preferences - contact - change country to USA.

2) Install the module and re-change a country to yours.

3) In restriction check all currencies.

 

I use 1 non supported currency and one supported. It works for both

It does not work for me.

Anyone have another idea.

I would hate to manually calculate the currency.

[eddyrc7]

Guys it does work, you are just doing something wrong when editing the php file, remember everytime you update the prestashop or the paypal module you have to replace the php file, ask the author of this topic for more help. (Ive tried 3 different "non supported currencies and they work"

The issue "Currency not supported" is still presented in the latest version 3.6.3 of the PayPal module - my shop's currency is Bulgarian lev.

 

I did the same changes in process.php as akashheimlich did and now the module works. Here is the corresponding file for 3.6.3:

The issue "Currency not supported" is still presented in the latest version 3.6.3 of the PayPal module - my shop's currency is Bulgarian lev.

 

I did the same changes in process.php as akashheimlich did and now the module works. Here is the corresponding file for 3.6.3:

 

This solution is good only in case you want to use only one currency for PayPal payments, i.e. this solution helps to convert any currency to the currency set by PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY when customer wants to use PayPal (tested with PayPal 3.6.4)

 

But I have a little bit different problem. I have these currencies enabled in my shop: USD, EUR, GBP and LTL. I want to be able to accept PayPal payments in USD, EUR and GBP, but because only LTL is not supported by PayPal, I want to convert only LTL to EUR. The default currency is EUR.

 

Please, any suggestions?

[itdes]

Hello,

 

I'm having the same currency problem... The version of PayPal is: 3.6.4 and the version of PrestaShop is 1.5.6.1... I'm using only one currency in the shop, but it is not supported on PayPal.

Have someone tested the solution for this problem in the latest version of PayPal?

Is there something specific that we should choose in order for the changed file process.php to fix the problem - like the option: "Need PayPal to process all your card payments ?" or "Need PayPal in addition to your existing card processor ?", or the option for "Offer your customers a 3-click checkout experience" should be "Yes" or it should be "No"...

 

If anyone has an idea, please?

 

[pduke7]

it works fine with paypal 3.6.4. and presta 1.5.6.2
 

process.php is in modules/paypal/express_checkout/

 

i replaced with the one from Eli Ivanova and it works fine.
my currency is euro. i really do not understand why paypal still have this bug

 

thank you!
 

[itdes]

Hello,

 

It is working now at my end too, PayPal: 3.6.4 and PrestaShop: 1.5.6.1 I used the file of Eli Ivanova as well. The problem at my end was caused by the fact that I had only one currency in PrestaShop and it wasn't supported by PayPal. So I added one of the supported currencies - EURO and in the process.php I entered the ID of the EURO currency, not the ID of my default (and not supported by PayPal) currency. Now everything is working fine.

 

Thanks.

Thanks MUCHAS GRACIAS!!

[FaheemSeedat]

Hi All

 

Sorry Newbie,

 

I cant seem to get the code to work, If i Understand correctly i should change the text to the default Currency set in my store:

 

Like: define("Rand",2);

class PaypalExpressCheckout extends Paypal

 

or should i have it as

 

define("Dollar",2);

class PaypalExpressCheckout extends Paypal

 

I am trying to get the south african Rand to work.

 

Prestashop: 1.5.6.2

Paypal Module: 3.6.5

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello Eli,

 

You have saved hours of mine fixing the bug in paypal module. Everything looks good until I found myself stuck at one final things. After it redirects back to prestashop, the amount stays in the converted price, while currency symbol is correct, in the return (order confirmation) page. For example, the order confirmation page shows

 

Total of the transaction (taxes incl.) : Rs. 6.19

 

The currency shown here is fine, while the amount figure is the Dollar converted figure, which Paypal used for the transaction. I should get back the original amount in Rs.

 

Thanks in advance.

[Eli Ivanova]

hello shaktishakya,

 

I know what you mean, but I couldn't find the solution for this. It is not straightforward, because the real amount is calculated and the currency is processed also. So, I decided to hide this line in this template. At that very moment, after completing the payment, this information is not so important, as the user has already received the email with the exact figures.

[shaktishakya]

Thanks for your quick reply. I managed to fix it by making adjustments in few files.

[Eli Ivanova]

could you share which files you have changed? Thanks.

[shaktishakya]

Made changes in the file    "controllers/front/submit.php"

 

I defined PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY before the class definition.

 

Then,

 

public function initContent()
{

       .....

 

       'price' => Tools::displayPrice($paypal_order['total_paid'], PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY),

       .....

 

       $order_currency = new Currency((int)$order->id_currency);
       $display_currency = new Currency(PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY);

 

       $price = $paypal_order['total_paid'];

 

       .....

       .....

      

       $this->context->smarty->assign(
            array(
                'is_guest' => (($this->context->customer->is_guest) || $this->context->customer->id == false),
                'order' => $paypal_order,
                'price' => Tools::displayPrice($price, PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY),

       ......

 

}

[Eli Ivanova]

hi shaktishakya,

 

thanks for sharing this!

[ktapet]

Hi,

 

there is no bug here!

Just update paypal module to the last version: 3.6.8.

 

I tested two different cases:

prestashop 1.5.2 and paypal 3.6.8

and

prestashop 1.6 and paypal 3.6.8

 

and works fine both.

 

I think the problem you have is because you don't set the correct currency restrictions on payment tab for paypal module.

 

All you have to do is to go in module>payment and be sure to check a currency that is accepted by paypal:

 

Example:

supose we have 2 curency:

dollar and lei(lei is not supported by paypal).

 

In PS 1.5.2 i have in currency restrictions section

for each currency (in my case dollar and lei) one checkbox for each payment module

and another 2 radio boxes : one for 'Customer currency' and one for 'Shop default currency'.

The only way is work is to check the dollar checkbox and the 'Customer currency' radio box on the paypal column.

 

 

For PS 1.6 is easier, we have on paypal column only radio boxes  and works with 'Customer currency' radio box(if is paypal supported) or dollar radio box checked.

I just found a much better fix (for my case at least) that canceled this one

 

I was forced to look for another fix cause after updating to 1.6 the above fix stopped working

Hello,

 

I have added the file and it works. However, I must say that the exchange rate used by PayPal is different from the exchange rate of the page, so the total amounts end up being different. 

 

My problem with this solution is that the Transaction Fee for using PayPal is not added!!

 

Anyone kind enough to help me? 

 

- Mariano

[nanos215]

Thanks for the advice El Patron. I have just solved my issue by only adding the few lines user akashheimlich added.

 

First, added line 36 before class:

 

define("PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY",1);

 

changed the currency id here to 1 instead of 7:

 

$this->currency = new Currency((int)$this->context->cart->id_currency=1);

 

and then added lines 120 through 123 to solve the currency decimals issues:

 

if (defined("PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY")) {

$paycurrency = new Currency(PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY);

$currency_decimals=$paycurrency->decimals;

}

 

 

I noticed that the exchange rate was different because of the  lines 312-316 akashheimlich added in private function setProductsList

 

$pc=floatval($product['price_wt']);

if (defined("PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY")) {

$pc=floatval($pc/$currency->conversion_rate*$paycurrency->conversion_rate);

$fields['L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT'.$index] = Tools::ps_round($pc, $paycurrency->decimals * _PS_PRICE_DISPLAY_PRECISION_);

} else

 

 

The reason why the transaction fee was not showing was because the user disabled its addition in the code and eliminated some lines which are by default in the original process.php file. Therefore, I just added the lines necessary to solve the conversion issue.

 

Does not PayPal charge you a fee for using their service? Cannot I transfer this fee to my customers?

 

Why then the PayPal module allows us to charge a transaction fee?

Is possible to fix this with latest version of paypal 3.8.1? If yes, how??

 

I can't find paypal force currency!!!

 

Solved

 

I made the following, I don't know if it's correct. But it is working.

 

find all lines with " $this->currency = new Currency((int)$this->context->cart->id_currency=1);  "

 

and change the id with your id currency.

 

It works on my shop

Edited November 26, 2014 by monkata (see edit history)

[Malinovski]

Simple fix:

$fields['PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE'] = strtoupper($currency->iso_code);

 

Check your currency code:

https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/currency_codes/

[weckie]

Don't if this is the correct thread....

 

But, we're having this problem with paypal at the moment.

 

PayPal response:

TIMESTAMP -> 2014-12-23T10:33:21Z
L_ERRORCODE0 -> 10004
L_SHORTMESSAGE0 -> Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details.
L_LONGMESSAGE0 -> Invalid character in parameter. Invalid characters include 0x0, 0x1, 0x3, 0x5, 0x7, 0x8, 0xb, 0x1a, 0x1b for example.
L_SEVERITYCODE0 -> Error

 

We don't have any clue what to do with it. But our customers can not pay with paypal now.

 

Does anyone have any idea?

 

Thanks in advance.

I did the same changes in process.php as akashheimlich did and now the module works. Here is the corresponding file for 3.6.3:

 

This is working fine, but you have to set your currency for paypal on the first line  : define("PAYPAL_FORCE_CURRENCY",n); where n is the currency id for the currency you want paypal to use / convert your foreign currency to. So in my case the n is 3, for EURO. The standard n that comes with the file process.php is 2, in my case the foreign currency id.

Now it is working great. Thanks Eli !

To fix this problem without disabling Google Analytics

You need to change in "paypal/express_checkout/process.php" this line :

$this->product_list = $this->context->cart->getProducts();

to this:

 

$this->product_list = $this->context->cart->getProducts(true);

Guys, Hello from me in Bulgaria.
Big thanks to Ktapet for opening my eyes. Also big thanks to Eli Ivanova and to for akashheimlich their original solutions at the begining of this topic.

 

However, after thinking about what ktapet said, it seems all these problems we all "had" are the result of bad configuring of our store.
What worked for me requires NO CODING abilities and needs ONLY your correct configuring of your MODULES / PAYMENT section. Bellow I will give you screenshots of what otherwise is this configuration:

1. Default shop currency is EUR

- Additionally I have USD and BGN (Bulgarian Lev) as installed currencies.

 

Then, what you need to make sure, in your MODULES / PAYMENT section, scroll down to CURRENCY RESTRICTIONS section and select the PAYPAL radiobox for "Shop default currency" 

 

 

What I've found this to do is to automatically convert the Unsupported Paypal currency into the Shop's default currency.

 

 

The result was great to see on my PS v 1.6.0.11

Here are two snaps of what I get from the above settings in practice:

and after order:

 

 

Hope this is helpful to others too and not only to me.

Hi guys.  Since this post was started more than 2 years ago, would anybody know if this solution still works with version 1.6.1.3 of Prestashop?  We would like Bulgarian Lev as our currency, but PayPal does not support this.  

 

I don't want to try and mess around with the files and code in case I break the whole shop, unless I know it would work.  Any idea?

Do you ONLY have BGN currency?

[themadcatlady]

Do you ONLY have BGN currency?

Yes, only BGN, nothing else. 

[vicbg]

Yes, only BGN, nothing else. 

PayPal cannot work with BGN.

For this reason, you cannot accept BGN in Paypal. 

Consider adding EUR as currency and try my tutorial above.

 

If you only target getting paid in BGN then maybe ePay is your option.

 

Let me know how you proceed.

However, the whole point is that we would like people to be charged in Bulgarian Lev at the end when they get to PayPal, but what I see from your screenshot is that it will convert into Euro anyway. That part I already knew, but I would like that bit in Bulgarian Lev too - but since PayPal does not support BGN, it will still default to Euro....

Hi, I replaced the module and use file process.php

Now my system converted "Bulgarian LV " to £ and I want to be "euro"
How can I do so that it converted to "euro"?
Thank's!

Can you do a screenshot of your BO:

#1. currency settings

#2. currency restrictions setting

 

Thanks.

I've used the latest available version of the Paypal module and updated it with forced currency conversion.

The attached file will take the currency under ID 1 in Admin > Localization > Currencies and it for conversion on Paypal.

 

Just replace the process-3.10.2-currency-conversion.php with process.php in modules/paypal/express_checkout and you should be good to go. If you want to use a different currency supported by Paypal then change the ID on line 38 from 1 to the desired currency ID.

The issue "Currency not supported" is still presented in the latest version 3.6.3 of the PayPal module - my shop's currency is Bulgarian lev.

 

I did the same changes in process.php as akashheimlich did and now the module works. Here is the corresponding file for 3.6.3:

You are life saver. Thanks!

The solution works with PayPal 3.10.2 and presta 1.6.5 with BGN currency.

The customer is confused and makes the order several times ..

 

 

Any new update to process.php?

If you follow the process it should work, I had the same issue.

Check if the id's of the currencies are set as supposed. If I remember 1 for USD/EURO and 2 for unsupported currency. This should be done from the Presta admin panel.

Hello,

Thanks for the answer I could not understand the answer well.

The currency not supported by paypal for me has id 2.

In which line should I add coin 2 to make it work. ?
