Issues with recent PayPal updates restricted to their 25 allowed currencies

[tivicrdotcom]

Hello fellow entrepreneurs, so my store is based in Costa Rica, never had an issue with PS 1.4 and PayPal until recently I upgraded to 1.6

I like my site to be in the native currency Colones (like before), people went through the checkout process in colones, on the last step (still displaying colones), customers will click on Pay and they were taken to PayPal where it did the conversion for them to pay in dollars.

Now I get an error, sure I could make dollars the default currency and solve this issue but then again some customers don't feel welcome shopping in dollars (even when they use PayPal, they can still pay for the amount in Colones and PayPal deducts from their cards in Colones if they wish, that's completely up to them two).

So I was thinking that maybe if the module was forced to update the currency (going from colones to dollars) on the last checkout step, this way the payment is presented to PayPal in the currency they like (dollars or one of the other 24 they support). Or does anybody knows another way around?
 

The issue is that I want my customers to shop in colones and pay via PayPal in any way they want, but when Prestashop sends the request to PayPal in colones, it simply returns an error.

 

cheers,
AJ
