using Paypal to pay in Au dollars, not USD was created by Michael Simpson
Hi,
I have a small problem that I'm trying to sort out. My online eshop is using Australian dollars only AU, and when I try to process a paypal transaction (test mode) the dollar amount in the shopping cart is showing in AU dollars, but when I get sent to Paypal is showing up as US dollars. IS there anyway to change this so the cart has AU dollars and paypal shows AU dollars?.
I'm using the paypal plugin that came with eshop.
Thanks

Problem found.
The "Auto Update currency" setting in configuration/local was set to no, this has to be YES.

Hello Martin,

You should also go to Extensions -> Plugins to enable EShop Currency plugin there too. This plugin will update the currencies exchange rate automaticlaly.
