Title: order summary currency in USD not in base currency
Post by: gcleff on February 06, 2017, 01:35:11 AM
Hi i have set my base currency to PHP and config my payment to papal standard all my products is in php after the checkout my order summary comes back to USD for example i bought 3800 PHP then i checkout paypal page appears with "your order summary" and the details instead of PHP 3800 it became USD 3800. is there a way it can be replaced with PH.

MY currency is supported in paypal which is PHP Philippine Pesos.

i know theres an extension for usd conversion named paypal_usd but i want it straight as PHP as paypal accepts my currency.

Hello.
What is your AbanteCart version?
"Order summary" did you mean summary on PayPal side or AbanteCart?

Yes order summary in paypal
can you correct me if this can affect the payment on paypal.

what i did is dig into the code change the code in config of extension
from name="currency_code" value="?php echo $currency_code; ?"
to value="PHP" <-- i hard coded my prefered currency code

then i test it and to no avail it worked
$ 3800 USD has been change to P 3800 PHP

do you think is this ok?

To make sure you fix is work process order and see what is your currency in the completed transaction

We will check from our side too

in final transaction and in the order summary of paypal my preferred currency successfully appeared which is P 3800 PHP.

I guess it will not affect anything because i only made changes inside a specific extension and paypal also supports my currency.

thank you for your prompt reply. it really is tedious if you want to really customize abantecart though i can say abantecart is better than its competitors. :)

Hello.

We check PayPal std with default settings in AbanteCart 1.2.9 and did not found any issues with PHP currency. Did you set up it correctly?
