Conversion not working with currency switcher

  • Our store is in South Africa.. Our Store’s Base Currency is South African Rand. Paypal doesn’t have South African Rand for us to select as default currency, so we have USD selected…

    We are using a currency switcher to display different currencies for the customer. For eg. an item that is ZAR 148.80 , it will display as USD 10.

    Now proceeding to the checkout. The total is USD 10. Then when proceeding to paypal, it shows the total to be paid as USD 0,67. It is converting the “displayed” cart total instead of the total in our base currency converted (ZAR 148.80 divided by current exchange rate 14.88 = USD 10).

    Is there a way that when a customer proceeds to PayPal it sends the cart total in our base currency (South African Rand) instead of what is displayed by the currency convertor (US $).

    Currency switcher and PaypAl Currency Converter do not play well together.
    To be honest your aproach does not sound right to me.
    In a regular setup you have a single shop currency (which may be not supported by PaypAl or is not your PayPal accounts currency). Then you will use this plugin to convert it accordingly. If your shopping cart total is already in a currency that is allowed by PayPal then there is no need for it to be converted. But you may expect conversion fees taken by Payal if the paid currency does not match the accounts currency.
