Currency Conversion Required

    I’m getting ‘Error: there was a problem connecting to payment gateway’ while using test mode on my live site – https://www.libertadtravel.com. I checked the Stripe logs and found the following:

    error:
    type: “invalid_request_error”
    message: “Invalid currency: usd. You can change your account to process transactions in usd by adding a bank account for this currency at https://dashboard.stripe.com/account. Your account currently supports these currencies: mxn.”
    param: “currency”

    Sounds pretty obvious…. My problem is that I can’t create a USD (or any other currency) account with Stripe yet. I use Woocommerce Currency Switcher to allow multiple currencies. But is there a way to force a conversion to MXN on checkout? Thanks.

    I made a quick change on this plugin github that might fix it. Check it out here (https://github.com/stezu/stripe-for-woocommerce/). There’s a link to a zip on the right side, delete the existing plugin, then upload the zip and let me know if it works better. I was grabbing an unfiltered order currency and it looks like that currency switcher needs the filtered version. If it works I can push it out with the next release.

    Stephen,
    Thanks. Did as you suggested but the currency is still being charged in USD. Even when I change the base currency to be MXN it still somehow goes through to stripe as USD and I receive the same error.

    Try disabling the currency switcher and leaving your base currency as mxn to see if it goes through as mxn.

    Yeah that works fine without the currency switcher. I guess I should have a chat to them about this issue?

    Actually currency switcher is just passing the currency on to the payment gateway (stripe) so it’d need to be made possible in this plugin correct?

    I’m not going to dissect the currency switcher plugin to determine how it works. I saw that they listen to a filter I was not using so I updated that code. If it doesn’t work then I don’t know why that is but it’s something that they should know. You should post this on their support forums to see what they say.
