Payment Country with RC4

springdot · 07-11-2005

Hi guys

I notice that the payment amount when you are taken to PayPal is in US dollars - is there a way this can be changed to UK sterling??

This is with RC4 obviously!!

Cheers

for the moment there are no admin preferences for PayPal stuff other than the account, but you can edit and add PayPal parameters in templates/paypal.tpl

Just don't mess up with the Smarty code.

Hi dcb

Thanks for that - I suspected it was something to do with paypal.tpl

I have had a look on the paypal website at their help files, and can't find a list of options to send to them when opening the payment page - would you be able to post a link to something like that?

Failing that, would you be able to let me know what the option to take payment in GB pounds would be??

Would something like :

<input type="hidden" name="curency" value="GB">

do it??

Thanks
James

Also you can create from your PayPal account Buy Now buttons (without encryption) and see the code they generate.

I am wondering as well where on the code you add this....

I also see the $ sign in the code, its not just change it to a £?

It doesn't really matter whether it is $ if you are global directory as most people pay via $ and PayPal does not charge for conversion which it will do automatically. However I do see the point with regards to UK specific sites, it is quite offputting for UK Companies paying in $$ to advertise or link to a UK site. The $ factor might lead them to believe that the site is based out of the UK. Its all psychological I know but if I was a British Company I have a kind of allegance to my own people!

I'm sure eventually a mod will come out for this, I might pay for one myself but will only share with contributors for my view is if you are concerned about paypal then you must be thinking of and or making money so should pay at least something towards a facility that lets you do so better?

To change your payment to UK sterling or Great Britain Pounds,
insert this code

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

in between lines 12 & 13 in the paypal.tpl
so should look like this, once inserted.

Don't forget to change $ to £ in submit.tpl so people know they are paying pounds not dollars.

To replace the "$" symbol with "£" you must use the html code for the £ symbol which is
