[Drex]

Hello,

I deleted the euro currency and created a new one for RON (Romanian Leu). This is the setup:


I tried to place orders both on paypal standard and sandbox mode and get this error:


This is the paypal setup:



Paypal payment worked before with Euro, so its a currency problem but... any idea what is it?

Hi, enable logging in Phoca Cart and see the logs produced by Paypal, there should be some information about the problems. There will be even form displayed which is used by PayPal.

Check if your PayPal can accept RON. Try to even check if PayPal does not support other format like "ROL"

But after some research looks like paypal doesnt accept payments in RON, at least i dont think so. I thought paypal just converts any payments to your wallet currency, but looks like its not the case, i guess i'll have to go with stripe or some other payment provider.

Hi, did you try to enable the RON currency for your account? Isn't it listed there? (in options of accepted currencies)

Doesnt look like it is, only those in the link above appear.

Hi, it really seems like the RON currency is not supported.

Do you know if there s any way i can bypass this issue?

Hi, really no idea, this is maybe much more a question on PayPal support.
