[Escalated to WPML Developers team] Payment currency doesn't work

Hi there,

After the payment was processed did you receive the payment in EUR or THB in your bank account?

Based on the checkout process and the warning given payment should have been processed in EUR.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **

I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.

Thank you,
Bobby

We are still working on this and will update you the moment I have some feedback!

Hi there,

Our team has reviewed this issue, and based on their feedback, the general idea behind this feature is that most users set up their bank transfer payment gateways to match the target currency. For example:

EUR order => EUR bank account
USD order => USD bank account
We have prepared a workaround to help with this issue. Please add the following code to your theme's functions.php file:

function custom_woocommerce_order_get_total( $total, $order ) {
	remove_filter( 'woocommerce_order_get_total', 'custom_woocommerce_order_get_total', 10, 2 );
    global $woocommerce_wpml, $gateway;
    $gateway = $order->get_payment_method();
	$available_gateways = WC()->payment_gateways->get_available_payment_gateways();
	if ( isset( $available_gateways[ $gateway ] ) ) {
		$payment_gateway = $available_gateways[ $gateway ];
	}
    if ($gateway == 'bacs') {
	    $bacs     = new \WCML_Payment_Gateway_Bacs( $payment_gateway, $woocommerce_wpml );
	    $settings = $bacs->get_settings();
    }
    $currency = $order->get_order_currency();
	$exchange_rate = $woocommerce_wpml->settings["currency_options"][$currency];
    $in_default_currency = $total / $exchange_rate["rate"];
    if (isset($currency) && $currency != $settings[$currency]["currency"]) {
        //$ordertotal = $order->get_total('view');
	    $ajd_total = apply_filters('wcml_raw_price_amount', $in_default_currency, $settings[$currency]["currency"]);
      //  $order->set_total($ajd_total); //causes to update the order total - don't use
    }
	add_filter('woocommerce_order_get_currency', 'custom_order_currency', 10, 2);
//	add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_get_total', 'custom_woocommerce_order_get_total', 10, 2 );

    if ($ajd_total && $ajd_total != $total) {
	    return $ajd_total;
    } else {
        return $total;
    }
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_order_get_total', 'custom_woocommerce_order_get_total', 10, 2 );


function custom_order_currency($currency, $order) {
	remove_filter('woocommerce_order_get_currency', 'custom_order_currency', 10, 2);
	global $woocommerce_wpml, $gateway;
	$gateway = $order->get_payment_method();
	$available_gateways = WC()->payment_gateways->get_available_payment_gateways();
	if ( isset( $available_gateways[ $gateway ] ) ) {
		$payment_gateway = $available_gateways[ $gateway ];
	}
	if ($gateway == 'bacs') {
		$bacs     = new \WCML_Payment_Gateway_Bacs( $payment_gateway, $woocommerce_wpml );
		$settings = $bacs->get_settings();
	}
	if (isset($currency) && $currency != $settings[$currency]["currency"]) {
		$currency = $settings[$currency]["currency"];
	}

	return $currency;
}

Before proceeding, please note that this is a custom workaround, and you should ensure you have a working backup in place.

NOTE: Always have a recent and working backup before making any changes recommended by our team or a third party.

Hi there,

After discussing this with our team I was advised that this feature will for BACS will be altered in the coming versions and might possibly be removed due to the way the transfer to the bank works.

A reason behind this it's because

"The client will send a transfer in YY currency, even if the bank account is natively in XX currency. When the bank receives the payment it will automatically make the conversion to XX (the conversion fee will be charged to the seller generally)."

The workaround provided will partially fix the issue, but yes the order details will still display the default currency.

Also, for PayPal - I can see that there are no credentials for PayPal for the second currencies.

Which would probably cause a fallback to the original values in that case.

Hi there,

I was able to reproduce it.

The issue happens when you use the plugin WooCommerce PayPal Payments.

Our team is working on resolving a known issue with that plugin.
https://wpml.org/errata/woocommerce-paypal-payments-currency-code-is-not-currently-supported/

You can try to deactivate this plugin and use the PayPal Standard (a native feature of WooCommerce) and recheck this issue.

Thank you for updating me, we are reviewing this
