[Resolved] Setting Which Currency to Receive Payments In

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to configure payments for UAE in EUR since AED is not supported by PayPal. Even for USD, PayPal is not allowing payments in EUR.
Solution:
First, navigate to WooCommerce->WooCommerce Multilingual->Multi Currencies and check the currency settings. Click on the "pencil" icon next to USD and ensure the payment gateway is disabled for currencies not supported by PayPal. If the issue persists, we recommend testing all currencies in a sandbox environment we've set up for you. You can log in using this link: Sandbox Environment. Add your PayPal account there, enable the payment gateway under WCML->Multicurrencies, and test with a product.
We have escalated this issue to our second-tier support and our development team for further investigation. A fix is planned for WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency 5.3.0. Meanwhile, you can check the official errata page for updates: WPML Errata.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please open a new support ticket. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, visit our support forum: WPML Support Forum.

Tell us what you are trying to do? I am trying to configure for UAE payments in EUR (AED is not a currency allowed by Paypal)

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=gui&utm_campaign=wcml#setting-which-currency-to-receive-payments-in

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Hello,

Go to WooCommerce->WooCommerce Multilingual->Multi Currencies and share a screenshot of the currency table with me.

Click on the "pencil" icon next to USD and check if the payment gateway is enabled. If it is you would want to disable it.

Make sure it is enabled only for the currencies not covered by PayPal.

Let me know your results, please.

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

Hi Vitor,

Thank you for the access details!

Please see my screen recording.

The AED will process in EUR and the USD will process in USD without the warning.

One issue that I do see at the moment is that I am not able to switch to EUR, USD and AED seem to work but not EUR.

Is this the issue you are experiencing or is this a new issue?

Hi Bobby,

thank you very much for your help.

I saw your video, but you didn't press the button - Paypal - to simulate the finalization of the payment, that's when the error occurs, when we actually proceed to the payment.

Regarding the other mistake you noticed, I had already noticed it too, but as this one is more important, I didn't want to mix things up.

Hi Vítor,

I was able to reproduce the behavior now.

In the checkout, I test all currencies this time and indeed I got the same error.

Please use the following link to log in to a sandbox I created for us.

Add your PayPal account -> Go to WCML->Multicurrencies and enable the payment gateway, then let me know your results with the test product.

This will allow us to verify if this is an issue with PayPal + WPML's feature or with a third party plugin possibly.

Hello Bobby,

thank you very much for your help.

I did everything as you asked and the same error still appears. In my humble opinion WPML is not passing the value in EUR to Paypal and that is why Paypal shows this error,

Can you review please? I left the credentials in the sandbox.

Attached you can analyze the error.

Always available to help.

Carefully,
Vitor
