Wrong Currency when using PayPal payment

Hi,

I have a very simple shop with only one currency (CHF - Swiss Francs) which is of course also the default currency.

I have configured the PayPal extension and this all works fine, except that the total amount to be payed via PayPal has the wrong currency (US $). It looks as if opencart took the amount in swiss francs, changed the currency without changing the amount and sent that information to PayPal.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using opencart v1.5.1.3 and the german language pack v1.5.1.1.74
I have deleted all currencies except CHF/swiss-francs, and the default currency in the settings is swiss francs.
The problem appears on the shop http://tazzine.ch (PayPal is deactivated now to prevent from wrong payments)

Thanks for any help

Cheers

Rolf

Well, obviously I'm the only one with that problem. If nowbody else has this problem it doesn't seem to be a bug.

The only way for me to fix this was a dirty hack in the payment extension pp_standard.php. I just set the default currency to 'CHF' if the $currency is not set or not found in the list of currencies.

Cheers

Have you added CHF as a currency in your PayPal settings?

I've got same problem. My default currency is AUD (Australian Dollar), and i use Paypal Standard. On last step, on Paypal is amount in USD. I've removed USD from currencies and my default (and only) currency is AUD. What to do?

Hey Interart -- can you show me your mod ?

but I fixed it another way .. by creating a new geozone to include just Australia

and selecting the geozone in the paypal module
