STORE CREDIT AND PAYPAL PROBLEM

Can anyone help me please if i have store credit and buy some items when i checkout through paypal it doesnt take into account the store credit ie 1 £4.99 £4.99
Sub-Total: £4.99
UK Shipping (Weight: 0.55kg): £2.50
Store Credit: £-7.49
Total: £0.00

it wont proceed through paypal as its saying there is nothing to pay, is there a fix for this

There is no bug. Paypal doesn't support 0.00 prices
Set the "Total" to 0.01 in the paypal configuration (1.5.1 or later)
And enable Free Checkout payment

Thanks for that that works but the second question is how do i get them to pay the shipping through paypal not free checkout

Well clearly if there is shipping, then it won't be 0.00 so free checkout won't appear.

what im trying to say is that there is store credit so someone buys something and all they have to pay is the shipping but i need them to pay buy paypal how can they pay through paypal ?

does anyone know how to get round this problem as opencart seems to be no good if you cant use it with store credit but the customer has to pay shipping through paypal

Store credit is store credit. Its the same as cash
if you have 10.00 store credit
and the product costs 5.00
and shipping costs 5.00
then the total is 0.00
That is just the law of store credit.

If you want people to get the product free but not shipping, then you will need to use a coupon code, as that offers the ability to apply only to the products and not shipping.

if the store credit is 20 they spend 16 but the shipping is 2.50 they need to pay for the shipping through paypal not from there store credit so how do i do that

What did I just say?
Store credit is same as cash
If they have 20 and the items are 16 and shipping is 2.50 then it uses 18.50 as store credit. I can see about adding an option to future versions to disable store credit on shipping but that isn't how it works for now.
