When users pay through CC or paypal or whatever, what currency is used for the transaction by default? Is it the customer's country's currency, or their shipping destination currency? Thanks.

Re: Default currency for payment
THe currency used is usually the one they have selected in the cart during their shopping process. If you give them no option to select a currency, then it's the default currency for your site.

Re: Default currency for payment
OK...how does the payment process know whether they've chosen a currency? Is it based on the existence and value of $_SESSION['currency']?

Yes ... and $_SESSION['currency] is set to your default currency if the customer cannot or does not select any other
