    Default PayPal currency conversion problem

    Hi,

    An Indian books store's base (default) currency is INR (Indian Rupee), PayPal is the payment gateway integrated here. When somebody checks out and reaches PayPal for the payments, a Rs. 50/- amount becomes US$ 50/-. It should be US$1.xx, as per the current US$ rate.

    I've used Dynamic currency converter for currency conversion, I'm not using the default currency mechanism of Zen-cart.

    Not able to figure out how to send the correct amount to PayPal.

    It can be checked here:

    Kindly help

    What happens if you *do* use the real Zen Cart currency functionality?

    Well, since I have no idea what your "Dynamic Currency Converter" is or where it came from, I can only suggest you go back to whoever wrote it and ask *them* for support.

    it comes from:
    dynamicconverter.com
    go to shopping carts and select zen-cart

    the installation instructions are simple and it is free.

    I'm checking it again, if I missed anything.

    Regards
