    Default foreign currency orders not showing

    How come when a customer pays with foreign currency there order doesn't show in admin but with USD money it does? I use PayPal standard and the foreign payment even clears but no order history is saved to admin and no item description is added to the PayPal transaction like it does when someone pays with USD?

    Default Re: foreign currency orders not showing

    I'm guessing you're using the Website Payments Standard/IPN module and have your PayPal account set to not automatically accept non-USD payments without manual intervention. And since the payment isn't complete until you accept the transaction, your store isn't notified of the purchase and thus it is never shown in your admin.

    If you switch to Express Checkout instead then you will have your orders in your store without having to wait for PayPal to tell your store in the background. Much more reliable that way, and less prone to troubles based on your choice of using manual approvals of payments.
