I am testing the trial version of SmithCart DNN5 (localhost) 3.88.00 and when processing to PayPal standard, a paypal error message indicates the currency code is incorrect for Spain. I've created a Paypal Business account (standard payment) in http://www.paypal.es/es

I also noticed that is a Spanish euro currency and also general euro, I've tested both with same error results ...

PayPal error is (translated from spanish):

This recipient either does not accept payments denominated in ES or has specified an invalid currency code on his web site. Please contact the seller and ask him either to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency or to correct his web site to specify a valid currency code.

Thanks

Miguel

Currently for paypal standard the cart transfers to the following urls:


Test Mode
------------
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr

Live Mode
------------
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr


Will these urls work Paypal Business euro account in Paypal Spain or do you need to be transferred to http://www.paypal.es/es ?


The urls the cart uses right now work for many different countries around the world using paypal standard but im not familiar with the Business euro account in Paypal Spain.


These are the current currency codes that paypal standard supports:

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.
I'm not an expert in Paypal, even in .com or .es ...
What I need is that in Paypal the front-end screens for the user credit card payment, messages, info, etc... are in spanish.
I don't know if passing my Paypal user business account (merchant email) to paypal.com it redirects to paypal.es (in spanish). In fact it seems that it really occurs (or something similar) because the Paypal error message I obtain is in spanish.
When in the cart setup configuration I select "Spain Euros - €" or just "Euro - €" as store currency the error is the same. If we read the paypal error message it seems as the cart pass a wrong currency code to Paypal => code "ES" instead of "EUR" ¿? ... I don't know.
The paypal error message (translated from spanish) is:
"This recipient either does not accept payments denominated in ES or has specified an invalid currency code on his web site. Please contact the seller and ask him either to update his payment receiving preferences to accept this currency or to correct his web site to specify a valid currency code."
In fact, I've found a very similar thread from a canadian person:

Hi again,

I've created a paypal button from my spanish account (https://www.paypal.com/es/.....) and here you have the html code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="MBJYXEFVUHS4Q">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/es_ES/ES/i/btn..." border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal. La forma rápida y segura de pagar en Internet.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/es_ES/i/scr/pi..." width="1" height="1">
</form>

As you can see it seems that even in spanish paypal it goes to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr .com url... Then I suppose that Paypal recognizes language-culture via Merchant-ID, in fact the paypal username email account ...

Maybe this info can help you to solve the problem...

Miguel
