Adding additional currency for paid subscriptions
 

Hi,

I need some help or pointers here. After digging through vb.com and vb.org on the above topic, I have modified the following files according to the information dug up :-

/includes/class_paid_subscriptions.php
/includes/functions_subscriptions.php
/includes/paymentapi/class_paypal.php
/admincp/subscriptions.php

I am able to create a new subscription with the appropriate currency code, and have it appear as an option in the UserCP Paid Subscriptions page, but when it comes to placing an order, the appropriate Paypal button (we only use Paypal) doesn't appear.

Up till now, we have been using US$ to charge for paid subscriptions, but want to change to the now-supported local currency to cut down on exchange costs as well as provide better clarity for our members (no need to convert back and forth).

I have gone through all files (including the payments.php file) to try and find out where/why the Paypal Order button is not showing up, and the only area where I am unable to change options is in the Payment API manager where it is still showing that Paypal only supports "usd,gbp,eur,aud,cad' as its currencies, and I suspect that there is some checking going on in here that prohibits the additional currency from being displayed during order time (but its weird that it doesn't give the "Invalid Currency" message", it just doesn't show the Paypal order button/options).

I would appreciate anyone's guidance or help in this - many thanks in advance.

Hello. Anyone with any information? Thanks!!

Did you ever manage to resolve this? I'd also like to add a local currency that is now supported by PayPal.

You'd need to change the field in the database, if I remember correctly.

Can you give more details on this? I am still unsure how to do this.

two years on, still can't find solution for this. :sigh

Me either :( I still want to add NZ currency.

The solution for this is as Dismounted said, just add the right names in the currency column at the paymentapi table .
