 * Hello,
 * We are setting up a multicurrency site and we want to know what changes we have
   to make in order to achieve that. What changes do we have to make in our customers
   business account?
 * We also have setted the site to use a currency switcher and the prices are updated
   to the other currencies automatically via the current exchange rates. What I 
   want to know is that if our customers business account is setted up to accept
   euros for a base currency will it receive payments in dollars or will it convert
   dollars to euros? What I want is when a users pays with dollars to receive the
   payment in dollars and not in euros.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@giannisdigitup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/giannisdigitup/),
 * Thank you for your inquiry.
 * This question is best addressed by the support team of the multicurrency plugin
   you’re using, as they can provide precise guidance based on its specific functionality.
   However, I can share some general insights on how multicurrency setups typically
   work with the PayPal Payments plugin.
 * Most WooCommerce multicurrency plugins are designed to pass the buyer’s selected
   currency directly to the payment gateway. For instance, if a buyer selects USD
   and proceeds with payment via PayPal, the transaction should be sent to PayPal
   in USD.
 * To ensure that payments are received in the buyer’s selected currency (e.g., 
   USD) without conversion to your base currency (e.g., EUR), the following conditions
   must be met:
    1. **The Multicurrency Plugin Configuration**
       The plugin must be set up to pass
       the order’s currency directly to PayPal without converting it to the base currency.
    2. **PayPal Business Account Settings**
       The PayPal Business Account must be configured
       to accept all currencies enabled on your site. You can do this by navigating
       to the “Manage Currencies” section in PayPal and adding USD (or any other relevant
       currency) as a supported currency. If the account is set to accept only EUR,
       PayPal might automatically convert other currencies to EUR using its own exchange
       rates.
 * To validate your setup, I recommend using PayPal’s [sandbox](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#testing-in-sandbox)
   to simulate transactions in various currencies. This allows you to confirm how
   payments are received. For instance:
    - If a buyer pays in USD, the PayPal account should receive USD, provided the
      currency is supported.
    - Payments in unsupported currencies may either be simply declined.
 * In my experience with plugins like CURCY or others, payments are processed in
   the buyer’s selected currency as long as the configuration and PayPal settings
   align. For example, if the buyer selects USD, the amount will reflect in USD 
   in the PayPal account.
 * Should you have further questions or require additional assistance, please don’t
   hesitate to reach out.
 * Kind regards,
   Krystian
