Hi there I can't get PayPal payment method to work with ZAR currency. I installed the basic version of hikashop business on my computer to try and solve the issue. The payment method shows but when I change my currency in configuration to ZAR the payment method disappears.
I don't have any zones or anything set as its the basic version(fresh install). Can any one help me and tell me if it works with ZAR as default currency?

Thanks

It's normal, PayPal does not support the ZAR currency. You would have to use another payment plateform like iVery to receive payments in ZAR.

How is that possible though? We have a PayPal account. Is it just with hikashop that it doesn't work? Can I add a custom payment method and use the HTML code from PayPal?

No, it's not with just HikaShop.

It's PayPal which does not accept ZAR:

Custom HTML won't make any difference.

Ok so basically all I have to do is have my online store in us dollar. That way I can have the PayPal payment option. If I have us dollar as default and ZAR as another display option will that work. Sorry to keep barking up the same tree here but I've got some big questions to answer tomorrow.
