Accepting Indian currency

I want to accept payments from users in INR. 

 

Related to this topic: https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Merchant-services-Archive/Receive-money-in-INR-curreccy/td-p/201...

 

So, I've changed the settings accordingly, but I am still facing an issue. Here's what I did:

 

1) I added currency_code input hidden and parameter as "INR".

2) I added amount as 499. So it should read INR 499.

3) But Paypal takes it as USD 499.

 

How do I solve this issue? How do I automatically get Paypal to accept the payment in USD as USD 15 (approx).

You can choose what currencies to accept and how you would like to accept them. When a buyer sends a payment in a currency you hold, the money will automatically appear in your account in that currency.  The setting is in your Profile.

 

Login to your account.

Click on Profile.

Click on My Selling Tools.

Under Getting Paid and Managing My Risk.

Look for Block Payments

Click on Update.

Under Block Payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold.

Check NO

Save.

I did the exact same steps in sandbox. I got 499USD instead of 499INR. Will it work if I do this on the live paypal version?

You will have to test it.  Try a small amount.
