Can Paypal automatically convert un-supported currency to a supported one?

[JeddahMustache]

Hello,

I have a website ( online store ) that sells products in the currency of - Saudi Riyal -

I also add a PayPal option to let customers use it to make payment.

The problem is Paypal refuses making payment because it doesn't support the currency which is Saudi Riyal.

When I change the currency in my store from Saudi Riyal to US $, everything works PERFECT.

So my question is, is there a solution I can make to let Paypal automatically convert the currency of the bill from un-supported curreny to a supported one?

[Whac-A-Mole]

you mean when someone pays you in unsupported currency,PAYPAL automtically converts it to a supported currency?

first ,by definition,Paypal does not support that currency,it cant do anything with it ,how about currency from MARS?

second,if it can,what accepted currency do you want it to convert to?

are you aware soon the conversion fee would be 3%

Yes, that's what I meant. 

For example, if a customer add a product to a cart, the price should display in Saudi Riyal. But when he click on PayPal button to make the payment, he should pay in U.S $ ( Auto convert ). Can I do that? and how?

I have no idea what is MARS !

Yes I have no problem with that 3%

If PayPal doesn't recognize your local currency, PayPal would have not idea how to convert. 

As for currency MARS it might be from some new place, maybe extraterrestrial.    Just speculating a little.

Let me make this clear if it makes difference.

The Primary Currency of my visa card that I linked with PayPal is Saudi Riyal.

When I buy an item from ebay as example, paypal asked me if I want to pay by U.S dollar or by Saudi Riyal (using Paypal convert rate) So the point is Paypal does have idea about converting my local currency (Saudi Riyal)

Does this make any diffrenece?

if PaYPAL  does not support that currency,it has no way to convert it.

So, it is supported.

Did you do the conversion?

If you mean by following these steps:

1. Go to www.paypal.com and log in to your account.
2. Click 'Profile' near the top of the page.
3. Click 'My money.'
4. Click 'Currencies' beside 'PayPal balance.'
5. Select the currency you want to add.
6. Click 'Add Currency.'

Then, The currency I want is not in the list. This is the problem 😞

Well, then you can't.

So, why the comment about credit card?  Didn't that work?
