Conversion into unsupported currency for Website Payments Standard

Hi,

 

About 2 years ago we fully converted our payment process to just use PayPal, as PCI requirements were just a pain. 

 

Recently the online business I work for has clients in Kenya that want to buy our products. I noticed that PayPal does not support KES/KSh (Kenyan currency) so to get around this I was thinking of performing a currency conversion on our end, and then sending the shopping cart command with the converted value in GBP.

 

A couple of questions about this:

 

1. Would the clients in Kenya be able to pay in GBP

2. Would the clients in Kenya have to pay the conversion fee for KSh -> GBP, or would it be the Merchant (us)

 

Many thanks,

 

Rhodri
