10605 error - Receiving country does not support the transaction currencY

[Aiden14]

Hi Guys I’m fairly new to using PayPal for my business. I activated woocommerce and PayPal payments as a separate plugin. I linked my PayPal account. However, I am testing that my online payment methods work, but PayPal option says “10605 error - Receiving country does not support the transaction currency”. My base currency is ZAR. I have been searching and I still don’t have an answer or clue as how to fix this. I read something about currency converter plug-in and linking my PayPal to fnb. After searching for hours, can someone please help me with this issue.

Just to include, I also watched some videos regarding coding that I should include. Because I am new to this platform, I don’t want to assume and just do something that could potentially be wrong and affect my business

Hello,

"Receiving country does not support the transaction currency"

"ZAR" is not a supported PayPal currency code.

You need to use one of the supported PayPal currency codes listed here :

Thanks !
