How can I accept multiple currencies with my website payments standard button?

This is selling the same product but would need to accept payments from all around the world (or at least large countries).

Hi kek1956, 

Welcome to the Community Form 

You can send money, receive money, and withdraw money in multiple currencies.

• If you want to send money using your PayPal balance, you should first convert your balance into the currency your recipient prefers.
• When you receive money in another currency, you can accept the payment in that currency or convert it to a currency you prefer (conversion fees apply).
• When you withdraw money from your PayPal account, it’s automatically converted to the currency in your bank account.

You can manage multiple currencies in your PayPal account. Go to the Profile page and click 'My money'. Then click 'Currencies' beside 'PayPal balance'.

I hope this helps and is what you are looking for

hi Paula

thanks for this but I want to be able to have £ buttons and $ buttons on my site - that is the issue - can I do this? and what will the customer see when they click?

Hi kek1956, 

If you are using clear text buttons you should have an option in your saved button to add other currencies. This way your buyer will choose the currency they want to pay in. 

If you are using encrypted buttons you may need to add an additional button for other currencies. 

If you are still unsure or this is not working correctly for you may I suggest that you contact our merchant technical support team for further assistance. 

I hope you find this information useful

I have a similar but different issue to sort out in my mind. I recently converted a GBP balance to USD expecting to make a payement in USD for services purchased. Your system however took my payment from the GBP balance, and left the USD balance intact.

Was there something I should have done that I didn't do. And how does this aspect of managing transactions work.
