That's correct. Make sure that the "send order details" of the paypal plugin is turned on and try again, it should work.

Hi,
It still have problem for the decimal place.
(set TAX is disable)

May be the problem is during input the Unit Price then the TAX will AUTO filling in.
For example:
1. when input unit price: 1.90 then the TAX will auto input as 1.899999999~
2. when input unit price: 1.01 then the TAX will auto input as 1.010000000~

3. when input unit price: 1.00 then the TAX will auto input as 1
4. when input unit price: 1 then the TAX will auto input as 1

There for if without any decimal can work correctly.

Please advise.
Thanks!
Jade

The input is not a problem.

Let's do it differently then. Everywhere you have:
(int)$currency->currency_locale

in the plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal.php file, please replace that piece by:
2

That way, we'll be sure that all the prices sent to paypal are rounded properly.

Morning!

RE: modify the paypal.php file

To avoid my mistake, please advise is the step as following??

Step 1) add the line:
$currency->currency_locale = 2;

after the lines:
$currency=$currencies[$order->order_currency_id];

Step 2) instead of :
$vars["amount_".$i]=round($product->order_product_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale);

change it to:

$vars["amount_".$i]=round($product->order_product_price,2);

in that file.

Step 3)Make sure that the "send order details" of the paypal plugin is turned on

Step 4)
Let's do it differently then. Everywhere you have:
(int)$currency->currency_locale

in the plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal.php file, please replace that piece by:
2

Hi Nicolas,

RE : Step 4)
Let's do it differently then. Everywhere you have:
(int)$currency->currency_locale

in the plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal.php file, please replace that piece by:
2

Did you mean like this?

$vars["amount_1"]=round($order->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax,(int)$currency->currency_locale);

change it to:
$vars["amount_1"]=round($order->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax,(int)$currency->currency_locale=2);

=============================================================================================================

$tax+=round($product->order_product_tax,(int)$currency->currency_locale)*$product->order_product_quantity;
$i++;

change it to:
$tax+=round($product->order_product_tax,(int)$currency->currency_locale=2)*$product->order_product_quantity;
$i++;

=============================================================================================================

$vars["amount_".$i]=round($order->order_shipping_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale);

change it to:
$vars["amount_".$i]=round($order->order_shipping_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale=2);

===============================================================================================================

$vars["discount_amount_cart"]=round($order->order_discount_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale);

change it to:
$vars["discount_amount_cart"]=round($order->order_discount_price,(int)$currency->currency_locale=2);

================================================================================================================

$price_check = round($dbOrder->order_full_price, (int)$currency->currency_locale );

change it to:

$price_check = round($dbOrder->order_full_price, (int)$currency->currency_locale=2 );

================================================================================================================

Total 4 of above right?

Thanks!
Jade

Almost but yes.

I said to replace one by the other, not to have both.

So, for example:
$vars["amount_1"]=round($order->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax,(int)$currency->currency_locale);

should become:
$vars["amount_1"]=round($order->cart->full_total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax,2);
