Paypal and new currency for GeoLocation

Hello

For the shop I want that the prices of individual products would be various for different countries (using the Geolocation plugin). I managed to install a new currency, which then varies depending on the country. But the new currency is "fictitious" and the PayPal plugin can’t recognize it. So the payment through PayPal is disabled. I want the prices and payment in Euros for ali products in all countries

Does anyone have any suggestion how to solve the resulting problems?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You need to set your "main currency" setting as euros. Then, in the System>Currencies menu, set your fictitious currency as displayed but not published.
And finally, in the zones where you want to use that currency, select that currency.
Then, configure your geolocation plugin.
That way, the geolocation plugin will set that currency when you arrive on the website if your geolocated zone is set to that currency. So you'll see the prices of the products in that currency. However, when you reach the checkout, the currency will be changed to euros automatically so that you can pay with PayPal (you'll see the before/after prices on the checkout along with a message saying that the currency has been changed).

Thank you for you answer

If I set »fictitious« currency on displayed, but not published, then I can't set two prices for a certain product. I simply don't see the »fictitious« currency in the pull down menu.

Hi,

Try to add the line:
$this->currencyType->displayType = 'all';
before the line:
$this->currencyType->load($main_currency);
in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/product/view.html.php and let us know if that works.

Hello

Is the location of the file correct? After an hour of search, I simply still haven’t found the code line:
$this->currencyType->load($main_currency);

I haven’t found neither the lines that would be at least similar to this line (no string "currencyType" found in the whole file)

Thx.

Hi,

The location is correct.
Can you provide the content of the file that you're looking into ?
Are you sure that do didn't open the file components/com_hikashop/views/products/view.html.php instead of administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/product/view.html.php ?

This is the file under the directoy:
../administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/product/
view.html.php [50kB]

I'm really confused

Hi,

It seems that you're using a really old version of HikaShop as the code is not the code from the latest version or even the one before.
In your case, try to add the line:
$currency->displayType = 'all';
after the line:
$currency = hikashop_get('type.currency');

Sorry for inconvenience caused (my story is presented below) and thank you for your help.

It seems that the entry the second currency is now no longer a problem, but now the problem occurs when showing it. Plugin GoeLocation works perfectly and it recognizes foreign country and shows other currency. However it shows the "original" price (98,00 EUR) instead of second price (125,00 EUR.), which is defined for that currency. See attached pictures (there are two currencies “EUR” and “EUR.”)

Why is also presented the "original" prices in EUR?

I feel that we are close to a final solution


My story: I use to be WordPress user, but a half a year ago my friend came to me with Akeeba backup to restore his shop and put it on our servers. Shop was placed on our server and everything worked perfectly. About 14 days ago he came to me with a desire to make his boutique store also presented abroad, where prices will be slightly different. Most of the knowhow I got on your excellent forum, but when I faced with a “bigger” problem, I simply started a new forum topic.

Thx

Hi,

Could you provide a screenshot of the settings of both the EUR and your currency so that we can see how you set them up ?
Which version of HikaShop are you using ?

Is this the screens you are looking for?

Hi,

Can you check that you have all the user groups checked in the ACL icon of your 125€ price ?
Otherwise, that price might not be taken into account by the system which would have to rely on the other price for the display.

Access levels are by both prices set to ALL

Let me point out that system worked fine (showing the prices) before the new currency adjustment. Only PayPal payment system did not function. Maybe this information might help you?

So what did you change between now and before ?
What setting makes it so that it works like you want in one way and not in another ?

I did just what you advise me:

In your case, try to add the line:
$currency->displayType = 'all';
after the line:
$currency = hikashop_get('type.currency');


set your "main currency" setting as euros. Then, in the System>Currencies menu, set your fictitious currency as displayed but not published.

That's all...
