Express Checkout / Paypal just boots back to checkout

Hi EasyPayment Team,

We have also discovered with Express Checkout that customers are able to checkout in their native currency. We currently use Yaycurrency Pro and even when the store is forcing GBP transactions, we are finding PayPal Express checkout uses their native currency e.g USD.

We need this urgently resolving.

These are the notes we received from YayCurrency to pass onto you:

“It seems that the Paypal Express Checkout button at the top of the Checkout page is not being processed correctly. 
– You should contact Payment Gateway for PayPal on WooCommerce plugin to update this function: “wpg_ppcp_currency”, and fix the error Paypal Express Checkout.
– This is a snippet used to temporarily fix the above error. After the Payment Gateway for PayPal on WooCommerce plugin fixes compatibility with YayCurrency, you should disable this”

See screenshot

snippet.add_filter('wpg_ppcp_currency', 'yaycurrency_wpg_ppcp_currency', 99, 1);

function yaycurrency_wpg_ppcp_currency($ppcp_currency) {

if (class_exists('Yay_Currency\Helpers\YayCurrencyHelper')) {

$apply_currency = Yay_Currency\Helpers\YayCurrencyHelper::detect_current_currency();


if (isset($apply_currency['currency'])) {

$is_dis_checkout_diff_currency = Yay_Currency\Helpers\YayCurrencyHelper::is_dis_checkout_diff_currency( $apply_currency );

if ($is_dis_checkout_diff_currency) {

$converted_currency = Yay_Currency\Helpers\YayCurrencyHelper::converted_currency();

$fallback_currency = Yay_Currency\Helpers\YayCurrencyHelper::get_fallback_currency( $converted_currency );

if ($fallback_currency) {

return $fallback_currency['currency'];

}

} else {

return get_option( 'woocommerce_currency' );

}


return $apply_currency['currency'];

}

}


return $ppcp_currency;

}

im having a very similar problem that checkout works if customer fill in address ad chose the paypal buttom at the bottom

but if they go through express checkout then when it goes back to the website checkout page i get this error:

EU VAT Number is not valid

ive looked at all my settings and there is litterally nothing that relates to EU VAT numbers

(im getting this error when i test it myself)

Hi EasyPayment team,

We still have a few payments being accepted in USDA from our USA customers. One of which used Apple Pay and the other used PayPal.

I have forced YayCurrency’s settings to charge in GBP. To confirm the store is in GBP as the native currency.

Can we revisit this? Happy to provide further details if needed.

We appreciate everything your team does and has done for us.

Matt

OK – I need to replicate the issue. What’s the easiest possible way to perform a test order?
