 * Hello
 * I’m using the gateway / currency module so PayPal shows $ , other gateways (cash&
   bank transfer ) are local currency , WC default is $ but I use a currency switcher
   to convert prices to local currency throughout the site.
 * I’m doing this because local currency is not supported by PayPal.
 * All works well except , when PayPal is selected as payment gateway , when customer
   continues to browse , the entire sites shows $, if customer leaves site with 
   PayPal selected and comes back to it, the site currency is $ , not the one based
   on geolocation( local currency)
 * I want the site to show the local currency throughout, but only show $ on checkout.
   How do I make this work?
 * Thanks for help.

       No reply or feedback- but if anyone is looking for a solution here is what I worked for me after research: 
   
       1- Default currency = Local Currency. Used for bank transfer and cash.
       2- To enable PayPal, I have a UK based bank account that I link PayPal to. 
       3- I use this plug-in https://wordpress.org/plugins/paypal-currency-converter-basic-for-woocommerce/#faq which basically converts currency only with PayPal checkout using a conversion rate)
   
       So, this maintains local currency (which is unsupported by PayPal) and converts to supported currency should client wish to pay by PayPal.
       ```
