PayPal displays wrong currency

[lucascain]

Hi guys,



First time here, so please be gentle.



I recently started putting together an E-Commerce website for one of my relations.



I stumbled across the ejunkie cart and decided it was a brilliant and simple way to implement a cart onto the website. I found everything easy enough, and all is well, apart from the fact the currency, once through to PayPal, displays in USD. I need it to be British sterling. I tried altering the following code-



<!-- currency (USD for Google Checkout USA, GBP for Google Checkout UK. For PayPal: any currency that PayPal supports -->

<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"/>



I altered the "USD" value to "GBP", which I assumed would do the trick, however, when testing, once I click "Fast Checkout with PayPal" on the shopping cart screen, I get the following error.



Cart Error: aeb01dce4c4cd877c53ad54144245f66 Validation Failed



Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?



Thanks.

OK, so after research I think I have to configure EJunkie to use GBP.



How do I do this?

You would need to change each product by going to Seller Admin>View/Edit/Delete products, select a product and click Edit. On the page that comes up you will want to use the Currency drop down menu to switch the currency to Pounds Sterling. After that, click Next until you can Submit the changes. You will need to repeat this for all of your products. Beyond that, unless you have setup shipping rules to work only with specific currencies, there is nothing more you would need to do on our end to change your currency settings.

Thank you for your response. I have now solved that little issue.



I have another problem that I hope you can help with.



I have now got the cart up and running on my site, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I can click 'Add Cart' which brings up the shopping cart with the specified item. However, it doesn't seem to actually accumulate in the cart, as when you click 'View Cart' afterwards, it shows as empty.



Can you help with this please?
