I have a website with a PayPal merchant account in India.
If a user from my website tries to make a 1 USD payment through their PayPal account, it shows the error message "We’re sorry. This seller doesn’t accept payments in your currency. Please return to the seller and choose another way to pay."
If they pay via the Debit or Credit Card option, it says Things don't appear to be working right now.
However, I have both USD and INR currency support in my merchant account.
Can anyone tell me a solution to pay with USD currency from within India? how can we handle this? can we handle both international and local payments in PayPal? is there any automatic currency detection available based on country?
do any other payment gateway easier to handle both local and international currencies?
For payments within India, local regulations require the currency to be INR. However, support for INR and domestic transactions in India was announced to be going away soon (April 1)
Going forward, it seems PayPal in India should only be used for international payments -- either the buyer or the seller should have an account that is not Indian, and the currency can be USD or any other PayPal supported currency.

There is no solution. For regulatory reasons, intraborder payments within India are only permitted to be in INR.
This is not a technical issue.
I have created Paypal button using paypal selling tool, my business account is approved. If i try to pay in INR, my payment go through. But when i create button that receives payment in USD. The payment fails on the first page.
My Paypal Business account is registered in India. Error screenshot is as below.

To resolve your issue, please kindly follow the below link to create an Indian Sandbox business account from the PayPal developer portal, set up your integration with that new Indian account and follow as mentioned below for currencies.

USD for the Overseas customers
NOTE:
If an Overseas customer tries to make payment in the INR currency, it
gives an error on the PayPal checkout page. So, you've to use USD or
any other PayPal supported currency except INR for the overseas
customers.
INR for the Indian Customers.
NOTE:
If an Indian customer tries to make payment in a non-INR currency, it
gives an error on the PayPal checkout page. So, you've to use only INR
currency for the Indian customers.
For accepting payments in INR merchants have set primary currency is INR for the Overseas customers set primary currency is USD
I hope this will work fine for cross-currency
At my company, an internet platform, we have a set up with Paypal adaptive payments allowing merchant across the world selling digital goods to local and international buyers, with a fee sent to us via adaptive payments.
According to PayPal's documentation at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/adaptive-payments/
"You can use Adaptive Payments in any country where PayPal is accepted."
We have now had reports from potential merchants from both India and Georgia stating that they cannot make the connection to our service work with the PayPal accounts.
Am I missing something? Shouldn't it work with a simple PayPal account in these countries or do the potential merchants needs any special approval from Paypal or are there other prerequisites?
I am building a project that might be a bit complicated and I have to use paypal for this.
There are many users in the app and they can be receivers, payers or both. The receivers/sellers provide certain services and the payers have to pay their sellers monthly. So if the user agrees to pay, the paypal will charge him monthly and automatically. The users need to register as paypal member and get authorized from paypal beforehand so I can use their emails for the transactions in the app.
I am thinking of using paypal express checkout with recurring apis, but I am not sure if it is the right decision and no clue if it is working. Any suggestions? thanks.
You could use either Express Checkout, Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard, or Enhanced Recurring Payments w/ Website Payments Standard. Either one of these would allow you to set up recurring payments. Enhanced Recurring Payments is the only one that would have a monthly charge associated with it. Express Checkout and Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard would not have a monthly charge. However, Enhanced Recurring Payments allows the buyer to sign up for a subscription without having to have a PayPal account, and they can just use their credit card. Express Checkout and Subscriptions w/ Website Payments Standard require the buyer to have a PayPal account. They can still be billed via credit card, but they have to have the credit card attached to their PayPal account. The subscription would bill the PayPal account, and the PayPal account would pull the funds from the credit card on the account.
With a PayPal account, your users can receive or send funds based on the country these accounts are located in.
I need to integrate paypal into online store..
Requirements
- All credit cards (secure) details should be inputed on PayPal site
- User do not need paypal account
So there is couple ways of integration
Standart IPN - when you redirect
user to paypal site and he use his
(or create new) paypal account and
than redirected back to site
PayPal Payments Pro - user input his details including credit card number on my site(and I make payment using API)
But is there a way where I can redirect user to paypal site and he just input a credit card number and redirected back.. So user input just credict card number and that it is - he do not need a paypal account or fill any other fields.. Does it possible?
Stanard Paypal does offer you the ability pay via credit card without a paypal account

I am experiencing the same problem as you, and would like to put my findings on record. With Website Payments Standard, depending on which country your user selects, he/she may or may not need to create a PayPal account. These are the three most typical form submit buttons that he/she may encounter:
Case 1:
Review and Continue
No requirement to create an account
Countries: US, Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan
Case 2:
Continue
A so-called optional account is created for you, and you will need to register a PayPal account after 10 transactions.
You will only be able to use PayPal via PayPal Account Optional for up to [10] transactions before we will require you to open a PayPal
account with PPEL to enable further use of the PayPal system. At that
point you will be required to enter into our standard user agreement
to govern the ongoing relationship with PayPal.
Countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, United Kingdom
Case 3:
Agree and Create Account
You must create a PayPal account to transact.
Countries: Albania, Algeria, China, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Vietnam
Although most credit card processors require only the card number, card verification code and at most the card expiry date, PayPal requires that address and contact number be provided. I am not sure how PayPal is going to enforce the accuracy of such information without also being a card association. If you get what I mean.
