My transactions look kinda like this now:
displaying both euro and usd
Is there a way for it to only display Euro?
When logged in to PayPal you click the activity button on the top left and there
activity
It displays all the transactions with an option for currency.
currencies
However this doesn't change all curencies on my transactions page, nor does it remember the chosen currency.
Yes you can change your account's primary currency so all transactions are automatically transferred to your choice.

I have e-book selling website where I used a paypal button to accept the payment. The button is created from paypal website and its code snippet is added in the form to show the button(not via api). When I set the currency of the button to USD then indian paypal users are not able to use the button. It says "Merchant Does bot accept payment in your currency". If I change it to INR then it only accepts the indian customers only.
Is there any way to accept all currencies via a common button. I means Indians could pay me in INR and Others in USD.
Thanks in advance.
No, separate currencies are needed due to Indian regulations, and there is no support for combining multiple currencies (and their respective amounts) within a single button, other than coding it yourself.
If you generate buttons at PayPal, you need one button for domestic payments in INR, and another button for international payments in a currency such as USD.
It's possible to make something like a dropdown or radio buttons that switch a single PayPal button between the configurations for amount1/USD and amount2/INR -- i.e., give the buyer a way to select their country and change the amount/currency based on that -- but to do that you will need to write some custom JavaScript code to make the switch.
Is it possible to have an active automatic stock counter on my website (for each item drop down box), that queries from my paypal button's stock inventory?
So if someone buys, the stock counter for that particular item goes down automatically, like it does on paypal's end. But I want it to be shown on my website for my customers to see how much stock is actually left. Is this possible with paypal?
I'd check the BMGetButtonDetails API and see if it'll provide it for you.
Paypal makes it really easy to create a donate URL. A donor can enter a custom $ amount or use a fixed one. We'll use the custom amount, since it's more flexible. Is there anyway to allow the donor to enter a custom amount, and have PayPal display a checkbox for example to allow this amount to be a recurring monthly donation via a URL?
We checked out the "subscribe" button, but it only returns a form, not a URL, and didn't see anywhere to let the donor choose the amount.
Basically, this should be an optional field in the donate URL. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
You'll need to use standard subscription buttons or the Recurring Payments API. Either way you could setup your page so the user chooses those options on your site prior to being sent over to PayPal.
use cmd=_donations. Paypal will prompt for an amount and whether it is recurring.
PayPal now has recurring donations, for mobile checkout, by default. See this blog post.
Is it possible to modify the currency list in PayPal. I would like remove some currencies.
There is a list of currencies in Pay Pal. See the currencies here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/dmo/demo_mc_1-outside . One can accept/pay in more than one currency.
The way to cancel or to stop using one of your currencies (or to make a currency disappear, if you wish) is to click on the "Currency converter" link (on the right to your main balance figure/number (where the amount of money you have on your Pay Pal account is written) - and that will take you to a page with your available active currencies, there select one and deactivate.
There's no 'currency list' in PayPal.
My question is this - is there any way to create a paypal button which allows the customer to enter the value of the amount they wish to pay. I do not wish to use a 'donate' button because it is not a donation situation - it is a sale of a product.
Example: I have an ethically produced environmentally friendly product. The base price will be $10.00 (for example), but I would ask and allow people to pay/contribute more if they wanted to in support of the ethical/environmental aspect of the product.
So one customer might want to pay $11 while another might want to pay $13.
Is it possible to allow this to happen with any type of paypal button - excluding the donate button.
Thanks

Yes, this is possible, but what you'd need to do is have a system by which they would enter their price on your website (and obviously you can check it's >=$10) and once they've entered a price, you would create the button code using the price they've specified.
