My base currency is set to INR not USD. I am using only 2 currencies INR and USD on my site. When I want to checkout through paypal the INR amount is not converted to USD, although the $ currency symbol is seen on the paypal page but the amount is not converted to dollars
Like (if base price is Rs 5,600 it shows USD 5,600 instead of USD 100 in paypal. Basically its not converting the base currency)
Can anyone of this great community help me out of this.
Thanks & regards.

I am developing a simple shopping cart with paypal checkout, but i am stuck with the VAT processing part on paypal's side.
Paypal seems to add up total +VAT+ shipping. But when i substract the VAT from the $grandtotal variable in my shopping cart i get the error message:
The totals of the cart item amounts do not match order amounts.
I am using Paypal's SetExpressCheckout.
My questions:
1/ for parameter PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT should i use the total with or without the VAT
2/ should i use parameter PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT? if so how do i prevent paypal from adding it up
regards
Please see the following extracts from the PayPal site :
PAYMENTREQUEST_n_AMT - (Required) Total cost of the transaction to the
buyer. If shipping cost and tax charges are known, include them in
this value. If not, this value should be the current sub-total of the
order. If the transaction includes one or more one-time purchases,
this field must be equal to the sum of the purchases. Set this field
to 0 if the transaction does not include a one-time purchase such as
when you set up a billing agreement for a recurring payment that is
not immediately charged. When the field is set to 0, purchase-specific
fields are ignored.
PAYMENTREQUEST_n_ITEMAMT - Sum of cost of all items in this order. For digital goods, this field is required. You can specify up to 10
payments, where n is a digit between 0 and 9, inclusive; except for
digital goods, which supports single payments only.
PAYMENTREQUEST_n_TAXAMT - (Optional) Sum of tax for all items in this order. You can specify up to 10 payments, where n is a digit
between 0 and 9, inclusive; except for digital goods, which supports
single payments only.
AMT = item amt + tax amt + shipping amt + handle amt - discount.
So if your item amt already includes tax, then don't use tax amt, otherwise, make sure item amt doesn't include tax and put tax in tax amt.
For having deprecated IIF, you'd think Intuit would make it easier to map the calls but I've found myself in something of a corner.
I have a fairly old script mapping our stuff to IIF.

Now, I have a script that handles the customer and finding the right record in QB but I'm trying to find the right call to put all these records in. It looks like the first two can fit into ReceivePaymentAddRq but it's less clear on the second set.
Then I have another set that starts with BILL
TRNS BILL 5/15/2014 Accounts Payable Our Vendor -344.81 450608 N 6/14/2014 Net 30
SPL BILL 5/15/2014 Cost of Goods Sold:Purchases Dear Customer 344.81 450608 Invoice123 N
ENDTRNS
I think both fall under BillAdd but that COGS line could also fall under ChargeAdd
The transaction type PAYMENT would indeed be a ReceivePaymentAddRq. The CHECK type would be a CheckAddRq as you are not effecting an Accounts Receivable account. The transaction type of BILL would be a BillAddRq, as you are wanting to effect Accounts Payable. The ChargeAddRq is used for a customer charge, which is not the same as a CreditCardChargeAddRq.
It helps to have used QuickBooks manually a bit to understand the types of transactions that are used, but here's a quick little reference (these include the AddRq, QueryRq and ModRq where applicable). Note that this is not 100% as there are situations where you might use a different transaction type, but it's a good starting point:
Effect Accounts Receivable:
Invoice
ReceivePayment
Charge
CreditMemo
Effect Accounts Payable:
Bill
ItemReceipt
VendorCredit
BillPaymentCheck
BillPaymentCreditCard
Effect Bank Account:
Check
Deposit
Effect Credit Card Account:
CreditCardCharge
CreditCardCredit
my app product defined USD,and not defined GBP.when I use GBP to pay, the pay dialog return
the error that Sorry, there was a problem and we can’t complete your request. Please try again later.
I'm confusion about that,the facebook offical doucument show that If you do not define a price point for a particular local currency, users of that currency will have their price automatically calculated based upon the current exchange rate between the first currency you specify and that target currency.
Can anyone help me?
Could it be that you were trying 0.01 USD? that converts to less than 0.01 GBP
Defining a single unit of in-game currency that has a product:price:amount less than 0.01. For example, selling 1,000 Coins for USD 1.00 would require a unit price of 0.001, which is not supported.

If I do a request with the INITAMT equal to the recurring payment amount, it works.
But if I try to bill a different INITAMT (and so different TAX), I get this error:
Tax calculation mismatch. The tax amount for the regular non-trial billing period is different than the sum of the tax for each item in the cart.
My actual request:
I have an initial payment of 4.84€ including 0.84€ of VAT tax.
The next month the amount to bill should be 25.09€ (including 6.09€ VAT).
The request I send is basically this:
Method: CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile
"CURRENCYCODE":"EUR",
"INITAMT":4.84,
"TAXAMT":0.84,
"DESC":"Subscription",
"BILLINGPERIOD":"Month",
"BILLINGFREQUENCY":1,

"L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMCATEGORY0":"Digital",
"L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0":"Subscription",
"L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0":29,
"L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT0":6.09,
"L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0":1
"PROFILEREFERENCE":"51a1f8f4732baf580a000031",

"PROFILESTARTDATE":"2013-06-26T11:59:12+0000",
And the response:
"TIMESTAMP":"2013-05-27T10:55:46Z",
"CORRELATIONID":"969d07e2cef8a",
"ACK":"Failure",
"VERSION":"74",

"L_SHORTMESSAGE0":"Tax calculation mismatch.",
"L_LONGMESSAGE0":"Tax calculation mismatch. The tax amount for the regular non-trial billing period is different than the sum of the tax for each item in the cart.",
"L_SEVERITYCODE0":"Error"
I'd like to do this with the INITAMT value, so that the user can see the two purchases as correlated in the Paypal private area (ie: a subscription with an inital payment).
Otherwise I'll have to do a separate DoExpressCheckout for the initial payment.
What's happening is that you cannot (I believe) set a tax amount for the Initial Amount.
The TAXAMT is for the recurring payment, not the Initial Amount.
Your statement is saying "Billing 29€ with a tax of 0.84€".
However your item list says the tax should be 6.09€
Change your TAXAMT to 6.09€ and it should be fine.
I am using the PayPal url approach which works well but when I try charge tax it only seems to apply the tax to the total value of all of the goods, whereas I would like to charge Tax on the Total goods + Shipping, ie
Goods $100.00,
Shipping $20.00,
SubTotal $120.00,
Tax (10%) $12.00,
Grand Total $132.00
This is what I have

I made a change to the tax variable to apply a rate rather than an amount. At this time PayPal doesn't charge tax including shipping as services are typically not taxable.
If this is a requirement I'd recommend calculating the total tax amount on your site before sending the Post to PayPal. The value can be entered in the tax_1 field. I've shown an example of this in the second post.

Here's an example with you calculating the amount. Notice you're only sending one tax amount rather than a tax amount for each item. PayPal doesn't show itemized tax amounts to the customer so there is no impact on the customer's end.
