Canada Website - USA Based

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   If I set up a separate store 
for Canada, and I am based here in the USA, I should think my Canadian 
site would show Canadian Dollars.  

My questions are: How do I set up the payment processing.  For paypal, do I need to set up a 
paypal account in Canada?  OR can I use a US Paypal account, and if so, 
how or where does the currency conversion take place?  I have spent 
hours trying to figure this out from the paypal people, but they have no
 support.  Maybe someone here has dealt with this before.  

Can I also use the same merchant account as I use for my USA store?  Or do I need a new merchant account too?

Anyone experienced in this would be nice to hear from...
Thanks

	You should be able to setup the store so that it uses Canadian dollars both as the store currency and the PayPal currency. With regard to the latter, you will use your regular PayPal account credentials, and just specify Canadian dollars as the currency when you set it up in the ProductCart Control Panel.
