PayPal's Website Payments Pro currency issue

I am running 5.6 and processing through PayPal's Website Payments Pro. My PayPal account accepts both US and Canadian currencies. I am finding however that regardless of what I set in the options->languages for the currency of the store, all transactions are sent to the US$ account.
Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks,
Derek |

I seem to recall a thread about this in the past, and I thought that it had something to do with how PayPal's software functioned (i.e. it only worked with USD). Don't quote me, though... |

According to PayPal's latest SDK docs our software is supposed to always send USD even if the paypal account is configured for other currencies.

Thanks Marcus,
I am not sure why would be since what they boast as the benefit of using them is the ability to accept payment in 18 major currencies.
I will get in touch with them to ask the question.
Thanks,
Derek |

I have accepted orders from PayPal users in other countries and PayPal automatically converted the Euros into dollars. |

Derek,
According to PayPal's docs even though we send USD, they use whatever currency your account is set to and then convert if the sender uses another one.

Hi Marcus,
I just spoke with PayPal's tech suppot and they said that values are not required to be sent in US$ but rather they should be sent in whatever currency the store is in (up to 18 major currencies accepted)
So, according to them if I accept (using three different stores) US$, CN$ and Eur, the values should be passed in US$, CN$ and Eur and deposited to each of their respective PayPal accounts.
If the store is in Eur and the order is $20.00 Eur it should process $20.00 Eur to the Eur account as opposed to some conversion that will not reflect properly on the customers credit card statement.
Is it possible to confirm this?
Thanks,
Derek |
