How PayPal Currency Conversion Works
Page Currency vs. Settlement Currency
Your PayPal Business account has one fixed settlement currency — the "primary currency" set when the account was created, based on your country. Your payment pages can still display prices in any currency you choose.
When a buyer pays through PayPal and your page currency differs from your account's settlement currency, PayRequest converts the amount using live exchange rates before sending it to PayPal — so your account receives the correct value, not the raw number relabeled with a different currency code.
Buyers see this converted estimate directly on the PayPal button before they pay, so there are no surprises at checkout. The rate shown to the buyer matches the rate used for the actual charge.
Tips for Multi-Currency PayPal Sellers
- •Find your PayPal primary currency under Account Settings → Money, Banks and Cards
- •Price your page in the currency your customers expect — PayRequest handles the conversion to your settlement currency automatically
- •Exchange rates refresh regularly from a live market-rate feed, so the converted amount stays accurate
- •If a buyer's own card or PayPal balance is in a third currency, PayPal may apply its own ~4.5% conversion margin — use our PayPal Fee Calculator to estimate that
Sell in Any Currency, Get Paid Correctly
PayRequest automatically converts your payment page currency to your PayPal settlement currency using live exchange rates — no manual math, no surprises.
