Magento – PayPal gateway has rejected request. Currency is not supported (#10605: Transaction refused because of an invalid argument)

magento-1.9paypalpaypal-express

PayPal gateway has rejected my request. It gives me following error:

Currency is not supported (#10605: Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details).

I am using INR as base currency, and placing order using AUD, but I am getting above error.

Please advise any solution for this issue.

Thanks in advance

Create a file Config.php in /app/code/local/Mage/Paypal/Model/Config.php

Step 1

Copy the file from /app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Config.php to /app/code/local/Mage/Paypal/Model/Config.php

Step 2

Look for the $_supportedCurrencyCodes

protected $_supportedCurrencyCodes = array('AUD', 'CAD', 'CZK', 'DKK', 'EUR', 'HKD', 'HUF', 'ILS', 'JPY', 'MXN',
    'NOK', 'NZD', 'PLN', 'GBP', 'SGD', 'SEK', 'CHF', 'USD', 'TWD', 'THB');

and add your currency that needs supporting, at the end of this array.

I assume INR is Indian Rupee currency. So your array would look like below, after adding the currency to it.

protected $_supportedCurrencyCodes = array('AUD', 'CAD', 'CZK', 'DKK', 'EUR', 'HKD', 'HUF', 'ILS', 'JPY', 'MXN',
    'NOK', 'NZD', 'PLN', 'GBP', 'SGD', 'SEK', 'CHF', 'USD', 'TWD', 'THB', 'INR');

Magento – PayPal gateway has rejected request. Currency is not supported (#10605:

Paypal does not support all currencies.
You can find a list of supported currencies in Mage_Paypal_Model_Config::$_supportedCurrencyCodes.

'AUD', 'CAD', 'CZK', 'DKK', 'EUR', 'HKD', 'HUF', 'ILS', 'JPY', 'MXN', 'NOK', 'NZD', 'PLN', 'GBP', 'SGD', 'SEK', 'CHF', 'USD', 'TWD', 'THB'

You can make your base currency one of the supported currencies, enter your prices in the supported currency, fill in a conversion rate and use on frontend only your currency. Not a pretty solution but it should work.

I have used small trick to rid this error. It is not good solution but sometime it is useful.

Go to app\code\core\Mage\Paypal\Model\Express\Checkout.php. Find the public function start and find below code

$this->_api->setAmount($this->_quote->getBaseGrandTotal())
            ->setCurrencyCode($this->_quote->getBaseCurrencyCode())
            ->setInvNum($this->_quote->getReservedOrderId())
            ->setReturnUrl($returnUrl)
            ->setCancelUrl($cancelUrl)
            ->setSolutionType($solutionType)
            ->setPaymentAction($this->_config->paymentAction);

Just replace the below code  

$this->_api->setAmount($this->_quote->getBaseGrandTotal())
            ->setCurrencyCode('USD')
            ->setInvNum($this->_quote->getReservedOrderId())
            ->setReturnUrl($returnUrl)
            ->setCancelUrl($cancelUrl)
            ->setSolutionType($solutionType)
            ->setPaymentAction($this->_config->paymentAction);

With this trick now you will go to paypal without any error. But you have to convert the price from Base Currency to USD.

Note: This solution is only for Paypal Express Users.
