PayPal to accept multiple currencies
Howard Lake | 13 November 2002 | News
Online payment system has announced it will soon accept multiple currencies. Charities using the PayPal donate option will therefore be able to accept donations online via these currencies.
In mid-November PayPal will be accepting payments in four additional currencies: Canadian Dollars (C$), Euros (‚€), Pounds Sterling (£), and Japanese Yen (¥). You will then be able to use and accept these currencies with any of PayPal’s Website Payment tools such as single item purchase, shopping cart, subscriptions and recurring billing, and, or most interest to charities, donations.
Charities accepting PayPal donations should login to their account to find out how to create new donation buttons featuring the currency of their choice.
