PayPal Integration: PayPal Payments When You Sell in Foreign Currency
How do you take PayPal payments on Esoltec? Esoltec's PayPal integration offers your customers PayPal as a payment option in regions where you sell in a foreign currency. You enter the Client ID and Client Secret in Finance › Payment Settings, test them and switch to live; the customer approves the payment on the PayPal screen, and you make refunds from the order detail. Because PayPal does not support Turkish lira, it cannot be used in a region that sells in lira.
