The use of multi-currency IPN

payment_gross and payment_fee: For non-US dollar payment, which is the value of the vacancy, so IPN script will not be such as the amount of dollars to deal with.

Multi-currency variables: For non-US dollar payment, IPN will add the following multi-currency variables, mc_gross and mc_fee
mc_gross: transaction fees deducted before the payment is received to pay the full amount of currency.
mc_fee: payment and paid currency-related transaction costs. Payment_fee similar to the variable function of the variables (such as the amount to be paid, the non-variable).
For rental IPN, such as registration, cancellation, modification, and the failure of EOT, mc_currency is the currency rates rather than monetary payment.

Example 1

If you have a balance of U.S. users receive a payment of $ 100 USD, will be used for payment of the following variables:
mc_gross = payment_gross
mc_fee = payment_fee
Examples of more than 3.1 currency IPN: U.S. payments
payment_status = Completed
payment_gross = 100
payment_fee = 3.00
mc_gross = 100
mc_fee = 3.00
mc_currency = USD

Example 2

If the Canadian dollar has a balance of the user received a payment of $ 100 CAD, will be used for payment of the following variables:
mc_gross and mc_fee valuable.
payment_gross and payment_fee empty.
Examples of more than 3.2 currency IPN: the Canadian dollar payment
payment_status = Completed
payment_gross =
payment_fee =
mc_gross = 100
mc_fee = 3.00
mc_currency = CAD

Example 3

If the account is set to automatic exchange of payment (automatically convert payments), these variables will be used to show dollar. This example shows the balance of U.S. users have received a sum of 100 GBP (Pound Sterling) payment:
Examples of more than 3.3 currency IPN: automatic payment of £ exchange Automatic Conversion of GBP Payment
payment_status = Completed
payment_gross =
payment_fee =
mc_gross = 100
mc_fee = 3.00
mc_currency = GBP
settle_amount = 145.5
settle_currency = USD
exchange_rate = 1.5

Example 4

If the payments received as a result pending_reason = multi_currency and to be paid in the state, received the first IPN will not settle_amount, settle_currency or exchange_rate.

Examples of more than 3.4 currency IPN: to be paid (Pending Payment)
payment_status = Pending
pending_reason = multi_currency
payment_gross =
mc_gross = 100
mc_currency = GBP

The second contains information about IPN settlement payment. If payment in order to account for the major currencies (primary currency) to accept, for example in U.S. dollars:
Examples of 3.5 to be paid - as the main currency exchange
payment_status = Completed
payment_gross =
payment_fee =
mc_gross = 100
mc_fee = 3.00
mc_currency = GBP
settle_amount = 145.5
settle_currency = USD
