Hi,

>> Using the IPN 3.1.5 version by devosc and have searched through that contribution but fond nothing to help....Can anyone tell me how to change the paypal url from paypal.com to paypal.com/au/ so that payments can be made via the Australian paypal.



Thanks

Wayne

Surely I can't be the only person out of 8600 carts that is trying to change my paypal url from US to AU? Has no-one tried?

In any case after pulling my hair out I finally found that the answer is really simple - just change the MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_DOMAIN in the CONFIGURATION table and just to be sure also change the hardcoded domains on line 181 of paypal.php as well. I did change these initially but it didn't update the config table when I selected the domain.

Does it really matter?

Sorry, that didn't hep. You should be able to change it in Admin modules/payment/paypal edit settings
Mine are as below (edited for security). As you can see, mine is set to www.paypal.com even though I am in Australia. It does not give me problems.

It probably does not make much of a difference, except maybe slightly quicker, but my client wanted it that way. I aslo think it is better to direct customers to the AU paypal now that we have one right here in Australlia.

I had to edit the database and paypal.php file to make changes on an existing cart. However, for a new installation I just edited the paypal.php file before I installed the paypal module and changed all paypal.com to paypal.com.au except for the sandbox.
