Hi - I am, just testing the protx direct module, and generally it seems great.
On my site I allow the prices to be displayed in GBP, EURO or USD - the protx and merchant account will only accept GBP. When I used the paypal IPN module this was handled by sending the amount to paypal in GBP regardless of what currency was selected, but it seems that this isnt handled with the protx direct module because if I choose a currency other than GBP it just fails to checkout and returns to the paymant page.
Any idea what im doing wrong? How can I make it so the final amount sent to protx is the GBP value?
Cheers - really appreciate any help on this, thanks.

You can't. In its default state Protx only accepts payments in GBP, while you have your website set for multi-currencies. They may have multi-currency accounts, but you'd have to pay a lot extra for those anyway.
Pay Pal and Protx are two entirely different systems.

I understand that, and I have the same setup with paypal: whatever the user chooses to have the prices displayed in on the website, they ultimately get charged GBP. For example they choose to have it displayed in USD and it ends up $400 then when they actually pay the equivalent GBP gets charged. The currency options are just so that they can get a feel for the prices in their currency, but whatever happens they always pay the GBP amount.
In paypal, and other payment modules this all works fine, but with protx it doesnt like it.
Any ideas?
