We Tried to make a Payment using Paypal Arguably The Largest Payment Provider in the World and for some weeks now it has not worked !
They gave an Explanation Later After Many Domains had gone into Suspension and would incur a Futher 100percent charge to renew .
They had been modifying invoices to enable Payments by Paypal before
- Is this a ploy to Make Customers Pay More from domains that have expired cos of Delays ?
- Why Keep Paypal as A Payment Gateway When The Company has Banned You
- Why were they banned ?
Previously for some weeks now they had been amending invoices so customers abroad can make payments with Paypal with VERY HIGH CHARGES !
We got a reply from them and this is their Silly Explanation
Thank you for writing back.
We would like to use this medium to inform you of the latest update from PayPal as regards Payments and Currencies
(Un)Fortunately, the new PayPal module does not support conversion to USD. This means that any currency that is not supported by PayPal will not be used for Payment on any platform. In other words, if the currency is not in USD (if it is in NGN, KES, or GHS which we currently support), you cannot make payment with it, regardless of your country.
Really ??? They are Charging People EXORBITANT RATES FOR USD CONVERSIONS Almost Doble The Price of Products
This means paying with Paypal on Whogohost would require your client account and orders to be in a currency supported by Paypal such as USD.
HOW WOULD THAT WORK ? WHEN THE PRODUCT IS STILL IN NAIRA ? RUBBISH REASON !
WHOGOHOST USED TO ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE YOUR COUNTRY SO YOU CAN PAY WITH PAYPAL IT DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE THAT IS WHY WE THINK THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED BY PAYPAL !
While we may not be able to have your currency (NGN, KHS & GHS) changed on your client account, we advise a second client account to be created, with the USD currency, if suitable.
We also recommend trying other payment methods such as Flutterwave, Paystack, and Virtual Wallet.
AS IN WHY ? ALL THESE ONLY ACCEPT NAIRA PAYMENTS ! WHYY EVEN SUGGEST THEM WE KNOW THEM ALREADY !
