Magento Paypal & CCAvenue Integration - magento

In my magento when I have USD as Base currency, paypal works fine but for 500 Rs. product CCavenue just as For Rs 10 payment(I think Its taking USD Amt. 500Rs=10USD).
I also tried Base Currency as INR, In this case CCAvenue work fine but Paypal shows currency not supported error.
The Main thing is, I want Paypal & CCavnue both... Hope some one helps me out...

I had faced a similar situation.
As paypal payments are not supported for India, setting the currency to INR would disable the paypal payment method! And you're right, it is taking the price in USD.
What you need to do is to add the product price in USD only, keep the base currency to USD but display currency to INR. That way, the website will display prices in INR only and both payment methods would work
Cheers!

This wont work as base currency if USD CC Avenue will not work and if Base Currency is INR PayPal will show error. If Base currency can be changed for each store view / language ( higher plans ) then it would work .

Magento - tax rate based on selected currency

Have a Magento site ver. 1.7.0.2
We have one store set up for, primary is UK, but also want to offer global sales (without multiple stores setup).
So we offer 3 selectable currencies on the site: UK - GBP (main), EU - Euro, US - USD
All prices are excluding vat/tax with a vat breakdown displayed at the cart and checkout.
For UK there is 20% VAT
For EU there is also 20% with a option to add valid EU vat number (which removes the VAT)
This all works fine.
However if you select the USD currency and add a item to the cart it gives a vat breakdown (20%), even though we dont want to add tax when USD is selected.
I should note that once you do checkout and have told the site you are in the US then is correctly removes the vat/tax.
So to clarify, we want it so that if the USD currency is selected on the site no tax/vat is added to the product price in the cart.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I would suggest setting up multi-store configuration, using a store front for each location (UK/US/EU)
This will allow you to set the default country for each sub-store and then you can make the USA the default shipping destination / country for the US store, this will immediately apply the tax rules for this country when purchasing items from the US Store Front.
You said there's no multi-store, setup, but do you have a good reason why you don't want to use this kind of setup? it will allow you to do what you need.
The issue with your setup is that there's no way for the store to know where the customer is before they either login or select during the checkout, this is because you will only have one default location for all currencies.
There may well be a way of doing it like this, but not that I know of. This is what the store front and/or multistore is meant for and good at.

Magento Fedex currency

Conditions:
We need the default display currency in our Magento site be USD, and the Paypal (base currency) also needed to be USD (because we need customers to pay in USD).
Our Fedex a/c is opened in Singapore it turns out that the shipping amount is billed in Singapore Dollar.
Here is the problem:
If the product is sold at USD 200 and actual Fedex shipping amount is (Singapore Dollar)SGD 100, Magento will treat this shipping amount as USD 100 making the final total amount to USD 300 while it should be acutally around USD 278.
I tried to change the base currency in Magento to SGD and everything were calculated correctly (into USD). But the problem is this makes our customers make all payments in SGD by Paypal/credit card. We want our customers to pay USD.
Magento ver. 1.7.0.2
Below module can solve your problem.
https://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/store-currency-payment-checkout.html
Use SGD as base currency and USD as Default Display Currency on store. This module enable charge user with the currency shown in the cart i.e USD.

Setup VAT for administrator only in magento 1.5.x

We have setup a magento store. We are not charging any Tax/VAT to our customer. But in some countries we have to pay Tax/VAT which should be calculated for the administrator reports only. So we know how much we have to pay as Tax/VAT for the order. We can set all the product as non taxable but that rule will also apply to the administrator reports which we do not want. So for example if actual price is 60 for a product we will only charge 60 to the customer and pay Tax/VAT from ourself in the countries we have to pay Tax/VAT?
Can anybody let me know if its possible and if yes, how?
Many Thanks
After hours of struggling I edited the following to make this happen
app\code\core\Mage\Tax\Model\Sales\Total\Quote\Tax.php and commented the
/* $this->_addAmount($totalTax);
$this->_addBaseAmount($baseTotalTax);
$this->_saveAppliedTaxes($address, $data['applied_rates'], $totalTax, $baseTotalTax, $rate);*/
This is around at line 570.

Magento USPS - What if product weight is not available?

I have one query for USPS shipping method in Magento. If I don’t know and i don’t enter the weight of the product in magento, then how USPS will count the cost?
I want where if total amount to pay is over $50 then FREE Shipping will go else it will show fix $5 rate for USPS. I almost have same weight small products so I don't want cost to be calculated. I just want user to know that via USPS, their parcel will come and for that they need to pay more $5 charge.
Can anyone give me idea for what I want to achieve? Any tip will be great help.

you can create a extension for shipping query that include some shipping carrier of DHL UPS and more.
1.create a SOAP for get data from MySQL
2.declare & create for magento on checkout.

Magento - Product prices with and without VAT change

I have set up two tax rates based on uk + eu tax (including vat) and rest of the world tax rate (excluding vat).
All works fine and the correct tax rates show on the checkout and in the invoices but there is a problem: if you purchase something and you are from a non ey country then the frontend price reduces by 17.5% - the tax rate i have configured.
I would have thought that the prices shown on front end wouldnt change?
Any ideas?
That's a setting you can control in the admin. I believe it is called "catalog prices include tax" or something like that...
Silvo is right but I would say that this is exactly what you'd want to happen. If you are selling B2C in the UK (and many other EU countries) then you have to show the prices in the catalog inclusive of VAT. However, if your customer has registered and has a shipping address outwith the EU then you want them to be shown the price net of VAT because you shouldn't be charging them VAT.
