Payment gateway questions

Good day,

I'm looking forward to purchasing your new theme and start a little business!

I am in South Africa. Paypal does accept South African Rand (ZAR) payments and receipts, but on your demo the ZAR (R) symbol for type of payment is not included? Is there a way to change my currency to ZAR (South African Rand)?

Another thing: Is it possible to narrow the listings down to say 2 or 3 towns and then only give those options in the Search widget (e.g. drop-down with 3 towns instead of typing in a city or county...). I am only going to focus at 2 or 3 towns as a start and my users must know that they can only search business listings in those towns...

Thanks a lot!

Louis

The Vantage admin shows currencies available in relation to the PayPal supported currencies list, so as you have seen ZAR is not there. Your other alternative to this would be to look at the available Payment gateway plugins found in the AppThemes Marketplace, as some of these other payment gateways (e.g. 2Checkout) do offer support for ZAR. These plugins are compatible with Vantage so they will allow the relevant currencies.

Narrowing down the listings in the way you describe may be difficult, because the location is based on Google Maps data entered in when the listing is created and essentially this would allow people to still select other locations even if the search was customized to allow only a few. Ultimately changes such as this would require customization of the default theme on your part, and there would be no encrypted in the theme that would prevent you making such changes. Thanks.
