Stop converting localised currency payments into dollar transactions

?

It is completely unclear to the customer that Lemon Squeezy always operates in dollars, despite a store being presented in euros (or any another currency).

↳ This results in massive confusion when the bank transaction shows a different amount. Also wastes time for customer and seller to discuss why this has happened.

↳ Particular problem for Paypal payments - Paypal uses a massively unfavourable rate for converting from dollars to euros meaning in the end THE CUSTOMER IS CHARGED MORE EUROS THAN IS ON THE INVOICE WHEN PAYING THROUGH PAYPAL.

➡️ If lemon Squeezy sent Paypal the total that was in the local currency on the invoice, there would be no confusion or money loss for the customer

On the attached example you can see the customer expected to pay €177,62, but in the end was charged €186,45 (€8,83 more than expected).

2 x customers so far being charged more euros than on their invoice because of sending dollars to Paypal - resulting in uneccessary conversion fees.
