Is it not possible to have; lets say, a Divider of currencies supported by PayPal and the ones that are not? eg of the drop down list. $ USD £ GBP -- not supported by PayPal -- R ZAR Carl Hancock on "Add custom currency" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-custom-currency#post-41746 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 16:04:49 +0000 Carl Hancock 41746@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ You shouldn't make the change in the currency.php file. You should never edit the core Gravity Forms files. These files get overwritten when Gravity Forms releases an update. All hooks and filters should be used by placing custom code in either your theme's functions.php file, or by creating a custom plugin of your own that you then activate. So the issue isn't the hooks/filter usage, the issue is you are placing them in the wrong location. The typical location for custom code is going to be your theme's functions.php file. If you want your custom code to also be "theme proof" then you need to create your own little plugin and install and activate it. The currency built into Gravity Forms was specifically designed to work with the PayPal Add-On and the South African Rand is not supported by the PayPal standard API which is why it was not included. All other currencies can be added via the hooks/filters that are provided. In the future we will expand on this and allow you to change this from within Gravity Forms. freedomstudios on "Add custom currency" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/add-custom-currency#post-41713 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:48:12 +0000 freedomstudios 41713@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ I was also wondering about this. We are a South African based business with the majority of our clients being South African and our currency is the South African Rand (ZAR). A while back I made the manual change in the currency.php file as David suggested above, however when you update to the latest version of Gravity Forms this file gets replaced. Is there not a better way to do this, or at least have all currencies committed to the core files by the Gravity Forms developers?

Or add a custom currency to the list in settings?
