Accepting or Denying Cross-Currency Payments
You choose which currencies you accept and how you would like to accept them. You can set
your Payment Receiving Preferences to handle cross-currency payments. See “Blocking
Certain Kinds of Payment” on page 47.
When a customer sends a payment in a currency you hold, the funds appear in your account in
the balance of that currency. When a customer sends a payment in a currency you do not hold,
you can accept or deny the payment.
