Has anyone else seen this bug - I cannot find it reported on the forums here:
I'm using PayPal Standard and I'm registered for VAT. I'm using NOP v1.9.
PayPal Standard works fine when you just pass JUST the total from NOP to PayPal.
However, when you tick the 'Pass product names and order totals to PayPal:' box in the configuration menu for PayPal Standards, the itemisation on Paypal tries to do its own calculation for VAT, by putting the totals for each item ex-VAT, applying any discount ex-VAT, and then doing its own calculation at the end. This can result in a rounding error since NOP seems to apply discount (say 5%) on the inc VAT amount.
Anyone else seen this and found a solution?
Thanks in advance.
