- (In version 1.0): Nigerian NGN currency code is not in the PPD component by default. I had to add Currency Code manually to PPD (see how to here ). I had to also add a field for capturing currency code in the payment plugin because of this. I hope I can remove the field in later versions.
-
(In version 1.3.0): added support for taxes, removed duplicate values, fixed wrong return fee, and removed firstname/lastname which could be incorrect (handled by the payment gateway) (By Olivier).
-
(In version 1.1): The PayPerDownload plugin version 6.1.0 now factors in a dropdown for you to select your currency. This plugin has been updated to reflect that upgrade (Thanks Olivier and Ratmil!).
