At ARPAY, we’re committed to making your online shopping experience smooth, secure, and accessible, no matter where in the world you are. While we don’t currently support local payment methods in every country, PayPal bridges the gap by allowing you to pay in your local currency.
Local Currency via PayPal? Here’s Why It Works
Paying in your local currency at checkout offers several key benefits. It saves you money, simplifies your purchase, and helps ensure your payment goes through without hassle.
1. See Prices in Your Own Currency

- Euro (EUR)
- British Pound (GBP)

2. Avoid Bank Currency Conversion Fees
Most banks charge extra foreign exchange (FX) fees when paying in a foreign currency. These hidden charges can add up quickly. By using PayPal to pay in your local currency, you bypass these fees entirely.
3. Reduce the Risk of Payment Declines
Some banks may block or decline foreign currency payments, especially for international transactions. Choosing to pay in your local currency helps ensure your payment is processed smoothly and without issues.
4. Clear and Transparent Checkout
You’ll see exactly what you’ll pay in your local currency—no surprise fees or confusing exchange rates. It’s a clear and straightforward way to shop.
5. Safe and Secure Payments
This globally trusted and secure payment method keeps your personal and payment information fully protected—no hidden fees, just safe and reliable transactions.
What If Your PayPal Account Is in USD?
No problem! Even if your account is set to a different currency like USD, you can still pay in your local currency.
For example: A customer in Mozambique with a USD-based PayPal account can still complete their purchase in Mozambican Metical (MZN).
PayPal will handle the conversion for you in a clear and transparent way—so you always know exactly what you’re paying.
