I have a site that has a static php shop page using PayPal standard with eCart 4. The currency is GBP for the UK. I want to create an exact copy of the page but change the pricing to Dollars for the US.

What is the best way to do this - copy & edit all the code or start with a new cart?

Copy and edit the code. You would just have to update the prices and the field that posts to paypal for the currency and that should be it.

Thanks Ray

Is the currency just in the include file as I don't see it in the <head> or <body> and how will this affect my existing UK GBP page? Also, what about the Quick Cart, Updateable, Confirm and Checkout pages; do I share common ones between both currencies?

You would start with copies of the current ones. The new currency version will be exactly the same except where currencies are referred to. This should be on a different domain or directory so that they aren't actually sharing the same files, they each have their own copy.

Thanks Ray

This might even solve my problem in the short term of the Checkout Wizard bug!
