South African Website

[HeroneVape]

I am about to launch my South African website. I am confused as to whether I should list my product prices in South African Rands (ZAR) or in a primary currency such as USD or GBP. I would like to list in ZAR. My question is, how do I create a Paypal Button for the ZAR currency and how does the  Paypal' BUTTON take this information through to the checkout process?

Thank you.

I realise that the ZAR is not supported, however I have researched that through the FNB of South Africa Paypal is operable. If I can go back to my question. How does this work? If I display my product price on the website in ZAR, what happens at checkout? Does the checkout convert to USD automatically? How does it work?

If you are not able to answer me can you please put me on to someone that can help me with this question.

Thank you
