WooCommerce PayPal Unsupported Currency Compatibility Plugin

If you want to use PayPal in your WooCommerce, but the store currency is not supported by PayPal, and when you try to activate the PayPal payment method, you get a message that  Method is disabled : PayPal does not support your store currency  , you can use this plugin to accept PayPal payments by converting a store’s currency to one of PayPal’s supported currencies. You can manually enter the exchange rate of PayPal’s currency to your store’s currency, or use an API that will automatically update the exchange rate daily.

Added support for the new official WooCommerce PayPal plugin after version 5.5.0 – “WooCommerce PayPal Payments”.
