Question VBCredits - How do Users Purchase Currency?

[vortexstm]

In the tech document for this plugin, it says:

"It may also have been setup that you can purchase more of a currency with real money.

To do so, select Purchase from the From Account."

Where is the "From Account"? I can't find it anywhere! Thanks very much!

You need to create a Purchase event, and you also need to set the Currency Conversion rates via the left-side menu. You then open the currency popup and choose Purchase from the drop-down.

Sorry but how to create a purchase event please? I just spent an hour looking around and couldn't find how to do it. Thank you!

Activity Amounts Configuration -> The drop-down in the bottom

Found it thank you! One more question: How do I get paypal to show up in the purchase event settings?

Paypal is marked as "Active" in the "Payment API Manager":

But in the purchase event settings, the only option under "Currencies" is "Credits":

How do I get paypal to appear in that drop-down please? Sorry for all the noob questions!

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. What drop-down are you referring to? The only time there will be a drop-down in the currency popup after selecting Purchase is if multiple payment processors are active.

Sorry about that! I figured it out - I didn't need to choose paypal in the purchase event settings - paypal would automatically show up as an option when the user selects Credits > Perform Action > Purchase.

Thanks very much for your help!
