Subject: [PATCH] Fix PayPal MULTI_CURRENCY_ORDER error by using consistent GBP

All store items are priced in GBP (filtered by price_gbp > 0).
Hardcode GBP currency throughout the checkout and order creation
flow to prevent currency mismatches between the PayPal SDK, order
items, and purchase unit amounts.
