Reason #1: Using a currency that is not configured in your profile

 

This means that the payment request payload contains a currency code that is not configured/listed in your profile. For example, your profile only accepts EGP currency, while your online store base currency is USD. In this case, your online store would request the payment in USD currency, that's when the error message "Currency not available" would show up for you. You will just need to either to check the sent currency in the request to your system according to your integration method as follows:
