Paypal Express - Shipping (again)


Mort-lemur

Recommended Posts

I have had this problem since upgrading to 2.3.4 and using paypal express, and I just cant seem to solve it, so any help would be appreciated.

 

The problem is as follows (and Im sure others must have this problem).

 

A customer will try to purchase something, hit paypal express, BUT they have not got a valid county registered on their paypal account (my shipping module - MGZMTS - uses county as the shipping ones) and they get the error "sorry we do not deliver to your address"

 

So they then set up an account on the store and register their full address, then they hit the paypal button again and because they do not have a county on paypal again the transaction fails - by now the customer has left or will send me an Irate email asking why I dont deliver to their address....

 

The address stored on paypal always overrides the address stored on the store - so unless they correct their paypal address there is no way out of this problem. I have tried adding little messages near all the paypal buttons advising of the requirement for a complete paypl address, but I still encounter this a few times per week.

 

Is there nothing built into the express module to allow the store address to be used if the paypal address is incomplete?

 

Many Thanks

Paypal should generate a new address if its not exist in Paypal account. What posted variables do you see in PayPal App log?

If you go onto Paypal you can create a new address without a county whatsoever

 

My UK website requires shipping by county for a number of reasons

 

If Paypal allow people to create accounts in UK without County specified then there is not a lot i can do aboutt that

 

Either i take Paypal express off, which i am loathe to do or have to out up with it

 

The only saving grace is that the Paypal express module has its own language file so a bespoke message can be put on the failed shipping address page aimed at Paypal users only asking them to create a new address

Could you give the error log parameters?
