    Hi,

    I was using paypal standard before that comes with woocommerce and I recently switched to this plugin. Very nice job.

    Before switching over to your plugin, I could get hold of buyer first and last name as following

    $fname = $order->billing_first_name;
$lname = $order->billing_last_name;

    However now that I am using your plugin, I do not see first and last name being returned. Can you please let me know how can i get hold of this info?

    The only address that PayPal’s system provides to the application is a shipping address. As such, we were simply leaving the billing address out altogether. PayPal Standard uses the regular checkout page, of course, so then it does have that data available.

    We have added a new option into the Express Checkout settings that lets you specify whether or not you’d like to fill in the billing address details with the same info as the shipping address. If you enable this then you’ll be able to pull data like you mentioned without any problem.

    This update has been completed and merged into our dev branch on GitHub already, but we haven’t yet officially released the next update. You can download it early and use, though. It has been tested and is ready to go.
