    Hi. I have an issue, using Paypal for Woocommerce and paypal express, I would like customers to be able to register their info only once, on paypal.
    However, I have to check that they decide upon shipping method to get the shipping calculated before they leave for paypal.

    Is it possible to have a check for this, before the paypal button comes visible?

    The shipping calculations (and tax) would be calculated and displayed on the review page that the user sees after being returned from PayPal. Only then does the application know their shipping address if the user pays through Express Checkout.

    Have you gone that far with your testing? There’s no need to gather shipping up front.

    OK, I have tested, and of course you are right.
    What made me confused, was that I could not get the option “free shipping” to be automatically deselected and visible.
    After setting the shop’s home address as default address, table rate shipping is accepted, and shipping is added by PayPal.

    However, another problem pops up:
    When users is registered in PayPal with national prefix to postal code, they seem to get an error message, which they are unable to fix, like this one I got by mail from PayPal:

    DoExpressCheckoutPayment API call failed.

    Error Code: 10736
    Error Severity Code: Error
    Short Error Message: Shipping Address Invalid City State Postal Code
    Detailed Error Message: A match of the Shipping Address City, State, and Postal Code failed.
    Order ID: 283
    Customer Name: Harry Harding
    Customer Email: [email protected]

    The problem is, that the order is accepted in such a way that the order is registered in woocommerce. However it is not registrered in PayPal, as far as I can see.

    Is there something the plugin could do to handle this, or is this entirely a PayPal problem?

    It sounds like the order is getting saved in WooCommerce as Pending, maybe..?? What is the order status in WC for the failed order?

    Do you have logging enabled for the plugin? I would need to see the raw API request with the address included to see what would be wrong with it.

    I’m going to mark this ticket resolved since the initial issue is good now, but please submit a ticket here and provide the log details so I can help you more directly with the other problem.

    Thanx!
    Is there a logging option for the plugin? Or you mean wordpress logging?
    I have enabled it now.
    So I’ll have to wait until somebody repeats the error. It is not possible to enter the postal code the wrong way with PayPal anymore, but I guess there are many users who are registered with wrong formating of this field from the past.

    The plugin has its own logging that you can enable within the Express Checkout or Pro settings pages.
