Issue with paypal checkout

Hi @mobi5965,

This issue is present in the latest version 2.0 and has been resolved for the upcoming update 2.0.1. To work around it, you could either downgrade to version 1.9.5 or install the 2.0.1 pre-release version from here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-paypal-payments/releases
Alternatively, setting the Default customer location in the General WooCommerce settings to anything other than No location by default should prevent the error.
I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Niklas

Our store already have set Default customer location to Store country/region, means this is not going to help, but I have downgraded the plugin to 1.9.5 and now its working.

I have been struggling with this error for a couple weeks. It seems to only affect non-logged in users who have not entered any address data in the fields previously. It is especially consistent if users want to ship to a different address than billing.

Divi 4.19.2, WP 6.1.1

Applicable WooCommerce Settings:
Default customer location set to Shop location/region
Shipping destination set to Default to customer billing address
Disabled ability to create account at checkout because of “Password field required error” (this may be a separate issue but I am not certain)

I first tried rolling back to 1.95 and that did not fix the issues of the "Hosted fields payment is already in progress" error.

Against my better judgement, I disabled the plugin and installed 2.0.1 from the github link above.

It will now allow payments to go through, but not until after it directs users to the top of the page, displays the “Hosted fields payment is already in progress” error, then after a moment, the error disappears, and THEN after a few more seconds (long enough for the unsuspecting user to be very confused and assume it isn’t working). All the while, the processing indicator is back at the bottom of the page.

This feels very much like a workaround and not a solution. What are the chances this is still being improved for the next version?

Hi, v2.0 is working fine in Chrome but failing in Safari (Desktop), error saying something like “An error occured”.

I downgraded to 1.9.5, Firefox is working well, but now Safari is displaying this error “MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS The shipping address is required when shipping_preference=SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS.”

Same with the 2.0.1 RC1 version, Safari is not working as well as Firefox

This is debug log:

Hi @mobi5965,

The error you reported should be resolved now in the latest update 2.0.1 which has been released yesterday. So I will mark this thread resolved for now.

@k8peterson & @xbaeza The error Hosted fields payment is already in progress is an unrelated to the one reported in this thread and is not expected to be resolved in version 2.0.1.
A potential workaround that should stop the error from preventing payments can be found here. But I suggest creating a new thread for yourself if any questions remain.
Thanks!

Kind regards,
Niklas
