PayPal problems - need urgent help

[Guest]

Hi I have a problem with paypal payments. I need to remove the shipping address from paypal processing page.

 

Here is a message I got from paypal support

 

"....Setting the value of "no_shipping" to "1" will tell our system to not ask for a shipping address.

 

I put in an order at http://www.polimexforwarding.com/polimex and looked at the code that is actually being submitted to PayPal by stopping the redirect page load and viewing the source. In that code, the "no_shipping" variable isn't being passed, so the buyers will have the option to include the address or not. If you pass the "no_shipping" variable with a value of "1", it won't prompt them for a shipping address."

 

 

How and where do I add this value? I searched on internet and everyone is pointing to paypal_ipn.php, but I don't have that file in my store. I found paypal.php and ipn.php.

 

 

Thanks for any help in advance

are you using default paypal module of OSC or installed any module to accept paypal payments?

[Guest]

It came with the template, so I assume its a default paypal module. I did not add any paypal modules

[kagg]

It does not help in understanding the paypal module you are using because you are using a customized shop. can you post the module file you are using for paypal?

/includes/modules/paymnets/

in this file i found:

 

if(MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_SHIPPING_ALLOWED == 'No' ) $paypal_fields .= tep_draw_hidden_field('no_shipping', '1' );

 

 

but according to paypal support its not being passed to paypal.

This is difficult to guess the reason of not passing "no_shipping" to paypal.

 

You can try removing the condition in paypal.php:

 

Replace the line:

 

if(MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPAL_SHIPPING_ALLOWED == 'No' ) $paypal_fields .= tep_draw_hidden_field('no_shipping', '1' );

 

With:

 

$paypal_fields .= tep_draw_hidden_field('no_shipping', '1' );

 

Make a backup of your file before modifications.
