GEEZ! Where do you guys get your misinformation from?

We have two times send orders to the wrong shipping address now recently, because paypal and opencart address are different. And yes, we have to ship to paypal address, to not get into problems with Paypal.

$order_info['payment_

$order_info['shipping_

That will pass the opencart shipping address. But keep in mind this quick fix only works if shipping is always required. A more robust fix is needed for both ways.

First start saying it correctly.
"How do we send the opencart SHIPPING address to paypal".. as the billing address IS already being sent.

The answer for 151+ is
1. EDIT: catalog/controller/payment/pp_standard.php

2. FIND:

Code: Select all

$order_info['payment_

3. REPLACE WITH:

Code: Select all

$order_info['shipping_

That will pass the opencart shipping address. But keep in mind this quick fix only works if shipping is always required. A more robust fix is needed for both ways.

Still you may run into issues.
Paypal offers an "address_override" flag that lets you prevent the customer from changing their address. But paypal's handling of address errors is shit and they throw a cryptic message that makes it sound like opencart sent bad parameters and offers no option of address correction. So that setting cannot be used reliably. That means the customer can still change his address when he gets to paypal if he wants.

So issues with addresses can still arise, and there is nothing we can do about it until paypal improves their standard system... and that hasn't changed in almost 10years

I would like to do this so the shipping address put into the cart is the same on they get shipped to since I only ship to validated addresses and don't want to have the possibility of two different addresses.

EDIT: Also if I click the "I don't have a paypal account" it then shows me the page to use a credit/debit card and there it only shows the first and last name - no address info so that is why the paypal error of not being in the right format.

For phone try adding to pp_standard.php:

Code: Select all

				$phone = preg_replace("/[^0-9.]/", "", html_entity_decode($order_info['telephone'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'));
				$this->data['night_phone_a'] = substr($phone, 0, 3));
				$this->data['night_phone_b'] = substr($phone, 3, 3);
				$this->data['night_phone_c'] = substr($phone, 6);

	$data['currency_code'] = $order_info['currency_code'];
			$data['first_name'] = html_entity_decode($order_info['payment_firstname'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
			$data['last_name'] = html_entity_decode($order_info['payment_lastname'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
