shipping/delivery address for paypal direct payment

[Guest krypton1]

Hi Guys,

For those of you using paypal payment pro (aka paypal direct payment), you might have noticed that it is annoying that the shipping address info is not passed to paypal. Lots of people like to go to their paypal accounts and there is a link that says "ship" that already has the address info filled in. Then they can quickly print a USPS (or other) shipping label and be on their way. For some reason the standard paypal direct payment module doesn't include the shipping address info when the data is sent to paypal. This mod fixes that.

By the way, you have Insurrectus to thank for this mod, since he paid good money for it! The rest of you are getting it for free.

Open your modules\gateway\DirectPayment\form.inc.php file

Around line 124, after this:

	if(($itemAmount + $taxAmount + $shippingAmount) == $orderAmount) {

		$itemTotal =& Services_PayPal::getType('BasicAmountType');

		$itemTotal->setval(number_format($itemAmount, 2));

		$itemTotal->setattr('currencyID', $currencyID); // USD

		$pdt->setItemTotal($itemTotal);

		

		$taxTotal =& Services_PayPal::getType('BasicAmountType');

		$taxTotal->setval(number_format($taxAmount, 2));

		$taxTotal->setattr('currencyID', $currencyID); // USD

		$pdt->setTaxTotal($taxTotal);

		

		$shippingTotal =& Services_PayPal::getType('BasicAmountType');

		$shippingTotal->setval(number_format($shippingAmount, 2));

		$shippingTotal->setattr('currencyID', $currencyID); // USD

		$pdt->setShippingTotal($shippingTotal);

	}

add this in (make sure it is AFTER the curly brace above)

	//START - adding info for shipping address

	$shipAddress =& Services_PayPal::getType('AddressType');

	$shipAddress->setName($basket['delInf']['firstName']." ".$basket['delInf']['lastName']);

	$shipAddress->setStreet1($basket['delInf']['add_1']);

	$shipAddress->setStreet2($basket['delInf']['add_2']);

	$shipAddress->setCityName($basket['delInf']['town']);

	$shipAddress->setStateOrProvince($basket['delInf']['county']);

	$shipAddress->setCountry(countryIso($basket['delInf']['country']));

	$shipAddress->setPostalCode($basket['delInf']['postcode']);

	$pdt->setShipToAddress($shipAddress);

	//END - adding info for shipping address

It looks simple, but it took a while to get it right.

krypton1 nice work!

I just installed and tested this mod on my site and it worked perfectly!

Actually I think this mod should be included in the next CubeCart update. This is really an important feature of PayPal that has been left out of the PayPal Direct mod.

Just an update.

I changed the first code from:

	//START - adding info for shipping address

	$shipAddress =& Services_PayPal::getType('AddressType');

	$shipAddress->setName($basket['delInf']['firstName']." ".$basket['delInf']['lastName']);

	$shipAddress->setStreet1($basket['delInf']['add_1']);

	$shipAddress->setStreet2($basket['delInf']['add_2']);

	$shipAddress->setCityName($basket['delInf']['town']);

	$shipAddress->setStateOrProvince($basket['delInf']['county']);

	$shipAddress->setCountry(countryIso($basket['delInf']['country']));

	$shipAddress->setPostalCode($basket['delInf']['postcode']);

	$pdt->setShipToAddress($shipAddress);

	//END - adding info for shipping address

TO

	// *************** S T A R T *******************	

	// * This will change the delivery State/County*

	// * from whatever to either its abbreviation  *

	// * or XX which PayPal will accept.		   *

	// *********************************************

	

	$newst = $basket['delInf']['county'];



	// look up county for shipping address

	$newLookup = $db->select("SELECT abbrev FROM `".$glob['dbprefix']."CubeCart_iso_counties` WHERE `name` LIKE '".$newst."'");

	

	if(strlen($basket['delInf']['county'])==2){

		$newst = strtoupper($basket['delInf']['county']);

	} elseif($newLookup == TRUE) {

		$newst = $newLookup[0]['abbrev'];

	} else {

		$newst = "XX";

	}



	//START - adding info for shipping address

		$shipAddress =& Services_PayPal::getType('AddressType');

		$shipAddress->setName($basket['delInf']['firstName']." ".$basket['delInf']['lastName']);

		$shipAddress->setStreet1($basket['delInf']['add_1']);

		$shipAddress->setStreet2($basket['delInf']['add_2']);

		$shipAddress->setCityName($basket['delInf']['town']);

		$shipAddress->setStateOrProvince($newst);

		$shipAddress->setCountry(countryIso($basket['delInf']['country']));

		$shipAddress->setPostalCode($basket['delInf']['postcode']);

		$pdt->setShipToAddress($shipAddress);

	//END - adding info for shipping address

PayPal Direct was having a problem with non-abbreviated County/State names, and would fail the shipping address during the transaction. To get around this, now if the customers shipping state is 'New Jersey', this will automatically abbreviate to 'NJ' which passes through PayPal fine. If the shipping state is already 'NJ', it will leave it alone. And finally if it's something that is not identifiable on the iso_counties database table, it will change it to 'XX' which also passes PayPal's processing okay.

Nice solution Tim!

Also, for anyone trying to enforce that their customers use a two letter state code when they register, this solution by funkelectic may be of some value:

I think using that with Tim's code should solve 99.99% of cases.

Hi, I use Paypal Standard IPN, and the address info WAS being passed thru with no problem until a few days ago. It seems to be random, but now, 75% or so of my orders do not pass the shipping addresses...

Any ideas?

TIA,

Rick
