Paypal PDN Integration No shipping address for Credit Card Payment
Posted on | November 28, 2009 | No Comments
Default delivery address for Paypal Transactions is the Billing Address(which has to be the credit card holder’s address to prevent triggering fraud checks). Paypal allows user to specify another address when confirming the purchase. The website has already captured a shipping address on the checkout pages. The addresses captured and reflected in paypal’s system and notification email could be different from the ones captured by the website. To prevent the user from overriding the shipping address captured in paypal. Add in no_shipping = 1.
<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_cart” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”no_shipping” value=”1″ />
<input type=”hidden” name=”upload” value=”1″ />
<input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”<?php echo Configure::read(’paypal.paypal_biz’) ?>” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”return” value=”http://<?php echo DOMAIN.$html->url(’/payments/completed/’.$order_id)?>” />
