HikaShop PayPal plugin truncates 'state' was created by tidosho

Hi there:

I have noticed during testing that when my test customer has a billing address_state of 'Oxfordshire' the HS PayPal plugin actually sends a 3-letter code to PayPal, in this case 'OXF'. I assume this is what PayPal expects, but when PayPal shows the billing address to the customer they will see the 3-letter code ... which they might not expect. Has anyone encountered problems with this?

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

If you want to, you can remove the state from the PayPal form by removing the line:

Code:

$vars["state"]=@$order->cart->$address_type->address_state->zone_code_3;

in the file plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal/paypal.php

However, that field is required to US addresses and it has to be the code of the state not the name based on the paypal API documentation. So if you remove it and have US citizens buying on your website, it will probably generate an error on PayPal website if you remove the state.
If you only sell in the UK, that won't be a problem though.
