I tried both, costumer and shipping address, but without any effect.

After 2 phone calls and 1 mail to the technical support, a paypal call center agent literally told me that their programmers are "sloppy" and that paypal needs usually "very, very long" to solve problems. Wow. In the meantime, I found some other weird behaviors of paypal. For example, it may happen that paypal keeps charging taxes (during payment on the paypal-site itsself), even when you change the shipping address to a non-tax-state. Another issue is the shipping costs. Even when the shipping fee is calculated correctly in Hikashop and also transferred correctly to paypal, you get an additional paypal-message after login which says "Shipping - Standard - 0 EUR (see attached image) - and there is definitely no option in paypal´s account settings where you can deactivate it. This is misleading for costumers and doesn´t make a very trustworthy impression of a professional online shop. To be clear, these issues are NOT hikashop´s fault. At this time, paypal seems to be a complete mess (they even messed up the tech support mail correspondence, but that´s another story). Anyway, I hope there will be any statement by paypal soon, I will keep you updated about this.

Thank you, Christoph")* Hi there, I finally got an answer of paypal. they still don´t have an solution for the address transfer problem, but they provided me with a solution concering the doubled shipping cost display, which I described in my last post. Their explaination: The data which is sent from Hikashop to Paypal looks like this: --- &test_ipn=0 &shipping=0 &no_shipping=2 &no_note= &charset=utf-8 &rm=2&bn=HikariSoftware_Cart_WPS &lc=AT &item_name_1=Debussy%2c%20Reger%2c%20Sch%c3%b6nberg%2c%20Webern%20%28CD%29 &item_number_1=10%20865&amount_1=14.23&quantity_1=1 &item_name_2=Shipping&amount_2=6 &quantity_2=1&tax_cart=2.02 &paymentaction=authorization &flow=OneX%3a%3aStandardFlowOneX&return_cmd=_flow-ret&SHIPPING_AND_TAX=1&&PDT=true &&AutoReturn=true&&wa_type=CartUpload& --- This means, that the shipping cost are treated as an additional cart item in Hikashop: --- &item_name_2=Shipping&amount_2=6 --- As the paypal support says, the problem is that the shipping cost has the wrong format in Hikashop. Can that be true? - How to solve this?

The format is not "wrong". It's done like that on purpose because the shipping variable of the PayPal API doesn't allow the plugin to properly transfer the shipping fee. And in any case, that's not a problem for us, or anyone else using HikaShop, so it can't be coming from that. Everyone would have the problem if that was the case. No, the problem is with the PayPal account. The extra taxes and shipping fees are usually added by PayPal due to settings in your PayPal account. Here is a tutorial on how to configure the taxes and shipping fees on your PayPal account: [ westwoodva.com/blog/set-taxes-shipping/](http://westwoodva.com/blog/set-taxes-shipping/) So I would recommend checking on that.

Considering the fact that paypal has done a few programming changes by the end of march, I think you should at least consider to control if there are any adaptions required in Hikashop to make everything work properly again.

Thank you, Christoph")* Hi, I already answered you but you ignored my reply: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/8...l-plugin.html#270091](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/890302-address-not-transferred-to-hikashop-paypal-plugin.html#270091) There, I told you what you should check precisely with a link which explains where to find the settings in the PayPal merchant interface. You didn't say anything about that in your previous message but just gave a copy of an answer of PayPal which isn't related to your problem and thus I replied to that answer from PayPal. I didn't say it was PayPal's fault. I said that I think it is a problem of the settings of your PayPal merchant account. And we did consider PayPal's changes. We actually worked hard on that in April. Here is a thread about that : [ www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/8...re.html?limitstart=0](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/payment-methods/889629-paypal-dont-work-anymore.html?limitstart=0) However, the people who had a problem with the changes (a small number compared with all the merchants using the plugin) had an issue because the address they used as a customer was not valid and that they had configured the plugin to send the address to PayPal, and it completely blocked the PayPal payment page. That doesn't sound like what you're describing and I don't see how it could be linked to your issue of having shipping and tax fees added by PayPal on top of the fees you already have. You're blaming us, but we tried to provide helpful answers while we don't have access to the settings or logs of your PayPal account which would allow us to understand why you have that exactly and to tell you what to do; while PayPal support has access to all of that but only gave you generic answers without really trying to understand your problem.

Thank you, Christoph")* Dear Nicolas, Thanks for your answer and sorry for the misunderstanding. Several problems with paypal are getting mixed up here: 1. Address not transferred to paypal: This is still not solved. I tried each und every possible settings combination within Hikashop, but adresses are not transferred to paypal for the checkout process. Paypal answered to this problem, that they did a few changes by the end of March 2017 and that the problem must be on Hikashop´s side. That´s all I know about that. 2. Doubled display of the shipping cost: Yes, you provided me with a link on how to setup taxes and shipping in paypal, but that is not the point of the problem. As paypal described to me, the problem is that Hikashop transfers the calculated shipping costs as "normal" cart items to paypal and not as a specific shipping cost variable. Paypal cannot detect and recognize these costs as shipping costs, that´s why it adds shipping costs again. (In paypal you cannot deactivate the shipping cost, you can only set them to 0). You said it has something to do with the paypal API, and paypal says it has something to do with Hikashop. So, I don´t have a clue whose fault it is. Maybe it is my webhost?

And if you need to create a completely new paypal account, the registration fields are empty at all. How to solve this? Thank you, Christoph")* Hi, Thanks. That's clear now. The transfer of the address is handled by the setting "Customer address" in the payment method. If that setting is set to "shipping address" or "billing address", the PayPal plugin will send the address of the customer to PayPal. If it's set to no, it won't send it. The "address override" and "no shipping" settings below allow you to ask PayPal to use that address on the PayPal payment without asking the customer his address again on the PayPal interface or not use the address at all and use instead the address of the user in the PayPal account. If the address used is the one sent by HikaShop, since April, PayPal verifies that the address you send is valid, which wasn't the case before. So just check these three settings and configure them the way you need it and it should work. In your case, I think that you want to make sure that "Customer address" is activated and set the "no shipping" to yes so that the shipping address is not asked to the customer during the PayPal payment since you already ask it on your checkout, and that should also remove the shipping cost from PayPal. Also, as I said before, please check that you didn't configure any shipping cost in your PayPal merchant account. It's possible that the shipping fee of 0 could come from a shipping cost of 0 configured in the merchant account.

Concering the problem with the doubled shipping cost, it seems to work now. There are no more doubled shipping costs displayed twice. I think the problem was a wrong/right setting and/or a cache problem. Anyway. The Adresses are still not transferred from Hikashop to Paypal (which is clearly the smaller, but not very user-friendly problem). And I still have no idea what it could be. I tried on several browsers and devices, I tried with different settings and different adresses, but you always have to enter your data again on paypal. Paypal denies to have anything wrong with their checkout page. (I consider to use paypal express checkout instead of paypal standard, but there again (as far as I have seen in the forum), it is problematic with taxes.) Maybe some other users are around who have the same problem? - If not, it might stay a mysterious problem within my online shop. Thanks anyway!

Thank you, Christoph")* Hi, If the setting "Customer address" is activated, HikaShop sends the customer address. There is no way around that. So that means that PayPal is not using it even though the data is here. We can't help with that unfortunately. It actually doesn't matter much since you already have the address on your website in the order and that's what is useful normally. Some payment gateways even don't have any possibility to send them the address data since it's normally not useful. It can be used in some cases for Fraud detection, but that's about it.

At first PayPal wasn't accepting the address for shipping. I had the "Customer Address" set to Billing Address. But that doesn't work because PayPal does not allow shop owners to see a customer's billing address, so the shipping address will show up empty. I set "Customer Address" to Shipping Address, which makes more sense anyway, and that worked. However I was now getting an extra shipping charge when I was already charging for shipping on the website. The solution was to remove all shipping options from my PayPal account. Under "Profile and Settings" go to "My Selling Tools" and "Shipping Calculations". Remove any shipping calculations here. I had added USPS Standard Domestic because that was how I was going to ship. But this told PayPal to add a shipping cost because it did not receive a shipping cost from HikaShop. The shipping cost in HikaShop comes through to PayPal as another item purchased, not as a shipping fee. So if I purchases one item from my website, which includes shipping, PayPal sees that as I purchased TWO items, and tallies a shipping fee for two items. I only added this to try to help explain the solution for others with this problem, and there are others with this problem. Hope this helps.

It does come with a larger problem than mentioned here. If the address does NOT transfer to paypal(and it does not), then paypal offers no seller protection for that transaction. Meaning if the customer claims fraud, you have no recourse since an address was not verified. I just learned this yesterday for 9 transactions we lost all $$. Older topic but wondering if a change has been made the past year. I did originally have it NOT to send an address but even changing the settings to billing still fails.

On that page, click on the "stop" button of your browser to stop the redirection. Then, with the developer tools of your browser, look at the HTML around that text and you'll see a form with all the variables sent by the payment plugin to the payment gateway.
