MANDATORY PARAMETERS FOR BILLING AND SHIPPING ADDRESSES

When making PayPal transactions, merchants must ask for a billing and a shipping address.

• The shipping address will only be sent to PayPal provided that a zip code, a city and a country have all been entered.

Thus, all three zipcode/city/country or shipto_zipcode/shipto_city/shipto_country parameters MUST BE SPECIFIED when creating orders.

Please note: when a shipping address is entered, PayPal checks the specified country.

If the country is on the list below, the merchant must ABSOLUTELY fill in the state or shipto_state parameter.

LIST OF COUNTRIES WITH STATES OR PROVINCES:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/state_codes/

Besides, the zip code and the city must be consistent with the specified state

(e.g.: state → TX, city → Houston, zipcode → 77056).

Otherwise, an error will be returned by PayPal.

• For the billing address, the city/shipto_city parameter is also mandatory.

Therefore, the billing address will only be sent to PayPal provided that a zip code, a city and a country have all been entered.
