Handling Shipping Addresses
You can specify several shipping address options that affect the PayPal Review page.
In your SetExpressCheckout request, you can specify the following options:
z Require a confirmed address
z Not display the shipping address on the review page
z Display an alternative address on the review page.
Confirmed Address
A confirmed address is a shipping address that PayPal has established as belonging to the
PayPal account holder. To be protected by PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy, you must require
the shipping address be a confirmed address.
NOTE: Because many buyers prefer to ship to a non-confirmed address (they may, for
example, be shipping a gift to someone), PayPal does not recommend requiring a
confirmed address unless you are selling high-risk merchandise. If you prefer
confirmed addresses be used, then do not set ADDROVERRIDE, as described in
Shipping Address Override.
To require a confirmed address for the shipping address, ensure that the shipping address
matches the address on record with PayPal. You can do this through your account profile, as
described in the Merchant Setup and Administration Guide. The guide is available on the
Documentation page linked to the Library tab on
Developer Central. Alternately, you can set a
flag in the call to SetExpressCheckout as described below:
1. Include the optional REQCONFIRMSHIPPING parameter in the call to
SetExpressCheckout.
2. Set REQCONFIRMSHIPPING to 1.
The following example requires the shipping address be a confirmed address.
NOTE: The value of REQCONFIRMSHIPPING overrides the setting in your Merchant Account
Profile.
