[SOLVED] PayPal setup in 1.2 - No Override option in PayPal


Recommended Posts

The Wiki says:
In Profile >> Selling Preferences >> Website Payment Preferences, set:
* In Shipping Calculations, mark the Click here to allow transaction-based shipping values to override the profile shipping settings listed above checkbox.

However, there is no such option (Click here to allow transaction-based shipping values to override...) in my PayPal account. (See screen shot.)

I looked under Profile >> Selling Preferences >> Shipping Calculations, but this forced me to set up shipping options in PayPal (see 2nd screen shot). I set up a free shipping option to see if once I got past the wizard I'd get the option described above in the Wiki, but no such luck (see last screen shot).

I've looked through a bunch of other PayPal selling preferences, but can't find that option. Please advise.

Ok, I'm answering my own question, here's what you need to do:
In PayPal, go to MyAccount >> Profile
Click on Set Up Shipping Calculations under Selling Preferences (If you already have some, it will be called Shipping Calculations)
Click Start
Choose Regions (I used All States & Territories)
Choose Shipping Method Name (I chose Priority)
Choose Shipping Delivery Time (I chose 2 to 3 business days)
Choose Shipping Based On (I chose Total Order Weight)
Set up Shipping Rates table (I entered only 1 line: From 0.01, To and up, Rate 0.0)
Click Continue
Make sure Yes is checked for "Use the shipping fee in the transaction instead of my calculator's settings"

Voila! It now works.

If you go back and edit the Shipping Method, it will look like the attached screen shot.

If you already have Shipping Calculations, you'll probably have to delete all but one, then set up a Free shipping as above.

Hope this saves someone from pulling her hair out. Now if I can just get Google Checkout to send order processing data back to PrestaShop... but that's another topic: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/17558/ :-)
