PAYPAL_ADDRESS overrides MY ADDRESS

[Slava]

HI, I'm using:

PrestaShop 1.5.6.2

Paypal 3.6.5 (Sandbox mode)

 

I created an account with the following:

MY ADDRESS

Test Customer

Main Street

Sallins Kildare

Ireland

12345678

 

Then I made order choosing above address.

 

After order I noticed that the address is changed in:
My Account -> Order history
My Account -> My Addresses

Before I made order the title of the address was MY ADDRESS after ordering PAYPAL_ADDRESS
Also client's name and the name of the country was changed.

also in BO -> Orders -> order which I made -> Delivery address I can see not correct address

It seems that Paypal returns and overrides the data.

Could someone explain what is going on please.

There are a lot of people with this problem. After version 3.6.2 the module paypal can overrride the customer address with the address in Paypal customer account.

 

Its a very big problem!

 

in my case, I estimate shipping charges. But Paypal changes the shipping address and generates different shipping costs.

I am currently having this problem as well, prestashop 1.5.6.2 and paypal module 3.6.5

I get customers complaining daily, this needs to be addressed.

 

The functionality expected is that the ship-to address used should be what is entered on the prestashop store site.

Same problem as well, Prestashop customer address is overwritten with paypal customer address.

 

Any ideas to solve this question?

 

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the problem is still unresolved.

 

I asked developer 202ecommerce here: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/297730-new-version-for-paypal-module-362/

to look at this topic. BTW I'm not sure is it good place to ask about the issue.

I hope that solution will come soon.

I have same problem you describe here, but now i think it works, well i've tested a couple of times and now after paying with paypal module, prestashop maintain address of system, and it's not overridden with paypal address.

 

what i did is change from true to false: /modules/paypal/views/templates/hook/integral_evolution_payment.tpl: <input type="hidden" name="address_override" value="false" /><!-- true -->  

 

i only tested with spanish address, but i suppose that should be work with all. prestashop 1.5.6.0 and paypal 3.6.5

 

Bye!

Thanks for your solution Visible!

Looks like you are using "Website Payments Pro Hosted" option.
I use "Website Payments Standard" option so this part of the form:

<input type="hidden" name="address_override" value="false" />

is not send to my Paypal option.

I think that if your solution is working for you it should work for anyone with "Website Payments Pro Hosted" option.

Solution for "Website Payments Standard"
Comment out:

line 194 -- $address->add();

line 199 -- $address->save();

 

in: modules/paypal/express_checkout/payment.php

        /* Create address */
        if (is_array($address) && isset($address['id_address']))
            $address = new Address($address['id_address']);

        if ((!$address || !$address->id) && $customer->id)
        {//If address does not exists, we create it
            $address = setCustomerAddress($ppec, $customer);
            //$address->add(); // LINE 194 Comment out HERE
        }
        else if($customer->id)
        {//If address exists, we update it with new informations
            $address = setCustomerAddress($ppec, $customer, $address->id);
            //$address->save(); // LINE 199 Comment out HERE
        }

I created 4 addresses:
one German, one Irish, one Polish and one French.
Then I made several orders assigning above addresses and seems to be good. I don't see PAYPAL_ADDRESS in any part of back or front office.

Please note it's not fully tested and I'm not sure that this don't brake any other functionality.

Hi Slava, we are using Standard Payment as well, so it means that in some moment of transaction, the form inside file /modules/paypal/views/templates/hook/integral_evolution_payment.tpl is sent to paypal.

 

I think your purpose is another way to solve this question.

 

Bye!

Hi Slava. Thanks very much for this solution. This was causing an issue for me where the state would be updated and the customer would be charged the wrong amount for shipping. 

 

I am using Prestashop 1.6.0.8 and Paypal Europe version 3.7.2. The line numbers a slightly different but it was easy to find the code blocks in question.

 

Thanks again,

Rhys

This was a mayor pain for us. I edited both files, just in case.

 

Thank you very much!

Is the same procedure working for 3.8 version solving the ssl3 poodle problem?

This is a very serious bug:

 

We have just shipped a large furniture item to the wrong state (at a cost of $160) because PayPal overwrote the customers new address in prestashop. Now I'm out of pocket for that. The customer had their old address in PayPal and new address in Prestashop. They did not see any option in PayPal to change the address.

 

Who supplied the PayPal module - Prestashop or PayPal ?
