Good day @bazcc,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

To resolve the issue, please follow the below detailed steps & instructions based on your website integration.

1. For REST API integration : You can pass value "NO_SHIPPING" to disable shipping address during checkout.

For digital goods, the payment API request call should be correct value under "Shipping_Preference" field.

shipping_preference : The location from which the shipping address is derived. The possible values are:

• GET_FROM_FILE. Get the customer-provided shipping address on the PayPal site.
• NO_SHIPPING. Redacts the shipping address from the PayPal site. Recommended for digital goods.
• SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS. Get the merchant-provided address. The customer cannot change this address on the PayPal site. If merchant does not pass an address, customer can choose the address on PayPal pages.

Default: GET_FROM_FILE.

2. For NVP API integration, pass the "no_shipping" as "1"  in your SetExpressCheckoutRequest API call to disable shipping address during checkout.

NOSHIPPING  : Determines whether PayPal displays shipping address fields on the PayPal pages. For digital goods, this field is required, and you must set it to 1. 

Value is:
•    0 — PayPal displays the shipping address on the PayPal pages. But do not require one.
•    1 — PayPal does not display shipping address fields and removes shipping information from the transaction.
•    2 — If you do not pass the shipping address, PayPal obtains it from the buyer's account profile. require one.

3. For "PayPal Payments Standard" legacy button integration, pass the "no_shipping" as "1" to disable shipping address during checkout.

no_shipping

Do not prompt buyers for a shipping address. Valid value is: 0. Prompt for an address, but do not require one. 1. Do not prompt for an address. 2. Prompt for an address and require one.

I currently have this code on my  website :

So where do i tell the system not to ask for a shipping addresss ?

<div id="smart-button-container">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div id="paypal-button-container"></div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=AfUXj3KSOkPmcC40IuzhZE1_jJXhEJ_faXlyTOHKU7GDcBO9VwhKdJAGpbdi..." data-sdk-integration-source="button-factory"></script>
<script>
function initPayPalButton() {
paypal.Buttons({
style: {
shape: 'rect',
color: 'gold',
layout: 'vertical',
label: 'paypal',

},

createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{"description":"Software","amount":{"currency_code":"USD","value":6.95}}]
});
},

onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(orderData) {

// Full available details
console.log('Capture result', orderData, JSON.stringify(orderData, null, 2));

// Show a success message within this page, e.g.
const element = document.getElementById('paypal-button-container');
element.innerHTML = '';
element.innerHTML = '<h3>Thank you for your payment!</h3>';

// Or go to another URL: actions.redirect('thank_you.html');

});
},

onError: function(err) {
console.log(err);
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
}
initPayPalButton();
</script>
