Suppress shipping address during Express Checkout

Hi and thanks in advance for your assistance.

 

I'm setting my PP account to receive payments from my website with Wordpress plugin using API keys.

As my business is based on hospitality I don't need to ask for a shipping address to my customers for their reservations.

 

Is there any way I can suppress the shipping address fields during the payment checkout process?

Yep, but it needs to be done at an API level, so if you're using a plugin you'll need to speak with the plugin creators/support to understand how to configure the plugin, 

 

Essentially, you need to pass the "noshipping" = 1 in the API call.

If I understood correctly NVP/SOAP API has been deprecated, or maybe I didn't get how to set up my configuration as the portal seems inactive.

 

I think that new way to config checkout flow is Webhook that for PayPal account registered in Italy is only available as sandbox so far, is that correct?

 

Thanks.

Hi, the portal you refer to is the one to create NVP/SOAP Apps, the AdaptivePayments one, that has been deprecated since December 1st 2017 so no new AdaptivePayments Apps can be submitted since the cut off date.

 

NVP classic APIs are not deprecated and webhooks are available in Italy as well for live and sandbox environments.

 

Which API/checkout configuration you need to set up exactly?
