PayPal Express Checkout: remove shipping option

[RdM2016]

Heya everyone.

I'm experiencing a problem with paypal express checkout.

I'm implementing the paypal express checkout in my website page and i started from the demo that i fond here:  (https://demo.paypal.com/us/demo/home).

The problem is that i'd like to use paypal only for the payment: i dont need and i dont want my customers to choose a shipping address but i cant find a way to remove the option.

Can anyone help me? Many Thanks 🙂

Hi,

you can suppress the shipping address using the noshipping parameter  see here for more details:

Hi, my product is digital type so there is no shipping option needed. I'm using the latest PayPal Express Checkout Integration Client Side REST:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/express-checkout/integration-jsv4/ which doesnt provide method to hide the address. The above mentioned already deprecated. Please Help.

Hi,

I have integrated Express Checkout with Shopify. I do not know how to customize the code.

Can you please direct me the setting/link (or URL) where I can see the API calls and customize them?

Since Shopify is in Ruby...JavaScript should be OK.  There are good articles on Rails and JQuery integragtion, like JQuery Rails over on Github..

so here is my code for an express checkout

paypal.Buttons({

style: {
layout: 'horizontal',
color: 'gold',
shape: 'pill',
label: 'checkout',
size: 'responsive',
tagline: 'true',
},
// Set up the transaction
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
$('#paypalmsg').hide();
$('#transmsg').show();
$('#transmsg').html('<b>'+'WAITING ON AUTHORIZATION...'+'</b>');
$('#chkoutmsg').hide()
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [{
description: 'GnG Order',
amount: {
value: cartTotal
}
}],
application_context: {
shipping_preference: 'NO_SHIPPING'
}

});
},
/* onClick: function() { */

/* },*/

// Finalize the transaction
onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.get().then(function(orderDetails) {
// Show a success message to the buyer
$('#transmsg').html('<b>' + 'AUTHORIZED...' + '</b>');
$('#transmsg').append('<br>'+'Transaction completed by: ' + orderDetails.payer.name.given_name +' '+ orderDetails.payer.name.surname + '<br>' + "Order Id: " + orderDetails.id + '<br>' + 'Status: ' + orderDetails.status+'!' + '<br>'+ 'Thank You For Your Order'+ '<br>');
if (orderDetails.status === "APPROVED") {
window.setTimeout(function() {}, 500)
$('#transmsg').append('<b>' + 'Sending Order...Please Wait' + '</b>'+'<br>');
var getId = '#'+ $('span:contains("Market")').attr('id');
var getmrktDiv = '#'+ $(getId).offsetParent().attr('id');
var mrktchkId = '#'+ $(getmrktDiv).closest(getmrktDiv).find(".chkbox").attr('id');
var mrktpriceId = '#'+ $(getmrktDiv).closest(getmrktDiv).find(".price").attr('id');
var chkboxId = "#chk6";
var hidpriceId = "#pricef";
var marketLocation = $(mrktchkId);

if (marketLocation.length > 0 ) {
var checked = $(mrktchkId).prop('checked');
if (!checked) {
var storedVal = $(mrktpriceId).val();
if ($(mrktpriceId+':not([data-val])')) {
$(mrktpriceId).attr("data-val", storedVal);
}
$(mrktpriceId).val("");
}
}

$('#transid').val(orderDetails.id);
$('#orderstat').val(orderDetails.status);
$('#orderform').submit();
}
});

if (details.error === 'INSTRUMENT_DECLINED') {
$('#transmsg').html('<b>' + 'TRANSACTION WAS DECLINED'+'</b>');
$('#transmsg').fadeIn('slow').delay(3000).fadeOut('slow', function() {
$('#paypalmsg').show();
$('#chkoutmsg').show();
$('#transmsg').empty();
});

return actions.restart();
};
},

onCancel: function(data) {
$('#transmsg').html('<b>' + 'YOUR TRANSACTION WAS CANCELLED' + '</b>');
$('#transmsg').fadeIn('slow').delay(3000).fadeOut('slow', function() {
$('#paypalmsg').show();
$('#chkoutmsg').show();
$('#transmsg').empty();
});
}

}).render('#paypal-button-container');

Hope this helps ya
