PayPal allows me to create different Shipping Methods so I can charge different amounts to ship to different sets of US states, e.g., eastern and western. How can I code my PayNow button to select the correct Shipping Method for a given transaction?

Shipping rates are automatically calculated using the shipping methods you set in your PayPal account profile against the info your customer provides at checkout. Its only when you do not want to use your shipping calculator profiles, that the default shipping methods can be overridden. Click "Use specific amount" option when editing a button and then enter the amount to charge for shipping in the button itself.
So for example, let's say I am making a payment to you and I enter my billing/shipping address that my state is MA or my confirmed address in my PayPal account is in MA, your calculator should be able to charge me shipping to MA automatically and according to your shipping methods in your PayPal account profile.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

I'm not sure how to indicate "Solved" but this does, indeed, answer my question, i.e., the appropriate Shipping Method/Calculation will be selected by PayPal based on the shipping address but can be overridden by a "shipping=" setting in my button code, which, according to instructions found elsewhere, requires that I set the Shipping Method to allow override.
Thanks.
