How to set shipping_preference: 'SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS' to NO_ADDRESS?

[emykka]

Hello. I need help with this, I'm selling digital and I don't need the buyer's address. However, everytime I try to check out I receive this message:

[UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS

I need to change shipping_preference: 'SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS' to NO_ADDRESS 

How can I edit the shipping_preference? Thank you

Any solutions?

In case anyone found this unresolved issue and has the same problem:

The API Documentation seems to be off.

If you provide an Address like this its working:

purchase_units: [{ ........... shipping: { address: { "address_line_1": "<removed>", "address_line_2": "<removed>", "admin_area_2": "San Francisco", "admin_area_1": "CA", "postal_code": "<removed>", "country_code": "US" }, }, }]

Il parametro corretto è:

shipping_preference: 'NO_SHIPPING'

Good day @emykka / @Linovy / @AE00,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

Merchants should be able to handle shipping address details using the "shipping_preference" field in the Orders API request call. 

I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the support of third party eCommerce and pass the "NO_SHIPPING" value under "shipping_preference" in your Create Order API call "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create".
