Hi Folks,
I’m integrating PayPal express. But I remember few years ago that you could request shipping info after the transaction.
What I was hoping to do was a slick fast checkout in about 3 clicks:
- Add items to their cart
- Click checkout with PayPal
- Pay without them having to fill any of their details on my site.
So literally in three clicks they have paid.
But I can't find anything like this in the docs. It seems regardless the customer needs to fill out the shipping address.
Is there a PayPal product that allows this I don't know about? It would make a really slick ecommerce experience.
Thanks in advance. Appreciate any guidance.

Yep, thats Express Checkout Shortcut. The buyers shipping details are pulled from the PayPal side and returned in the GetEC and DoEC calls:
