Paypal question

I have customers who use Paypal whine now and then about having to fill
out the name, address etc. of the IC checkout form before they get sent
to Paypal, where their address may then get changed to what Paypal has
on file for them. Is my Paypal set up wrong or is this by design?

Dave

Both ... by default your order profile will require all the standard items the
same as for a credit card checkout, but if you change the profile then they
will not have to fill out anything at all.

OK thanks for the hint. In my profiles.order I see:


__NAME__ paypalexpress
__COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE__
&fatal = yes
policy_agree=required You must agree to our policies to checkout
email=required
email=email
&set=mv_payment PaypalExpress
&set=psp Paypal
&set=mv_payment_route paypalexpress
&final = yes
&setcheck = payment_method paypalexpress
__END__


And I see that my catalog.cfg has:

ifndef COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE
Variable COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE <<EOV
fname=required
lname=required
address1=required
city=required
country=required
state=multistate
zip=multizip
&or phone_night=phone, phone_day=phone Must have day or evening
phone number
email=required
EOV
endif

So perhaps I could define a COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE_PAYPAL that requires
only a phone number for example, and then change the paypalexpress
profile to look for that instead?

Dave

I would just replace __COMMON_ORDER_PROFILE__ in the paypalexpress
profile with the fields you require in order to follow the KISS principle.
