[Done 1.3.9b] Paypal IPN ADDRESS OVERRIDE ALERT

[paul3648]

This is on a new 1.39 install. Paypal IPN is set to:

Address Override = 1
Shipping Address Requirements = 1

So the customer cannot change his address at Paypal, and is not asked to change it.

On the customer's Account History list, these transactions read:

**** ADDRESS OVERRIDE ALERT!!! **** CHECK PAYPAL ORDER DETAILS FOR ACTUAL ADDRESS SELECTED BY CUSTOMER!!

I don't think the customer should see this alert, and it is not needed, since the customer can't change his address at PayPal.

That message appears because you've given the customer the ability to select an address on the PayPal side for that transaction by setting Address Override = 1. In that case Zen Cart has no way of knowing whether the customer has changed the address on the PayPal side or not. Hence the BIG BOLD WARNING to the administrator about the situation.

OK I see that setting Address Override = 0 makes that notice go away, but when Address Override = 1 the notice can be seen by the customer on his order history page.

That message appears because you've given the customer the ability to select an address on the PayPal side for that transaction by setting Address Override = 1.

But the other setting Shipping Address Requirements = 1 means that he can't select an address on the PayPal side. The two settings seem to contradict each other, but I can see the logic if I look closely...

But I still think the customer doesn't want to see that big bold warning - might make him nervous.

That comment is hidden in v1.3.9b and newer.
