PayPal Express on 1.3.7 Russian problems!

[explorer1979]

Hi all,

When “Russia” customers using paypal express to pay, the country in the address will be changed to “US” automatically.

I heard that it is the problem of zencart (maybe country ISO code problem) with paypal module.

It is only apply to Russia address.

Anyone know what is wrong?

I am using 1.3.7 Full version.

Thank you very much.

I am using 1.3.7 Full version.

There were numerous fixes and improvements to the v1.3.7 PayPal code. If you're not going to upgrade to v1.3.8a or newer, then you should at least patch your PayPal code using the latest update from here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56216

This is still a problem in latest Zen Cart 1.3.8, also fort other countries

Even when the right address is showing up right at PayPal, it becomes a US address after returning to shop. This allso causes tax issues for shop owners.

Diging further into the dirt ... trying to figure it out ...

Here's the workaround:
/includes/modules/payment/paypalwpp.php
line 2316 (v1.3.8a)
Change 'title' to 'iso_code_2', as shown:

    $sql = $db->bindVars($sql, ':countryId', $address_question_arr['country']['title'], 'string');

becomes

    $sql = $db->bindVars($sql, ':countryId', $address_question_arr['country']['iso_code_2'], 'string');

THIS FIX IS INCLUDED IN v1.3.9a and newer.
