    Default Virtual product, no PayPal account, signed-in customer

    If a signed-in customer purchases a virtual product only and chooses PayPal as their payment method, when they arrive at the PayPal "Choose a way to pay" page the only fields that are populated on the PayPal guest form are their email address and phone number.

    The PayPal log associated with this sandbox transaction contains

    Code:
    =================================
    
    Mar-28-2012 15:38:02 (1332941882)
    ec-step1-addr_check
    cart contents is virtual and customer is logged in ... therefore options['NOSHIPPING']=1
    =================================
    which, I'm guessing, is the root of the problem.

    Is there any way to get the signed-in customer's address entries populated at PayPal so that they don't have to re-enter all that information again if they choose to use the guest-mode checkout?

    Here are my PayPal express settings in my admin:

    No. The "address" information that is passed to PayPal is ONLY for shipping.
    Specifically, PayPal only offers SHIPPING_STREET, SHIPPING_CITY, SHIPPING_ZIP, etc fields for address information. They DO NOT offer BILLING_STREET, BILLING_STATE, etc.
    Please lobby them to add that capability so we can stop having to field questions about why we can't do what seems so logical.

    Thanks for the update, DrByte. I've made a posting in one of the PayPal forums; we'll see if I can get anywhere.
