Shipping address from PayPal and not even ask for it from customer

Apologies if this should be in the PayPal forum. I thought it might also apply to other payment processors so I put it in this forum.

I want my customers to be able to purchase products quickly and easily. I'm using PayPal and since they already have their addresses stored within PayPal, is there a way for me to get their addresses from PayPal (so I can ship the product) and not have to ask them for it?

Thank you :smile:

If you use PayPal Express Checkout, then it will do exactly that.
You'll need the latest version of Zen Cart.

Wow, that was fast, thank you.
I'm on 1.3.9g

Do I then turn off PayPal Website Payments Standard - IPN ?
Ah, found it here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=28
And going through the configuration it says I have to do that.

So Standard - IPN is essentially deprecated in favor of Express Checkout. I'll start implementing :)

Thank you Dr. Byte!
