PrestaShop Tips - Wrong shipping address bug in standard Paypal PrestaShop paypal module

If you are PrestaShop store owner and are using standard PrestaShop Paypal payment module, please note that there is a bug if your choose different billing address and shipping address.

The Problem

If you customer registered two addresses at your PrestShop store and choose to use different address at checkout, the standard prestaShop Paypal will pass billing address(invoice address) as shipping address (delivery address). Your customer will be confused when he/she is redirected to Paypal, because at Paypal payment page, it will display the "billing" address as shipping address.

See attached screen for detail.





This is a minor bug. It will confuse customer.
But if you also use Paypal to print shipping label, then it is a critical issue.

This bug appears in most of the standard Paypal module such as 1.6/1.7/2.0

Solutions

If you know how how to code PHP, you can fix it in file redirect.php by replacing id_address_invoice with id_address_delivery.

 
$address = new Address(intval($cart->id_address_invoice));
