Paypal Payments Pro Required Billing Fields

When paying via Paypal Payments Pro (processing transaction on our website) Address, City, State and Province are all required fields.

However, we have called Paypal directly and they have outlined they only require Name, and card information.

Are we able to make Address, City, State an Zip NOT Required?

Hi Al,

You can comment line 109 in DoDirectPayment and 51-66 in paypal_pro_vars.php in the gateways/paypal_pro directory. It will probably throw some warnings because of lines 55-63 in DoDirectPayment.php, so you can comment those out as well.

Be sure to copy the gateways/paypal_pro folder to uploads/espresso/gateways to prevent your changes from being overwritten during an update.

Thanks, but is there a way to keep the fields there, but simply have them not required?

Hi Al,

You can try removing the class=”required” for lines 52-65 of paypal_pro_vars.php. Please be sure and test this once you have made the changes.

That worked, thank you.
