Title: Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish
Post by: milemaker on October 24, 2011, 11:26:40 AM

paypal wont accept credit card payments from shoppers overseas. (if billing and shipping addresses are different that is.)

paypal's message: "Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to. At this time, we are unable to process your request. Please return to.."

seems like there was solution for VM 1.1.x: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=69991.msg232724#msg232724 but i can't find similar settings in VM 1.9.8.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Yes it will be in the next release.

But if you can check that my fix is correct that will be great:
in file plugins/vmpayment/paypal.php

you had that code (around line 230)

Code Select

	    "country" => ShopFunctions::getCountryByID($usrST['virtuemart_country_id'], 'country_3_code'),

replace it by

Code Select

	    "country" => ShopFunctions::getCountryByID($usrBT['virtuemart_country_id'], 'country_3_code'),

the problem was on $usrST that should be replaced by $usrBT

Please give me feed back :)

Any new information on this error?

I notice this line:

"address_override" => "1", // 0 ?? Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to

Should this be set to 0?

To Update this thread:

It looks like if you encounter this error and the above fix by alatak is present you can try setting "address_override" => "1", to "address_override" => "0",

I made this change and orders that had this error are now processing.

Hi,
In the RC3 versionI do not send this paramter anymore. Paypal takes the default value=0.
It should work without doing any fix.

Hi,

In Paypal configuration, you have 2 parameters:
Let buyers override their PayPal addresses? : it corresponds to the Paypal parameter "address_override"

Prompt buyers for a shipping address: corresponds to "no_shipping"

You don't need to change the code :)
