[osCmax V2.0.25] PayPal orders are missing the shipping address and shipping charges.

[Shortbus]

The two most recent paypal orders have not included a shipping address nor were the shipping charges added to the order. I use the standard paypal payment module. I've received five paypal payments since migrating to osCMax. The first three worked as expected and the most recent two are missing the shipping address and shipping charges.

Any ideas?

I've narrowed this down to customers that chose the "purchase without account" option. I tested with three different electronic payment types: My merchant credit card processor, PayPal Website Payments Standard and PayPal IPN v2.4 (which is labeled as Credit/Debit Card (via PayPal)).

Is this the normal thing for the "purchase without account" option? If so, then this is very bad because when the shipping address is left blank, it doesn't add shipping charges to the order!

Further testing shows that this is likely a problem with Purchase Without Account .82.

I deleted the cookies and used the PWA option and it included a shipping address on the order.

I placed another order without logging off nor deleting cookies and it included a shipping address and billing address, but the customer details (all the info in the upper left of an order: name address, phone, email...) were not included on the order.

I placed another order without clearing cookies, but did log off and create a new account, and again the shipping address was not included on the order.

Clearing the cookies is the only way PWA will create a 100% complete order.

Is this issue going to be addressed in the next release of oscmax? This is not good. About every 3rd or 4th order I get is missing the shipping information!

Have you posted this in the bugtracker?

I have now.

This issue is already resolved in 2.5 and you can fix it in older versions fairly easily. See the bug report:
0000701: PWA does not always include the Shipping Address information - osCmax Bug Tracking System

For anyone interested in fixing this themselves, do this...

In includes/application_top.php find this section of code (it's at the very bottom)

 // PWA BOF
  if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_is_guest') && substr(basename($PHP_SELF),0,7)=='account') tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART)); //THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PWA LINE
// PWA EOF 
  

You can delete it or comment out the single line.

Below it, add this...

 // PWA - Begin
if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') && (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) || isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_id']))) { 
    $query = tep_db_query("select customers_id from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = " . (int)$customer_id);
    if (tep_db_num_rows($query) == 0) {
        tep_session_unregister('customer_id');
    }
}
// PWA - End 
  

Save the file and that should be all, but make sure and test to be certain.

UPDATE: The above code does not work 100% of the time. During this week, two more orders were placed that did not include any shipping info and according to the order screen they were not PWA orders.

The above only addresses PWA orders. It does not address the "Back Button" bug in Paypal. See this:
