XF 1.5 How to Collect Adresses with Account Ugrades

[Mr Lucky]

My Paypal account statements shows the address if somebody uses my donation button, but if they purchase an account upgrade on xenforo, the address does not seem to be captured, so does not show on the paypal statement.

Does anyone now of a setting (presumably in paypal as I don't see one in xenforo but i could be wrong) ?

I did ring Paypal to ask, and the lady I spoke to said she could change something on the account to do this, however nothing happened.

Check in these columns:

xf_user_upgrade_active.extra
xf_user_upgrade_expired.extra

If it's in there then it should be possible to extract it with some string operations in a query.

Thanks, but that isn't what I mean, sorry I am not explaining well today. It's the physical (street) address in Paypal statements I want.

The default upgrade paypal buttons in xenforo go direct to the users paypal account, where they pay either a one-off or recurring. So no address is actually eneterd in xenforo.

However with a normal Paypal button that you can embed, or with a normal shopping cart checkout (e.g. Woocommerce), the person's address appears on your Paypal statement.

But wth the xenforo button this does not happen.

I think you want this:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/

(search for "no_shipping")

no_shipping Optional Do not prompt buyers for a shipping address.
Allowable values are:
0 — prompt for an address, but do not require one
1 — do not prompt for an address
2 — prompt for an address, and require one
The default is 0.

You will find this form field in this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> account_upgrades

Change the value to 2 (highlighted in red):

					<form action="{$payPalUrl}" method="post" class="upgradeForm">
						<div class="cost">{$upgrade.costPhrase}</div>
						<xen:if is="{$upgrade.length_unit} AND {$upgrade.recurring}">
								
							<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions" />
							<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="{$upgrade.cost_amount}" />
							<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="{$upgrade.length_amount}" />
							<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="{$upgrade.lengthUnitPP}" />
							<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1" />
							<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1" />
							
							<input type="submit" value="{xen:phrase subscribe}" class="button" />
						<xen:else />
							<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick" />
							<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="{$upgrade.cost_amount}" />
							
							<input type="submit" value="{xen:phrase purchase}" class="button" />
						</xen:if>
						
						<input type="hidden" name="business" value="{$xenOptions.payPalPrimaryAccount}" />
						<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="{$upgrade.currency}" />
						<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="{xen:phrase account_upgrade}: {$upgrade.title} ({$visitor.username})" />
						<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1" />
						<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1" />
						<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />
						<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="{$visitor.user_id},{$upgrade.user_upgrade_id},token,{$visitor.csrf_token_page}" />
						
						<input type="hidden" name="charset" value="utf-8" />
						<input type="hidden" name="email" value="{$visitor.email}" />
						
						<input type="hidden" name="return" value="{xen:link 'full:account/upgrade-purchase'}" />
						<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="{xen:link 'full:index'}" />
						<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="{$xenOptions.boardUrl}/payment_callback.php" />
					</form>

That may have the desired result for future purchases (not tested).

For old purchases you may have to go through Paypal.
