I had an off thing happen yesterday.. A couple of my members emailed me and told me that Paypal was adding shipping to their order. That was odd.. I've had several other members pay and not have any problems. In digging, it's only people in Canada, (and maybe other international locations) that were getting the shipping added. I had some shipping preferences set up in paypal for some calendars I was selling. It was adding those shipping charges on to the subscriptions. The short term fix was to delete my shipping prefs in paypal, but I know that there is a way to specify to paypal that this is a subscription and not goods. Can you shed any light into why this is happening? Can ST be modified to submit to paypal as a subscription, and not as goods?

There is an option in view options to ask for shipping, should be disabled by default. This was added for areas that had a sales tax (that would get handled by paypal)

Hi - PayPal is adding shipping to my subscription orders regardless of whether "Require Shipping Address" is checked in View Options or not. Can you help me with this issue? Thanks.

That problem is caused by something you set in your Paypal account. It has not anything to do with the module.

A standard domestic shipping method has been setup in my paypal account but this should not be causing a problem with subscriptions. I need shipping setup because I also sell merchandise from the website. If I create a subscription button within paypal and use the code from the button I don't have a problem with it adding shipping... <form> action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribe_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> xx"> </form> Notice the input name="no_shipping" value="1". I believe this needs to be added to the ventrian subscription tools module.

This is the same problem as me. I was able to remove the shipping costs on my paypal account as I only seasonally use the shipping, but if the transaction were passed to paypal as a subscription, it wouldn't add the shipping.

I was able to correct the problem by modifying the source code in SignupPlan.ascx.vb, then recompiling the project and uploading the new DNNForge.SubscriptionTools.dll over the existing DLL in the Bin directory of my DNN installation. Beginning on line 234 I replaced... If (Me.RequireShippingAddress) Then strPayPalURL += "&no_shipping=2" End If with... If (Me.RequireShippingAddress) Then strPayPalURL += "&no_shipping=2" Else strPayPalURL += "&no_shipping=1" End If strPayPalURL += "&cmd=_xclick-subscriptions" strPayPalURL += "&bn=PP-SubscriptionsBF" Hope this helps others encountering the same problem.
