API

Last updated: Mar 3rd, 11:52am

Returns from the following NVP/SOAP APIs:

  • DoAuthorization
  • DoDirectPayment
  • DoExpressCheckoutPayment
  • DoReferenceTransaction
  • DoUATPExpressCheckoutPayment
  • SetExpressCheckout
  • UpdateAuthorization

Cause

The API request includes a missing, incorrect, or invalid postal code.

Impact

The payment process is halted, preventing the customer from finalizing their purchase. This can lead to a poor customer experience and potentially lost sales if the issue is not resolved promptly.

Resolution

  • Verify the postal code in the API request. If the postal code comes from the customer, surface the error to the customer to provide the correct postal code.
  • The postal code field (ZIP code in the US) is PAYMENTREQUEST_n_SHIPTOZIP.
  • Retry the API request with the correct postal code.
  • Implement address validation on the merchant website before submitting the request to PayPal.
