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.
