0 moy2010 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Set the state as a required field in your address settings. This way your customers will have to enter the state during the checkout to place a new order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jnsgioia Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 The problem is not when the customer enters their address. It is when the customer uses login with PayPal and PayPal automatically passes the address to the cart. It is not passing the state information. With login with PayPal the customer does not have to enter their address. The login with Amazon works as it should so it is a problem with the PayPal module.

0 moy2010 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Oh :S. Then disable the login with PayPal in the meantime. I've always hated the social login buttons in e-commerce :S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jnsgioia Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 That I have done. It hasn't been much of an issue in the past as most of our sales are out of state (we only have to charge sales tax on sales where the customer is in Arizona), but we are running a special right now on a t-shirt for the eclipse which has been promoted by our local astronomy club and we are getting lots of local sales.

0 jnsgioia Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Possibly, where would that conversion take place? Arizona has 524 zip codes, and larger states have many more. California for instance has 2,589. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Traumflug Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Here's a database capable of doing this conversion: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/ This page gives a strong hint the state is available via PayPal API: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/rest/state-codes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
