PayPal not adding standard base postage as am using Express Checkout not Payment Standard Buttons

[cjg297]

Hi - recently PayPal orders stopped adding the standard postage amount that I entered through the PayPal Postage Tool. According to PayPal, "The automatic postage or tax profile that you set on your PayPal account works only for the Payment Standard Buttons and not for ExpressCheckout, that is the solution that you are using.

If you use ExpressCheckout then you need to calculate it before to reach PayPal (eventually through a plug-in) and then pass to PayPal ExpressCheckout the shipping/tax value already."

Can anyone tell me how I change Weebly to use Payment Standar Buttons and not Express Checkout?

Many thanks

It isn't possible right now to revert back to the non-express checkout. A simpler solution would be to just set up shipping rates here at Weebly in Store > Setup > Shipping.

isnt this an up charge now of 300.00 plus for this feature where it used to be free

Hi Chris,

   I have the same problem. Upgrading on Weebly would require my having to upgrade shipping on my other sites. For now, I'm offering free shipping but had to raise prices to include shipping. This only works for me within the U.S. so I use Paypal's Int'L calculations from my other sites. Some people are using etsy and ebay for now until they decide what they want to do.

I haven't even changed over to express check out and my sales are showing 'free shipping' when I have not altered my shipping fees at all.  Most unhappy with this change and I can't figure out how to change it back.  Any help would be appreciated too.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do to help since you're using an older PayPal API. I would recommend updating your PayPal account, @Sherlenet. While it does mean you'll need to set up your shipping rates with us, it will also prevent future issues with the API. It's very likely that eventually PayPal will remove the API and it won't work at all at that point.
