Disable shipping address option in PayPal Express Checkout

Working with the PayPal API and using the Name-Value Pair Interface PHP source codes from SDKs and Downloads: Simplify Integrations with Downloads and SDKs.

My question is similar to "Removing (or prefilling) the address details for PayPal Express Checkout" but I don't want shipping cost/address or anything related about shipping at all.

I keep all shipping details on my system (even sometimes shipping doesn't even apply and there is no charge for it) and I just want user to pay through PayPal without shipping address and shipping cost.

How can I disable shipping part of checkout?

2022 and beyond

The documentation for V2 of the PayPal API, currently the latest version, and which seems to have been cleaned up a lot over the past year or so, states the following:

shipping_preference

Displays the shipping address to the customer. Enables the customer to choose an address on the PayPal site. Restricts the customer from changing the address during the payment-approval process.

The possible values are:

GET_FROM_FILE. Use the customer-provided shipping address on the PayPal site.
NO_SHIPPING. Redact the shipping address from the PayPal site. Recommended for digital goods.
SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS. Use the merchant-provided address. The customer cannot change this address on the PayPal site.

Therefore, simply adding:

"application_context" => [
    "shipping_preference" => "NO_SHIPPING"
]

or if using JavaScript:

"application_context": {
    "shipping_preference" => "NO_SHIPPING"
}

...to your order creation should disable any shipping options.

As an example, my PHP code to create an order using PayPal's Standard Checkout Integration (which in turn makes use of the Smart Buttons) now looks like this:

$order = $paypal->createOrder([
    "intent"=> "CAPTURE",
    "purchase_units"=> [
         [
            "amount"=> [
                "currency_code" => "GBP",
                "value"=> 4.99
            ],
             'description' => 'My product description',
        ],            
    ],               
    "application_context" => [
        "shipping_preference" => "NO_SHIPPING"
    ]
]);

If you're using the newer API, you could also pass NOSHIPPING=1 (not no_shipping)

Further details about all possible parameters to the SetExpressCheckout here:

Or lookup for Payment experience in new REST API

For others looking for this, because PayPals documentation is so GREAT (cough, cough).

NO web experience profile REQUIRED!

Using REST API V2 with Javascript/JQuery and turning "Ship To" off for an ORDER, here is the correct code example:

    createOrder: function(data, actions) {
        $('#paypalmsg').html('<b>' + 'WAITING ON AUTHORIZATION TO RETURN...' + '</b>');
        $('#chkoutmsg').hide()
        return actions.order.create({
            purchase_units: [{
                description: 'GnG Order',
                amount: {
                    value: cartTotal
                }
            }],
            application_context: {
              shipping_preference: 'NO_SHIPPING'
            }

        });
    },

To solve for this from current (2019) web client .JS, add the application_context block to the request body.

Below is an example for createSubscription() call; and I'm thinking this will work with createOrder() as well

paypal.Buttons({
          createSubscription: function (data, actions) {

              return actions.subscription.create({

                  'plan_id'            : 'P-123',
                  'application_context': {
                      'shipping_preference': 'NO_SHIPPING'
                  }
              });
          },

          onApprove: function (data, actions) {

              // ...
          }
      })
      .render('#paypal-button-container');

Thanks to the example code here:

Here's where the field enums are listed:

The current right answer is depracated. To fix the issue in new API we should create Payment web experience profile resource with needed parameters and attach it to request Payment .

Example in PHP:

/** Note: Define some variables yourself. */

$inputFields = new InputFields();
$inputFields->setAllowNote(true)
    ->setNoShipping(1) // Important step
    ->setAddressOverride(0);

$webProfile = new WebProfile();
$webProfile->setName(uniqid())
    ->setInputFields($inputFields)
    ->setTemporary(true);

$createProfile = $webProfile->create($apiContext);

$payment = new Payment();

$payment->setPayer($payer);
$payment->setIntent($intent);
$payment->setRedirectUrls($redirectUrls)
$payment->setTransactions(array($transaction));
$payment->setExperienceProfileId($createProfile->getId()); // Important step.

$payment->create($apiContext);

if ($payment->getState() === "created") {
    $approvalLink = $payment->getApprovalLink()

    header("Location: $approvalLink"); // Redirects user to PayPal page.
}

Note: You can find all above used classes by link: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-PHP-SDK/tree/master/lib/PayPal/Api

@Ergec : I tried this:

$nvpstr = "&ADDRESSOVERRIDE=1".$shiptoAddress."&L_NAME0=".$L_NAME0."&L_NAME1=".$L_NAME1."&L_AMT0=".$L_AMT0."&L_AMT1=".$L_AMT1."&L_QTY0=".$L_QTY0."&L_QTY1=".$L_QTY1."&MAXAMT=".(string)$maxamt."&ITEMAMT=".(string)$itemamt."&AMT=".$itemamt."&ReturnUrl=".$returnURL."&CANCELURL=".$cancelURL."&CURRENCYCODE=".$currencyCodeType;

It works. Here we can also use shipping address even though we are not charging any amount.

Create a web profile based on the example found in the API: CreateWebProfile.php.

$createProfileResponse = require  __DIR__ . '/CreateWebProfile.php';
$payment = new Payment(); 
$payment->setExperienceProfileId($createProfileResponse->getId());

File path: paypal/rest-api-sdk-php/sample/payment-experience/CreateWebProfile.php

Hey Ergec, just pass along the no_shipping parameter with a value of 1.

From PayPal's documentation:

no_shipping

Do not prompt payers for shipping address. Allowable values:
0 – prompt for an address, but do not require one
1 – do not prompt for an address
2 – prompt for an address, and require one
The default is 0.
