Is there a way to change the default country of the PayPal credit card form?

I'm integrating PayPal into my website, using these settings. 

    paypal.Buttons({
        locale: "en_GB",
        style: {
            color:  'blue',
            shape:  'pill',
            label:  'pay',
            height: 40
        },

If you use PayPal all is well and it shows up in GBP, but if you decide to pay using a credit card it always seems to default to US. I can't find anything on the PayPal developer website, nor here. Is there any way to change this?

If you want to set Britain as the default selected country in your billing address, just add bellow query parameter at the end of PayPal script URL.

&locale=en_GB

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=CLIENT_ID&currency=GBP&locale=en_GB"></script>

You can find all PayPal locale codes in this link

Setting the "buyer-country" in the script tag line, did not work for me. Neither did setting it as an item in the paypal.Buttons ({ script code. Clicking the Credit Card button always defaulted to US.

What did work is setting the "locale".

For example

    <script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?locale=en_AU&currency=AUD&client-id=*SB_CLIENT_ID*"></script>

This is in sandbox mode.

If you know the buyer's billing address, you can pass it. Documentation here.

When testing in sandbox, you can set "buyer-country" in the script tag line that loads the PayPal JS. But this only applies to sandbox testing -- for live, the buyer country will be auto detected.
