 * The PayPal Checkout Gateway plugin works like a charm and I don’t understand 
   how you can mess up a great plugin and switch to an aweful and full of bugs.
 * This plugin doesn’t work right out of the box. It keeps giving some error:
 * UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically
   incorrect, or failed business validation. [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS)

 * Hello [@jjfc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjfc/)
 * I am sorry to hear you are having issue with our plugin. We will do our best 
   to help you out here.
 * When PayPal rejects a payment, an error like this will be displayed in the checkout:
   [
   UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY] The requested action could not be performed, semantically
   incorrect, or failed business validation. [https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS)
 * This error can trigger when incomplete address details are sent to PayPal and
   provides a bit of context for a developer, but as with you, the description can
   be improved. We are working on getting this upgraded and improved. Please check
   again that all details in the WC form have been filled in in order to move past
   this error.
 * One other instance we saw for this error is for countries such as Ireland or 
   the United Arab Emirates that do not require a zip code. The lack of zip code
   in the checkout causes a MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS API response. We have put a
   fix for this in place that will be made available in the next release (version
   1.6.0). If this applies also to you, we could provide a testing package so you
   can test the fix before it is released.
 * Let me know any of these solutions applied to you.
 * Kind regards,
    Joost
