Title: MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS Error Last modified: May 4, 2023 --- # MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS Error * Resolved [koseb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koseb/) * (@koseb) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing_shipping_address-error/) * Hello, * recently some customers get the following error message when they want to pay with PayPal: “MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS The shipping address is required when ` shipping_preference=SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS`.” * How can I fix this error? If I check and uncheck the “Ship to another address?” it works. It is also strange that the error does not always appear.

There are 2 things we would advise you to try in order to correct this behavior: 1. Try changing the field “Default customer location” to “shop country/region” in the page WooCommerce > Settings > General, and see if that improves the situation. 2. You may want to perform a full conflict test to rule out eventual issues with the theme or a different plugin. We recommend temporarily activating the [default theme Storefront](https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/) and disabling all other plugins except for WooCommerce and PayPal Payments to see if the behavior persists. Here’s a guide that explains the steps in more detail: [How to test for conflicts](https://woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/). * If this does not get you any improvement in the situation, please let us know, so we can try again. If you want to share more details of your site (logs, screenshots, etc.) you can also engage us directly via [these instructions](https://paypal.inpsyde.com/docs/request-support/). * Pending your response. * Kind regards, Joost * Plugin Support [Syde Joost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joostvandevijver/) * (@joostvandevijver) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing_shipping_address-error/#post-16764418) * Hello, * since we did not receive any response or follow-up questions from you, we will assume you got this working to your requirements.

Deleted the content on the checkout page and added the default WooCommerce shortcode **[woocommerce_checkout]**. IMPORTANT: Make a backup of the page before and test it on a staging or test page first. * I use the Divi theme and there are several shortcodes stored on the checkout page that can be used to customize the page. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem Divi shortcodes. With the standard WooCommerce shortcode the page is not as customizable as the Divi page but at least everything works with it. * [Daniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danieldiaz/) * (@danieldiaz) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing_shipping_address-error/#post-16857969) * I just looked at it and you are right, with native checkout it works perfectly… this is a problem for me. Thanks for your reply. * [piofre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piofre/) * (@piofre) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing_shipping_address-error/#post-17013990) * hi [@joostvandevijver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joostvandevijver/), hi [@koseb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koseb/) I have the same issue– get the message on the checkout page all the time MISSING_SHIPPING_ADDRESS The shipping address is required when `shipping_preference=SET_PROVIDED_ADDRESS`. Although some users somehow managed to pay successfully withPayPal 😮 Is there meanwhile a known solution for the bug? * My plugin: WooCommerce PayPal Payments Version 2.2.2Theme Kallyas * [piofre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piofre/) * (@piofre) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing_shipping_address-error/#post-17015207) * just an addition – customers who managed to use paypal live in Denmark * Thread Starter [koseb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koseb/) * (@koseb) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing_shipping_address-error/#post-17023790) * Hi [@piofre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piofre/), unfortunately not. Currently we still have it so that we use the standard checkout page from woocommerce. As described above, so **first make a backup of your page **in case something doesn’t work, then delete all the content on the checkout page and then just insert the shortcode [woocommerce_checkout]. Save and you’re done. After that it worked for us again… If this doesn’t help, I think you better open a new ticket or contact the support of the plugin directly.
