    Thanks for the reply. I tested it by ordering a digital product from our site. When I get to the paypal page I can pay with my paypal account (by logging in) or pay as a guest via credit card. Here is what I see under both scenarious:

    1) Using my paypal account: after signing in, it says “Review Your Information” and it lists my shipping address (with an option for me to change it to another address). Shouldnt the shipping address not even be displayed given that this is a digital product?

    2) Using my credit card to pay: there is a box that is already checked off that says Shipping Address – Same as billing. Shouldnt the shipping address section not even be displayed given that this is a digital product?

    Please advise if I am seeing normal behavior in Paypal for our digital products.

    Thanks!

    This is “normal” behaviour:

    The point being, is that the buyer is not being forced into providing a shipping address.

    I am using the manual checkout for free downloads, but the manual checkout requires an address to be entered. Is there a way to remove the address requirement from manual checkout?

    The manual checkout form field customization addon should help. Take a look here:

    Thank you for the answer. At this stage is it not worth $30 to me to collect less information.

    If you are willing to spend some “sweat equity” instead, you can accomplish what you are after (collect less information):

    Thank you wzp. I got it done. Now will I need to remember to change the “eStore_manual_gateway_functions.php” file every time the WP eStore plugin is updated?

    Yes. You might want to save a backup copy in “a safe place, outside the plugin directory,” in case you forget.
