PayPal "State is required" error 10729

PrestaShop Version 1.4.1.0

PayPal Module v2.4

 

We have a customer in India (we are in the U.S.) attempting to purchase our products but they keep receiving the following error response from the PayPal API:

 

1. PayPal response:

2. TIMESTAMP -> 2012-06-08T18:30:01Z

3. L_ERRORCODE0 -> 10729

4. L_SHORTMESSAGE0 -> Shipping Address State Empty

5. L_LONGMESSAGE0 -> The field Shipping Address State is required

6. L_SEVERITYCODE0 -> Error

 

Obviously, PayPal is looking for a "State" but to my knowledge, various geographical regions are not defined as a "State" in India or many other countries for that matter...

 

Please advise how to resolve the issue with the v2.4 module or PayPal and allow the customer India (and other countries without States) to complete orders without encountering this error message.

 

Thank you!

I think the State request is done on Paypal server's side. However, since India doesn't use a State system, I'm not sure how should we have this solved.

 

Paypal API servers checking city and states is getting annoying for me since its prevents a handful of failed orders which means orders are lost.

Hey, now you are seriously mistaken. India definitely has very independent states. Laws vary from state to state.

 

India is a federal republic consisting currently of 29 states and 7 union territories. In India, the executive power of a State extends to legislature as each state has power to make its own laws. So they are definitely a states, and not just a provinces.

 

Let's quote Wikipedia here:

 

India is a federal union of states[1] comprising twenty-nine states and seven union territories.
