PayPal payment integration - Shipping Prepopulation
Immediately I warn you that, in fact, the topic is not so much information, as the questioner.

At first, I tried to investigate the current mechanism for working with PayPal. It turned out that a certain control is used which “quietly” creates a form, fills it with the information entered by the buyer and immediately sends the form to PayPal. Actually the process of buying is already on the PayPal site.

And then I just can’t think of how to “pre-type” the delivery address information. On the site, the user enters it, but I cannot send it to PayPal. The long smoking of PayPal manuals only further confuses the situation and finally brings my brain to a stupor.

What options does PayPal provide?
Website Payment Standard
Everyone seems to be good - but we have far more than one product on the site, because the button that was previously generated does not fit. You can use
address_override to transfer a client’s address (billing address associated with a payment), item_name_"n" and amount_"n" can be used to transfer a group of products at once amount_"n"Having created an account in the sendbox, I started testing it;
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

Payflow link
