As you know, We are using Virtuemart for our store on instantphp.com. Everythink is started with an e-mail that one of our users is sent.

E-mail was "Your store was not working". That was the mail. I've made a research about this issue but i did not found anythink.

This error happens , if you have international orders like us.

I've made test orders with making payment and I've tested Virtuemart with paypal sandbox mode.

At least I've found the problem reason. It was not related with Virtuemart . The exact error message was "Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to"

The solution is so easy. Visit Joomla Admin Panel>Components>Virtuemart>Store>List Payment Methods>Paypal>Click the 'Configuration' tab. When you have done this, You will see the screen below.



If you look the screenshot above, You will see "address_override" => "0",. address_override parameter comes 1 by the default Virtuemart installation.

Change it from "address_override" => "1", to "address_override" => "0",. That's the thing you need to pass "Paypal does not allow your country of residence to ship to the country you wish to" error
