i'm use paypal-rest-sdk and need to send information about buyer to paypal for precomplete fields with address and buyer information.
how to send to paypal shipping address and payer_info ?

Answer 1

When your payment_method is "paypal", the payer_info object is pre-filled. payer_info only needs to be submitted when payment_method is credit_card
