 * Hi,
 * I am having this problem with WooCommerce and PayPal checkout.
 * The problem is when the user checks out using the express checkout buttons, paypal
   API redirects the user with a token and some information such as name and email
   back to checkout page. The checkout page form does not render properly, it only
   loads with that contact information supplied by the API (name and email). Then
   when the user clicks place order, errors of missing fields pop up ( missing address,
   missing zip, missing phone number…). Even though those fields are not even shown
   on the page.
 * I was able to find a temporary fix. When the user adds item to cart, then clicks
   proceed to checkout instead of using the express checkout. The form renders properly
   and even auto fills. Then the user can simply go to the bottom and checkout with
   any option including PayPal. Everything works normally. So I disabled the express
   checkout buttons for now to resolve this. But I would like the customers to be
   able to use those.
 * Ideally, I would like the users to be able to use the express checkout, especially
   if they have their details already saved in our database. Allowing them to skip
   the whole process of adding item to cart and then proceed to checkout.
 * Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Harin

 * Hello [@harin24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harin24/)
 * Our plugin is not compatible with plugins that skip the WooCommerce mechanism
   and add their own checkout buttons.
    We realize that these extra buttons are 
   sometimes useful but then our plugin will not work as it should. The mentioned
   fix seems to make sense.
