How to create PayPal subscription form with billing address?

Question

I am trying to create a PayPal subscription form with billing address but it doesn't work, I'm unable to figure out the problem, please have a look at this form.

<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions" />
    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="business.account@test.com" />
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD" />
    <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1" />

    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Baseball Hat Monthly" />
    <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="123" />
    <input type="hidden" name="a3" value="5.00" />
    <input type="hidden" name="p3" value="3" />
    <input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M" />
    <input type="hidden" name="src" value="1" />

    <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return"  value="http://www.example.com/cancel" />
    <input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.example.com/ipn" />

    <input type="hidden" value="Colorado Springs" name="city" id="city">
    <input type="hidden" value="US" name="country" id="country">
    <input type="hidden" value="personal.account@test.com" name="email" id="email">

    <input type="hidden" value="" name="address2" id="address2">
    <input type="hidden" value="1" name="address_override" id="address_override">


    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</form>

You can see address_override attribute is set to 1 but when I see the order detail in my PayPal business account, it doesn't show me the submitted address but shows following notice.

Answer 1

When you have "no_shipping=1" set you aren't requiring a shipping address for the transaction so that is why the address doesn't appear during the checkout process and in the transaction details.

I changed it to both "2" and "0" but the address didn't appear after I logged into a test account - like it should. If I switch the button type to be "_xclick" with "no_shipping=2" the address does appear correctly.

I'll file a ticket with the engineers to get this resolved for Subscription buttons.
