Hello to everyone,

If your Magento store has started running slow and you want to find the bottlenecks in the system, you can use the built-in Magento profiler.

When operating a Magento store you might possibly come across the following problem. A customer selects PayPal Express payment method and proceeds to placing an order. After clicking “Place Order” they are redirected to PayPal to login and when they return to PayPal Order Review page on your store to finalize the order, the store does not let them proceed and keeps asking to re-enter the Shipping Method, although it has already been selected before. This can be very frustrating for a customer and can results in many lost orders.

Here is how we solve this problem:

Open the file:

app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Express/Checkout.php

find the following line in method updateShippingMethod(),

$shippingAddress->setShippingMethod ($methodCode) ->setCollectShippingRates(true);

And replace it with

$shippingAddress->setShippingMethod ($methodCode)->setCollectShippingRates (true) ->save();

With this little change the problem should disappear.

Warning: Do not forget to backup your files before any experiments.

Have a good day.

Before we get into the details, I would like to point out that if you are not confident performing the installation yourself, you should let the team of Magento professionals do it. People who developed the extension would be the best choice and they usually offer this service for a small fee.

But if you decided to get your hands dirty and do it yourself, we recommend following these instructions:
