The instruciton given above by Ivy is for the WP eStore plugin (she probably didn't realize that you were talking about the other plugin). </p> <p>Anyway, to use PayPal's profile based shipping do the following:</p> <p>Open the "wp_shopping_cart.php" file and search for the following word:</p> <p>shipping_1"</p> <p>once you find it then delete the whole line. save and upload and that should do it. </p>
