Question

DoDirectPayment API call requires an IP address field (this is a buyer’s IP) so I am using ServletRequest.getRemoteAddr to get the request IP. However this IP is assumed to be IPv4 and
does not seem to support IPv6. Have anyone found a workaround for this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

IP Address is not required by PayPal, so I do not send IP address in local debug mode. I only send in production mode in which we use IPv4.

DoDirectPaymentRequestDetailsType details = new DoDirectPaymentRequestDetailsType();
#if (!DEBUG)
details.IPAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
#endif
