I want to set the shipping preference during a “Create order ” POST /v2/checkout/orders call.

If I use the deprecated method of using application_context then it works fine:

{
  "intent": "CAPTURE",
  "purchase_units": [
    {
      "amount": {
        "currency_code": "GBP",
        "value": "110.62"
      }
    }
  ],
  "application_context": {
    "shipping_preference": "NO_SHIPPING"
  }
}

However, if I use the recommended method of using experience_context then I don’t get back a status of CREATED but of PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED.

{
  "intent": "CAPTURE",
  "purchase_units": [
    {
      "amount": {
        "currency_code": "GBP",
        "value": "110.62"
      }
     }
  ],
  "payment_source": {
    "paypal": {
      "experience_context": {
        "shipping_preference": "NO_SHIPPING"
      }
    }
  }
}

Why is that?

Note: The same problem was also asked one year ago in the PayPal community:

But it was never solved.
