Solution:
I can see two functions to be written here.
1. To alter the order data when an order is created. This is where we save the email needed.
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta', 'woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta' );
function woocommerce_checkout_update_order_meta( $order_id ) {
$email = 'paypal@location1.com';
// do something here as to use the right email.
// you have $order_id.
// can be used as:
// $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
// $order->get_billing_address_1() to get the address to check order address.
// or use $_POST['location'] if ever you posted some data.
update_post_meta( $order_id, '_alternative_paypal_email', $email );
}
2. Then use woocommerce_paypal_args
to alter the args that is being passed to paypal.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_paypal_args', 'woocommerce_paypal_args', 10, 2 );
function woocommerce_paypal_args( $paypal_args, $order ) {
$email = get_post_meta( $order->get_id(), '_alternative_paypal_email', true );
if ( !empty( $email ) ) {
$paypal_args['business'] = $email;
}
return $paypal_args;
}
To summarize, this is just an example. But these two hooks is enough to get what you need.
