Hello, I'm new to Payflow and I am trying to setup a sandbox so I can start testing. I am using the DOSaleComplete.java sample and with a sandbox that I am not sure is setup properly for payflow.
When I create a new sandbox account the credentials generated are not accepted by the payflow API.
Here is how I setup the credentials which I looked up on Account Details -> API Credentials page. USERNAME and PASSWORD are specified, VENDOR and PARTNER are empty strings "".
UserInfo user = new UserInfo(USERNAME, VENDOR, PARTNER, PASSWORD);
I get the following error message after the submitTransaction() call:
Result Code (RESULT) = 26
Response Message (RESPMSG) = Invalid vendor account
I'm sure I have something backwards here. Just need a nudge in the right direction. Thanks for your help.
