10544	Gateway Decline on Pro, it means PayPal declined the payment for various reasons, e.g. AVS failed, high risk, CVV2 mismatch.

Since few days the adaptive payments (both preapprovals and chained) seems to be broken.
When we send the user to paypal to complete the order (chained) or to authorize the preapproval (preapprovals), they get a generic "invalid transaction" error. Tested the flow, we get the same error and looking to the console we can see this error on the checkout.js file in the paypal object directory:

Uncaught TypeError: PAYPAL.AP.Subflow is not a constructor
at checkout.js:11
(anonymous) @ checkout.js:11

Seems something has broken on paypal side.

Hi Ciaran, Check this, many have this issue on PayPal preapprovals at the moment: https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/NVP-SOAP-APIs/Unsupported-country-code-IT-error/td-p/1909932 Started on 17 september 2019 in the morning, Italy time.

We recently opened a new Paypal business account and using the API credentials to integrate our system with Paypal. During testing, we are seeing that the Paypal API throws an error code of 10482 Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details. Desc2=PaymentAction of Order is not allowed with Unilateral and Non-Credentialed authentication.

Did anyone experience this before and what might be cause of this error?
