I have a question about users who set up a PayPal account but haven't verified it. In our system, they can start selling, but PayPal does not allow customers to buy products until the seller verifies the account(?). Is it possible to remove this limit or anything to do with it from the PayPal website so that people who set up a new account can start selling immediately and, for example, verify their account later? The question is for this error: PAYEE_ACCOUNT_NOT_VERIFIED
This is what we send:
{"intent": "CAPTURE", "application_context": {"cancel_url": "XX," return_url ":"XX"}," purchase_units " : [{"invoice_id": "11-04033241 \ / 12 \ / 2021 \ / 87", "items": [{"name": "Y", "unit_amount": {"currency_code": " AUD "," value ":" 38.50 "}," quantity ":" 1 "," category ":" PHYSICAL_GOODS "}]," amount ": {" value ":" 53.50 "," currency_code ":" AUD " , "breakdown": {"item_total": {"value": "38.50", "currency_code": "AUD"}, "shipping": {"value": "15.00", "currency_code": "AUD"}} }, "payee": {"merchant_id": "XX"}, "payment_instruction": {"disbursement_mode": "INSTANT", "platform_fees": [{"amount": {"currency_code": "AUD", "value ":" 3.50 "}}]," payee ": {" merchant_id ":" XX "}}," shipping ": {" address ": {" address_line_1 ":" X "," address_line_2 ":" " , "admin_area_1": "XX", "admin_area_2": "XX", "postal_code": "XX", " country_code ":" AU "}}}]}
This is the answer from PayPal:
{"name": "NOT_AUTHORIZED", "details": [{"issue": "PAYEE_ACCOUNT_NOT_VERIFIED", "description": "Payee has not verified their account with PayPal. Your current setup requires the 'payee' to have an account with PayPal before you can process transactions on their behalf. "}]," Message ":" Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions. "," Debug_id ":" aef1250ffb618 "," links ": [{" href ":" https: / /developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-PAYEE_ACCOUNT_NOT_VERIFIED","rel":"information_link","method":"GET "}]}
