NVP/SOAP APIs work in sandbox but not in live environment

[Nevena3]

Hi,

I'm in Australia.

I setup a business account and created API username, password and signature in order to use NVP/SOAP APIs. 

Created simple example to charge $1 from my credit card.

Works fine in sandbox.

When I try with live credentials I get the following message:

PayPal message: {"CURRENCYCODE":"AUD","L_SEVERITYCODE0":"Error","AMT":"1.00","TIMESTAMP":"2020-10-20T20:49:19Z","BUILD":"54790461","L_LONGMESSAGE0":"This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to process transactions.","CORRELATIONID":"233b4b449ecef","L_ERRORCODE0":"10548","VERSION":"56.0","L_SHORTMESSAGE0":"Invalid Configuration","ACK":"Failure"}

Can someone help please?

Kind regards,

Nevena

Hi @Nevena3 

It looks like you're trying to initiate Direct Credit Card Payments via REST. Unfortunately, as you can see in this documentation on this, Direct Credit Card payments through REST are restricted. To do direct credit card payments, I would probably say Braintree is the way to go. You can see more on Braintree here. 

Hope that helps!
