Hello @ClickBankStore,
Thank you for reaching out to the PayPal Community.
The error "10002: Security header is not valid" you are experiencing is usually caused by incorrect API Credentials or API permissions for third-party calls. Check the API credentials you are using to ensure you have entered the correct credentials, including your API Username, Password, and Signature/Certificate. Any typos or incorrect information can cause authentication failures.

Sincerely,
Saurav
