Hello!
I have simmilar problem for that described there
I deployed site to live yesterday and the payment looks like totally broken. A few days ago everythings worked great. Now everytime someone tries to pay with smart button (no matter which method, credit card or locall payment processor), in the end of process, the Dev console prints Uncaught Error: Order could not be captured on smart buttons. I tried 3 different Paypal accounts in sandbox and live modes without success 😞
I tried fresh new smart button generated with this tool. I tested the button with default client-id and with ours credentials. Everytime I get the same error. It's interesting, that in paypal dashboard I can see every API request in log with green icon, that suggest everything is fine.
How can I fix the error?

I didn't find a solution and rewrite all the code to use Stripe API, that works like a charm and have beautyful docs.
I will no use the Paypal API anymore unless forced.
