Good day @steppenwuff,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
This should be an issue with your internal website(built via third party eCommerce) plugin/module.
I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the support of your third party platform eCommerce to cross check and pass valid API request calls to PayPal system.
Note : Merchant should first perform Create Order API(https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create) call and then redirect the customer/buyer to "approve" URL.
Once the order is approved by the customer/buyer, merchant should perform Capture Order(https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_capture) API call.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal/Braintree MTS
