Good day @seidajax04,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

We recommend merchants to use Business type PayPal accounts.

Could you please try now connecting via your primary email address of PayPal Business account.

Please make sure your PayPal Business account is verified and confirmed without any account limitations. 

Important : PayPal returned API error code 13122 - Transaction refused - Transaction violates PayPal User Agreement.

Cause  : A transaction was refused and can't be completed because it violates the PayPal User Agreement.

Solution  : Contact PayPal Customer Service to determine what part of the User Agreement is in question.

Please refer the guide link : https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/why-did-i-get-api-error-code-13122-ts2048

Hello, Mr. Kudo,

I am experiencing this issue, and many others are facing the same problem when using various WordPress websites with different themes. The problem seems to be originating from PayPal. Please be aware that I am a developer.
