Good day @rimjhimjain,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
To resolve the issue, I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the support of your third party platform(eCommerce) to cross check your website integration(HTML button code) and pass the valid payment API request to PayPal system.
Also, cross check sandbox button code/payment request and pass valid sandbox"business" value.
Sandbox PayPal ID or Sandbox PayPal Primary/Confirmed email address as "business" value.
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="">
Sample HTML button code : View sample HTML code that shows various payment features and options for each PayPal payment button.
Use the following samples as a starting point to create your own HTML payment button code:
If your still facing issue, please create a MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US with the detail information and error details.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal/Braintree MTS
