Hi
I have connected PalPal to my website as a payment method but the "Connect to PayPal" button does not appear. I have contacted the company that I purchased the platform from and they said that there is a code that is not allowing the "Connect to PayPal" button to appear. Please help!! The email that they sent me back is below along with a few codes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Connect with PayPal button is not displayed due to the following error returned by PayPal:
Client Authentication failed
We recommend you to contact PayPal regarding this error. Here is the response:
url: https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token
Response: {"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Client Authentication failed"
