I’m building a simple purchase option.
The code I generated works:
https://atlasofplaces.com/shop/carte-des-ouvrages-de-vauban/
The code my client generated in the exact same way doesn’t work and generates an AMOUNT_ERROR message:
https://atlasofplaces.com/shop/carte-des-chateaux-cathares/
Do you know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Good day @simonmalz,
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
I have tried to process a test payment and could able to process the payment flow via PayPal without any issues.
I would suggest to please process a test payment via card which is not linked to your PayPal account. Since, merchant can't process self payments.
If your still facing any issues, 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
