Paypal Integration Error

[Sweetlifepartne]

Hello team,

I have used custom paypal smart button script in my website for payment.

Below is the script which i used in  my code (using HTML & Javascript)

<script src="https:www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=AQW2EB1gdF4t2kQIuJfTirEDneMyxJkDEDTPfIs7YM3BPNuNEjVnIsANPv0vKmczSOH8..." data-sdk-integration-source="button-factory"></script>
<script>
paypal.Buttons({
style: {
shape: 'rect',
color: 'gold',
layout: 'horizontal',
label: 'paypal',
tagline: false
},
createOrder: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.create({
purchase_units: [
{
reference_id: "PUHF",
description: "Some description",
custom_id: "Something7364",
soft_descriptor: "Great description 1",
amount: {
currency_code: "AUD",
value: '0.50',
breakdown: {
item_total: {
currency_code: "AUD",
value: '0.50'
}
}
},
items: [
{
name: "Item 1",
description: "The best item ever",
sku: "xyz-2654",
unit_amount: {
currency_code: "AUD",
value: '0.50'
},
quantity: "1"
}

],

}
]
});
},

onApprove: function(data, actions) {
return actions.order.capture().then(function(data) {
window.location.href = "https:sweetlifepartner.com/index.php/paypal/callback?plan_id=2&amount=0.50&paymentID="+data.paymentID+"&payerID="+data.payerID+"&token="+data.paymentToken+"&pid=";
});
}
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
</script>

Using this script i am able to see button on my website but when customer ,login from their account it will not allow them to pay and give below error

{"ack":"contingency","contingency":"UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY","data":{"name":"UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY","details":[{"issue":"INSTRUMENT_DECLINED","description":"The instrument presented was either declined by the processor or bank, or it can't be used for this payment."}],"message":"The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.","debug_id":"4b006abc64a4a","links":[{"href":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-INSTRUMENT_DECLINED","rel":"information_link"..."}

I checked using by capture/authorize both method but its not working. Please help me resolve it and let me know if i missed any step.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi @Sweetlifepartne,

Thank you for contacting PayPal community.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Upon checking the error details, we could see that the reported payment attempts failed to capture due to "INSTRUMENT_DECLINED" . 

Error description :

"issue": "INSTRUMENT_DECLINED"
"message": "The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.",

I request to please contact the user/customers to process payments via valid funding source.

Unfortunately, we are restricted to process live payments on merchants website. Can you please try to process a test payment via card which is not linked to your PayPal account.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
