TXN_DECLINED for all transactions made through my Stripe Integration

[MichaelP123]

I have a new PayPal business account and have enabled the PayPal intregration in my Stripe account shopping cart.  
When customers attempt to purchase a product from my website and choose the PayPal option, their transactions are always refused by PayPal with TXN_DECLINED.  
I can see no reason why this is happening.  Neither Stripe nor PayPal are helpful.  Is my website perhaps seen as a high risk for some reason?  Is it because my PayPal business account is too new?
I really need some help with this.

Good Day @MichaelP123,

Thank you for contacting the PayPal community. We appreciate your inquiry.

Please cross-check your PayPal Business account and make sure it is verified and confirmed without any account limitations. This will ensure that there are no obstacles in processing payments.

To gain a further understanding of why your payments might be declining, we recommend referring to the following link https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/why-was-my-payment-declined-help419

In addition, we suggest conducting a test payment using a card that is not linked to your PayPal account. This is because merchants are not able to make self-payments.

If you are still encountering any issues, please create an MTS ticket by visiting the following URL:

Thank you for choosing PayPal.

Sincerely,

Vaishnavi

PayPal MTS
