Hi @elt123
Thanks for reaching out to us,
Ref: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/why-did-i-get-api-error-code-10501-ts1363
The error you received is related to the fact that during the checkout process you are calling a method that is not allowed for your PayPal configuration, the method is DoDirectPayemnt and allows merchants to take card payment's detail directly from their web site.
This method is only allowed for customers in UK, US and Canada that enabled Website Payments Pro.
In order to enable PRO on your account (there's a monthly fee involved), please contact our Agents in here
More information:

If you developed your integration on your own then use a different method to charge the payments as DoDirectPayment is not available for your account, while if you are using a third party solution then you need to check with them any available payment module that does not use the DoDirectPayment method.
I hope this helps!
Thanks,
