Authorization error with status code Forbidden

I need to send Payout payments from my REST API app. My PayPal account is based in Australia.

 

When I send Payouts via sandbox everything works fine but when I use live mode I get the error as shown in the below examples. For all of them the StatusCode is "Forbidden"

 

Examples:


{"name":"AUTHORIZATION_ERROR", "debug_id":"22e8236d197aa"," message":"Authorization error occurred.","information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/ docs/api/payments.payouts- batch/#errors"}

 

{"name":"AUTHORIZATION_ERROR", "debug_id":"b5b24e2a99cee"," message":"Authorization error occurred.","information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/ docs/api/payments.payouts- batch/#errors"}

 

{"name":"AUTHORIZATION_ERROR","debug_id":"92428cd48adcb","message":"Authorization error occurred.","information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/#errors"}

 

So far this is what I've done to try to solve this issue:

I can see MassPay/Payouts is enabled on your account but your account is not verified so it won't work. Get yourself verified and you should be good to go. There's an FAQ article on getting verified that will guide you HERE
