I am getting an "Uncaught Error: Expected an order id to be passed" back even though I see an id being returned, and there are no errors in the event log for the Paypal sandbox request that was made.  

JS return from createOrder:

Hi @C_Cataldo,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community.

Here are a few things to remember when creating and capturing orders:

• You must create an access token and pass an access token with every request
• Orders must be authorized
• Orders expire within 3 hours if not authorized

If you create an order, and attempt to capture the order without an access token (authorization header), you will receive an AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE error message.

If you capture an order without it being authorized, you will receive an error message ORDER_NOT_APPROVED.

If you attempt to capture an order that is over 3 hours old you will receive an error of RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND.

Make certain that when you create your order, you go through the sandbox buyer checkout process (you may need to paste the url into a browser).

After approving the order, capture the order, ensuring that you have an access token in the authorization header (to avoid order id errors).

Thank you,

Jennifer
