Hello. I've been implementing PayPal REST API on my server. Finally completed the checkout flow and made successfull payment with sandbox environment. Now trying to make a payment with a live (production) environment, using my personal customer account. The payment is successfully created. I receive errors when payment is confirmed by the client and servers is executing payment. Server's response is: {"name":"INSTRUMENT_DECLINED","details":[],"message":"The instrument presented was either declined by the processor or bank, or it can't be used for this payment.","information_link":"
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors","debug_id":"eb5dde59636b4"} I've read error description. My paypal account have a linked credit card, the card have sufficient founds and I've successfully tested it with other PayPal merchants. So, I think the problem it with the created payment or maybe something else. The created payment's format is: {"id":"PAY-32J348696P6258347LN3KZQY","intent":"sale","state":"created","payer":{"payment_method":"paypal"},"transactions":[{"amount":{"total":"1.00","currency":"USD"},"description":"Silver membership","custom":"34","related_resources":[]}],"experience_profile_id":"XP-YHJB-B2QJ-LMKF-ZGL3","create_time":"2018-08-17T11:08:50Z","links":[{"href":"
https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment/PAY-32J348696P6258347LN3KZQY","rel":"self","method":"GET"..."}]} I see that PayPal provides many ways to pay, I assume as as merchant I can face similar issues in future. Is there any way to quickly examine why exactrly the system didn't executed payment? The INSTRUMENT_DECLINED is quite ambiguous. It assumes at least three possible reasons for denial.
