I've been using PayPal buttons in my React web app using react-paypal-button-v2, and everything worked fine using my Sandbox credentials. However, when switching to the Live Client ID instead, all transactions seem to go through as usual, but the money doesn't appear in my Paypal account. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the API call or with my Paypal account, but I have verified that the API call is successful in the Developer portal (screenshot below). Below is the code I have in my React app for the API call. Let me know if anyone has experienced a similar problem or knows how to resolve this!
<PayPalButton
amount={giveAmount}
shippingPreference="NO_SHIPPING"
onApprove={(details, data) => {
postDonationPostData(true); // add data to our database
}}
options={{
clientId: "** LIVE CLIENT ID **"
}}
/>
