Paypal Payouts giving AUTHORIZATION_ERROR

[fitbase]

Hi , 

I have being trying to make payouts but  getting  403 Unauthorized error . But same code works fine in Sandbox mode not working in live mode . I have checked the credentials which are correct and able to do payments .  The Payouts are enable for the live account . Below is the error message .

"message": "Response code: 403\tError response: {\"name\":\"AUTHORIZATION_ERROR\",\"debug_id\":\"6099f88df16c1\",\"message\":\"Authorization error occurred.\",\"information_link\":\"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/#errors\"}"
   }

Debug id : 6099f88df16c1

Hope to get resolution soon . Thanks .

Hi, your account needs to be verified in order to run Payouts/Masspayments. Please check with Customer Service how to verify your account.

Facing the same issue. Do we need to verify account even if we are using sandbox credentials?

Sandbox reflects the Live environment so it will have the same behavior. If you private message your Sandbox account I can verify it for you or just try to create a new Sandbox account already verified (during the creation select a card/bank).

APIContext apiContext = new APIContext(clientId, secret, mode);
PayoutBatch payoutBatch = payout.create(apiContext, new HashMap<>());

If you use this API, it requires that your payment account is a key customer of PayPal, otherwise it has no authority to call, and the returned result is 403.

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue in live environment only(debug_id":"2698d5d90b9e9".).

After double checked, I found on my dashboard that Live Payouts are not enabled but didn't found how to enable it(Or request to do so).

Can you please look on your side ?

Thanks for your precious help

Hi Robodo, on live you need to apply for Payouts, please check with the Customer Service or via this link where you can see the Payouts option, you can eventually contact sales to get more details
