Hello,
We've been trying to integrate paypal through server integration using REST apis.
We keep getting the error message on the paypal popup stating "We cannot process your paypal payment"
I checked the networks and I found that it's giving the following errors -
API ----> https://www.paypal.com/webapps/xoonboarding/api/address/normalize
{"ack":"contingency","contingency":"VALIDATION_ERROR","meta":{"calc":"<someID>","rlog":"<someID>"},"server":"<someID>"}
API ---> https://www.paypal.com/webapps/xoonboarding/api/checkout/EC-<someID>/session/create
{"ack":"contingency","contingency":"PAYER_CANNOT_PAY","errorData":{"step_up_context":{}},"meta":{"calc":"<someID>","rlog":"<someID>"},"server":"<someID>"}
I'm not able to decipher the error and we've tried the payment using multiple cards, we get the same error everytime both in sandbox mode and in production mode.
