UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY

[GerdNL]

I keep getting this UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY error when I try to create an order, strongly the first time I tried I worked, after that It didn't work anymore, I deleted the app and create new credentials but that didn't work either, anyone have an idea?

the error is

Good day @GerdNL,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

The Create order API calls failed due to "Bad Request" with HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE=422 via Sandbox environment.

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/reference/orders/v2/errors/#create-order 

I would suggest to cross check and pass valid request in your Create order API.

If your still facing any issues, please create a MTS ticket via -  https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US with the detail information and error details.

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi
