Unauthorized Payment

[inagrab]

Hi,

We need technical support to debug a paypal api resonse error message. We are using paypal node js rest sdk (https://www.npmjs.com/package/paypal-rest-sdk) to perform payments. When we hit the create payment api we are receiving UNAUTHORIZED_PAYMENT error.

Sample payload:

{

  "transactions" : [

    {

      "amount" : {

        "currency" : "USD",

        "total" : "1"

      },

      "description" : "This is the payment description."

    }

  ],

  "redirect_urls" : {

    "return_url" : "http://return.url",

    "cancel_url" : "http://cancel.url"

  },

  "intent" : "sale",

  "payer" : {

    "payment_method" : "paypal"

  }

}

Response ```{

    "status": {

        "code": 400,

        "paypalError": {

            "response": {

                "name": "UNAUTHORIZED_PAYMENT",

                "message": "Unauthorized payment.",

                "information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors",

                "debug_id": "788aab7ddeb23",

                "httpStatusCode": 401

            },

            "httpStatusCode": 401

        }

    }

}```

As show in above response message, UNAUTHORIZED_PAYMENT is coming. We have double checked client id and secret, that information is correct. Also, the Sandbox mode is working fine, but not the Live.

Debug id: 3e18cd5c26314

We need some technical support to figure possible cause behind this issue.

Thanks in advance.
