Hello PayPal Community,
I am testing the v2/vault/payment-tokens API in the sandbox environment, but I am encountering a 403 error with the message:
"issue": "NOT_ENABLED_FOR_VAULT_SOURCE",
"description": "The API caller or the merchant on whose behalf the API call is initiated is not allowed to vault the given source."
Can you help me with this?"
"Do I need to be in one of the countries listed under the 'Availability' section on this page to use this API?
For reference, my sandbox account country is Korea."

Hi @raycpt ,
Thank you for providing the merchant ID and debug ID.
I have successfully added the required scopes to the REST API App(Client ID), associated with the provided sandbox account merchant ID & debug ID.
I would suggest to perform a test API request call now.
If you still having issues or queries, please create an MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US with detailed information.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal/Braintree MTS

hank you for your response. Here is the information you requested.
I am still experiencing the same issue.
Does the account region matter at all?
I want to know if the account region needs to be included in the Availability section of this page in order to use it:
[PayPal Payment Tokens API - Cards](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/save-payment-methods/purchase-later/payment-tokens-api/ca...).
