Permission denied when using javascript sdk

[pogrammerX]

I am making a website with a payment, but it everytime i try to test buy my product i get a Permission denied error :

Error: Api: /smart/api/order/$$$$$/capture returned ack: permission_denied {"Insufiecient Permissions "}

This is my code:

paypal.Buttons({

  onCancel: function (data) {

      alert("aborted")

  },

    onApprove: function(data, actions) {

      return actions.order.capture().then(function(details) {

        alert('Transaction completed by ' + details.payer.name.given_name + '!');

      });

    },

    onError: function(err) {

        alert(err)

    },

    createOrder: function(data, actions) {

      // Set up the transaction

      return actions.order.create({

        purchase_units: [{

          amount: {

            value: "50"

          }

        }]

      })

    }

  }).render('#paypal-button-container');

Good day @pogrammerX 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

I would suggest to please make sure you are use the same LIVE  REST API Credentials(Client ID & Secret) while performing the create order API and capture order API.

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/authentication/

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/postman/ 

Can you please try now by creating a new order and capture the order with the same API credentials.

Also, if a third-party eCommerce partner is performing API operation on your behalf, you(i.e., merchant) should be on-boarded and necessary API permissions should be granted to the Partner(API Caller). 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/ 

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/multiparty/seller-onboarding/ 

Merchants can manually grant permission to a third-party eCommerce to access specific information in your PayPal account and perform PayPal API operations on your behalf.

Login PayPal.com >> Settings >> Account Settings >> Website payments >> API Access >> Pre-built payment solution >> Grant API permission >> contact your "Third party software eCommerce" for Third Party Permission Username >> enter the username.
