Unable to enable payout on business account in Italy, info request

Hello everyone,

I tested the payout function on a php script,
both using a curl call, and with sdk scripts and in sandbox mode everything works perfectly.
so I checked on live business account, on developer of course the app is with the payout flag active and unfortunately in this case it no longer works and gives the AUTHORIZATION_ERROR error.

 

after confused customer service replies, I tried to access the following url

https://www.paypal.com/payoutsweb/landing

to try to manually request the authorization but Italy cannot be accessed and also by logging in with a VPN then the Italian accounts cannot log in

 

it would seem that enabling the payout function cannot in any way be activated live for Italian accounts, at least so some of the customer service told me even if others responded differently.

 

I therefore ask you if there is another method to call via php or javascript or other language a payment from your account to another paypal account (with an automated process of course)

For REST api, go to the page: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications

On the top of the page, click on "LIVE" switch, then you can create new App. Show client ID and secret that are already enabled (for me). It works for me.

hello and thank you, this way the app has payouts enabled, but my account does not. I cannot enable the account itself.

Italian support closed the question saying that payouts are officially not enabled in Italy and other countries, this it not mentioned anywhere on the documentation and we lost hours of development.

Ok, sorry. Probably you've already checked all of this:

  • confirm identity
  • confirm email
  • link bank account
  • request access to payouts

Sometimes paypal access and verification is very annoying...
