Hi Comunity,

any one found an answer to this problem with the the Javacript SDK not working for the data-client-token, whihc as per the Javascript SDK says you can add as in paypal example below...

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?components=hosted-fields,buttons&client-id=<clinet-id>" data-client-token="<token>"></script>

Need to have this working so I can send a Client token to the IPN page to then link to clients buying services.

PAYPAL - Please reply to this as this has been on your comunity bord since 2020 1 and half years and you have not replied or helped!!!!!!!

Mabe it can help.

I've had the same problem.
I've change the POST cURL to obtain the Access Token putting the "grant_type":"client_credentials" in the post body instead of query parameter and now it works fine.

I have had the same problem, and been trying to figure it out all day...

In my case I rushing through the docs and mistakenly populating <YOUR-CLIENT-TOKEN> with <ACCESS-TOKEN>

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?components=buttons,hosted-fields&client-id=<YOUR-CLIENT-ID>" data-client-token="<YOUR-CLIENT-TOKEN>"></script>

so I need to make 2 curl requests 1 to make an <ACCESS-TOKEN> then use the <ACCESS-TOKEN> to make a second curl request

to generate a <YOUR-CLIENT-TOKEN>

Hope this helps any future devs that find this post

I too was struggling like hell to solve this, but finally after reading the documentation 1000 times I got to know where I was facing the issue.

In order to get the  data-client-token value, we need to invoke 2 APIs:

1. https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token  : This retrieves the access token
(Refer this for more information: Get Access Token) 

2. Then using the access token, we can retrieve the client token using the following API

https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/identity/generate-token 

(Refer this for more information: Generate Client Token )

Now the use the client token in the script 
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?components=buttons,hosted-fields&client-id=<Client ID>" data-client-token="<Client Token from Step 2>"></script>

Paypal documentation surely needs to be improved!!!
