@Blackjacx where do you find the debug id please ?

[Blackjacx]

In our case (iOS), we log the error thrown by the Braintree SDK and it contains this ID.

Hello @Blackjacx ,

Thank you for contributing to this Post. I tried to find your PayPal rest api sandbox app and sandbox account associated with this debug id, and I am not able to find it. Can you please provide your Sandbox Merchant ID, so I can add the future payment scopes to your Rest API application.

Thank you,

Hello @Blackjacx ,

Here is how to locate the merchant id for sandbox.

• Log into the developer dashboard at https://developer.paypal.com 
• Click on Testing Tools
• Click on Sandbox Accounts
• Click on the Sandbox Account associated with your Rest API App
• Scroll down to Sandbox account info
• You will see Account ID and that is your Merchant ID

Thank you,
