Hello,

I'm creating a paypal checkout for a client and I've followed pretty much the exact code given here: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/experience

However, when I click on the paypal button, the popup window displays for a brief moment then disappears. The console in chrome shows the following errors:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
props.js:246 Uncaught Error: Error: Request to post https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment failed with 403 error. Correlation id: 71cb81ccc57e5, 71cb81ccc57e5

}

I have supplied the correct sandbox and live client IDs, ad given by my client.

I'm at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated.

The code I'm using is below:

            <div id="paypal-button-container" class="text-center"></div>
            <script>
                paypal.Button.render({

                    env: 'sandbox', // sandbox | production

                    style: {
                        label: 'pay',
                        size:  'medium', // small | medium | large | responsive
                        shape: 'rect',   // pill | rect
                        color: 'gold'   // gold | blue | silver | black
                    },
                    // PayPal Client IDs - replace with your own
                    // Create a PayPal app: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create
                    client: {
                        sandbox:    'AW0YywJAAvREPqpKy_Px5OXozeBVScnjyGy9X54_TzSnZbq1uBYQn5lMQi3CRC-vgUzPH96qullHj699',
                        production: 'ARUNqtNcWkPei05vrxz9YFZGj9wse0o5-8R_NED_vsOuPYrUF4BCcIttpbL5pj4UoNkUaHhTWF7ojIo-'
                    },

                    // Show the buyer a 'Pay Now' button in the checkout flow
                    commit: true,

                    // payment() is called when the button is clicked
                    payment: function(data, actions) {

                        // Make a call to the REST api to create the payment
                        return actions.payment.create({
                            payment: {
                                transactions: [
                                    {
                                        amount: { total: '11.00', currency: 'USD' }
                                    }
                                ]
                            }
                        });
                    },

                    // onAuthorize() is called when the buyer approves the payment
                    onAuthorize: function(data, actions) {

                        // Make a call to the REST api to execute the payment
                        return actions.payment.execute().then(function() {
                            window.alert('Payment Complete!');
                        });
                    }

                }, '#paypal-button-container');

            </script>

Thanks

Daniel

I was able to successfully popup the PayPal express checkout window and complete a checkout flow last week. However since last Wednesday I am starting to get this permission denied error, the PayPal checkout window won't even open. Is there something going on at PayPal side?

I have Exactly the same problem, I implemented Client Side Express Checkout using REST in my tea shop. After that I tested and it works fine.

But now the popup close immediately after opening. In the console : PERMISSION_DENIED

Test link => https://lesthesduchat.com/2018-06-02-paiement.html
I can't understand that behavior and will be very happy to find a solution

I am facing the same issue. It works when I use the clientId shown on their demo page but when I use my own sandbox client id, it fails with this error.

After back and forth with Paypal support, they have identified the problem. When your app negotiate with Paypal through /token api, the token response generated by Paypal shall contain all the valid scope as following:

"scope":"https://uri.paypal.com/services/subscriptions'
'https://api.paypal.com/v1/payments/.*'
'https://api.paypal.com/v1/vault/credit-card'
'https://uri.paypal.com/services/applications/webhooks'
'openid'
'https://uri.paypal.com/payments/payouts'
'https://api.paypal.com/v1/vault/credit-card/.*"'
...

but instead, it returns

{"scope":"https://uri.paypal.com/services/subscriptions
https://api.paypal.com/v1/vault/credit-card openid
https://api.paypal.com/v1/vault/credit-card/.*
...

Even I have enabled all features in Paypal, the token response is still missing the important scopes such as /payment/.*

That is why we are getting permission denied error

Paypal is actively working on the issue. to expedite the fix, maybe you should also file support ticket for the issue.
