Dear @MTS_Justin ,
Could you please check if reference transaction are enabled on my sandbox account (the merchant ID is S82PLVD5D33EL)?
I find out that reference transaction are enabled for all new sandbox accounts (https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Sandbox-Environment/Enable-reference-transactions/m-p/2395764#M7...)
But I see that many people are still asking you enable this access for their sandbox accounts.
In particular in my case I try to authorize payment using order ID and previous transaction ID (as described here https://developer.paypal.com/docs/business/checkout/advanced-card-payments/reference-transactions/) and receive 422 code:
{
"name": "UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY",
"details": [
{
"field": "/payment_source/token/id",
"value": "2NK78427SL2240406",
"location": "body",
"issue": "TOKEN_ID_NOT_FOUND",
"description": "Specified token was not found. Verify the token and try the request again."
}
],
"message": "The requested action could not be performed, semantically incorrect, or failed business validation.",
"debug_id": "a8210b0a94b76",
"links": [
{
"href": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-TOKEN_ID_NOT_FOUND",
"rel": "information_link",
"method": "GET"
}
]
}
Is it due to reference transaction access are disabled or other reason?
Thank you for you assistance.
