REST | 403 | No permission for the requested operation

[Twinbird24]

I have a website that uses express checkout. I followed the docs to get it set up, and everything worked fine up until now (the sandbox account could make/receive payments). Now, I'm not able to make API calls to the sandbox to test the PayPal checkout on my website. I get the following error message when I click the "PayPal Checkout" button: 

Error: Error: Request to post https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment failed with 403 error.

Correlation id: ef45a9e652c21, ef45a9e652c21

{
  "name": "PERMISSION_DENIED",
  "message": "No permission for the requested operation",
  "information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors",
  "debug_id": "ef45a9e652c21"
}

I've changed nothing with the code on my website, and I'm not sure what to do to prevent this error.

Hello,

I posted earlier in this thread --

"I'll update this thread once the issue is resolved or I have an update to share"

The issue hasn't been resolved and there is no update of significance to share at this time. We're working on the issue and hope to have a resolution soon, but cannot commit to any specific time-frame.

Once I have an update to share, I'll update this thread.

Hello,

I may have a workaround whilst we work on this issue internally, but I need a volunteer or two to share the client_id for their app ( sandbox client_id) and then conduct a test transaction after I made a change to the application permissions.

** Note ** I cannot make this change on production / live client_id's - Only sandbox client_id's will be accepted

Let me know if your interested in testing this workaround.

Mine is working in live mode as well as sandbox mode.

Good job, well done!

Do I send my ID on this forum or private message?

Whats the workaround?

Have you reverted the update to Sandbox? As of this morning I still have this problem and still only with a new account. My older account sandbox is still working.

Hi Justin!
