Hi @MTS_Justin could you please check if the 'Reference transactions' is active in my sandbox account? I'm getting an error:
Refused (11547 : Recurring payments feature is not currently available; try again later)
I'm using Adyen. It just for tests.

Hello,
Reference transactions are enabled on all sandbox accounts by default, you don't need to take any further action.
The error you mentioned references "recurring payments", not "reference transactions". Upgrade the sandbox business account to "payments pro", then come back here and let me know the account has been upgraded and I can add recurring payments to the sandbox account.

@MTS_Justin I have enabled my PayPal sandbox account for "payment-pro" however I still see error 11547 for my Adyen test transaction.
Can you please guide me if there any other settings required?
Regards,
Kinjal

I've checked the sandbox account referenced within this thread "AHPPBR2XKGJPA" and this sandbox account has not been upgraded to payments pro.
Follow the guide at the URL below, upgrade the account to payments pro, then come back here an update the thread and I can add recurring payment functionality to the account.
