Sandbox Internal Server 500 Error

[kbauman]

Using PayPal's sandbox, along with WooCommerce, we get a 500 error from PayPal instead of the regular checkout screen. Everything worked fine yesterday. There is nothing in the response.

Same problem here too. This is clearly a paypal sandbox issue. This works fine on live accounts with exactly the same code but not on sandbox. We can be wasting hours trying to find out if it's our code. Anything from papal about maintenance or outage on the sandbox servers?

It's weird

If I replace:

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"/>

by

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="cart"/>

without underscore ,I don't get the 500err no more...

I tried that too: 

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="s-xclick">

It redirected to a Page Not Found webpage and said that "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks."

Pretty bad and lame from paypal that they dont even bother updating the status or providing more info about the sudden 500 status errors. I would have to consider using PP in future as this type of service is just not acceptable.

Hello,

Apologies for the lack of response on this thread. We've been busy getting this new dedicated sandbox section setup and I'll now be checking it on a daily basis.

Can you let me know if your still experiencing this issue ?

It seems to be working once again. Thank you.

We ended up having to just skip right to production and hope things would work out. It did, but have the sandbox down for such an extended period of time seems pretty bad for a company as large a PayPal.

Hello Team,

I am new to using this PayPal for our development.

The payment buttons generated by PayPal sandbox is not working from last few day and we are having Internal Server Error (500) error in logs.

Previously it worked well for me but I want to test with another client Id, So, After changing my  client Id and access token in my application I am facing 500 error.

Please let us know the exact reason or the solution fo my issue as soon as possible. As we have to push our application to live
