Sandbox - NVP SOAP API (Classic) - Billing Agreement ID

Hello, I am testing NVP SOAP API using the Sandbox. I have created an account in developer.paypal.com and then the NVP SOAP. When I try to create a reference transaction via API (method POST .../nvp), I get error: 

"L_ERRORCODE0": "11451",
"L_SHORTMESSAGE0": "Billing Agreement Id or transaction Id is not valid".

When I looked in docs, I found out that I have to first set the Billing Agreement Id via UI, but I don't see anything there.

 

May you please help me? Any help is highly appreciated!

Hello,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Sandbox Community.

If you comment your Merchant ID from your Sandbox PayPal Account, I can enable Reference Transactions on your Sandbox Account.

You can find your merchant id in your Sandbox Account:

  • Go to https://sandbox.paypal.com
  • Login using your Sandbox Email and Sandbox password
  • Click the settings button to the left of Log Out
  • Click Account Settings
  • Click Business Information
  • Your Merchant ID will display next to PayPal Merchant ID

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

I've enabled that functionality on the account.

Note : This functionality can be enabled on sandbox accounts without prior review, but within our production environment this functionality does have to be requested and a review process occurs to determine if your account is eligible. Just so you're aware.

 

Thanks !

Hi, we are looking to do the same thing, enable reference transactions on our sandbox account.

Please let us know if we can do this on our own or if it needs to be done by you.

Our PayPal Sandbox Merchant ID is GJ6CJZMX2QQVS

 

For the near future, we would like to know what the process would be for enabling reference transactions on an existing production account.
