Hi,

I am getting an issue when I am changing my paypal sandbox credentials to Live. I am changing client-id and secret and I have also verified these.
Following output i am getting:-

{#311 ▼
+"name": "AUTHORIZATION_ERROR"
+"message": "Authorization error occurred."
+"debug_id": "537e1700ead9e"
+"information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/#errors"
+"links": []
}

Thanks in advance

Hello,

When you create a REST application, by default our "sandbox" environment is the chosen environment in which the app will be created. Credentials from a sandbox app will only work in our sandbox environment.

If you want to generate a "client_id" and "client_secret" which can be used in our production environment, you will need to create a "live" app instead, but moving the toggle / switch on the REST app creation page from "sandbox" to "live".

Once the environment has been changed to "live", create a new REST app and the "client_id" and "client_secret" within the app will work in our production environment.

Thanks !
