Sandbox works but live => INVALID_RESOURCE_ID

[feelinlovelynow]

Greetings!

I have been using Sandbox successfully for a couple weeks via https://www.npmjs.com/package/@paypal/paypal-js

Sandbox => Click buttons => Create Order

Sandbox => Post Create Order => Update Client Config

I just switched to live using these instructions https://developer.paypal.com/reference/production/#link-obtainyourlivecredentials

On the live site when I click buttons this is the request sent @ /create-order

URL: https://api-m.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders

Params:

{
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Accept: 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    Authorization: 'Bearer removed'
  },
  body: `{"intent":"CAPTURE","purchase_units":[{"reference_id":"d00cb4bf-84f8-4544-86b1-dfc87cc5770e","description":"Feeling Lovely Now Online Store Purchase","amount":{"currency_code":"USD","value":"94.83","breakdown":{"item_total":{"value":"81.00","currency_code":"USD"},"shipping":{"value":"6.00","currency_code":"USD"},"tax_total":{"value":"7.83","currency_code":"USD"}}},"items":[{"sku":"0xfffd8d6ad3a1ea04","quantity":3,"name":"Size: L 100% Organic Cotton Gold Metatron's Cube + Fruit of Life Embroidery Men's T-Shirt Black","unit_amount":{"currency_code":"USD","value":"27.00"}}]}],"payment_source":{"paypal":{"experience_context":{"locale":"en-US","landing_page":"LOGIN","user_action":"PAY_NOW","brand_name":"Feeling Lovely Now","payment_method_selected":"PAYPAL","shipping_preference":"GET_FROM_FILE","payment_method_preference":"IMMEDIATE_PAYMENT_REQUIRED"}}}}

@ Live => Click buttons => Create Order

@ Live => Post Create Order => Update Client Config

Here is the full error

{
  "errors":[
    {
      "data":{
        "message":"The specified resource does not exist."
      },
      "message":"RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND",

          }
        ]
      }
    },
    "correlationId":"f4397533eb9ab"
  }
}

In the live version the request sent @ /create-order to https://api-m.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders is not the sandbox url but for some reason all the requests made by paypal in the network tab after /create-order are to the sandbox url, failing with the error above and I don't know why yet

/create-order => https://github.com/feelinglovelynow/feelinglovelynow/blob/main/src/routes/paypal/create-order/%2Bser...

apiPayl => https://github.com/feelinglovelynow/feelinglovelynow/blob/main/src/lib/store/apiPaypal.ts

frontend load script => https://github.com/feelinglovelynow/feelinglovelynow/blob/main/src/lib/store/PaypalCheckout.ts

Good day @feelinlovelynow 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.

This looks like an issue with your internal website code, which is triggering API calls to "Sandbox Endpoint" environment.

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/requests/

The URL to the API service is either:

• Sandbox. https://api-m.sandbox.paypal.com
• Live. https://api-m.paypal.com

PayPal system is a payment gateway, which will receive the payment request payload (i.e Payment and Item details, Shipping details, Invoice number, Amount details etc.) from merchant websites(built via third party platforms eCommerce ) and process the payments accordingly.

Merchants should handle their internal website code and pass the appropriate payment API calls to PayPal system.

I would suggest to please contact your website developer or the third party eCommerce support. Please ensure that when making API calls in a LIVE environment, you are using the correct LIVE  REST API Credentials(Client ID & Secret) .

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/postman/ 

https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/

If your still facing issues, please create an MTS ticket via - https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US  with the detailed information and error details.

Sincerely,

Kavya
