Subscriptions payment declined because test card not working

[electo]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a simple subscription payment on sandbox PayPal.
I have a business account on sandbox, with which I have to create a subscription plan.
Furthermore, I have a test user on sandbox with a credit card generated here: Card testing (paypal.com)

Everything works fine but when I get to the payment confirmation I get this message: "Sorry, cannot use your chosen payment method to set up subscription item. Please try other payment method"

I tried using other cards or creating another test user but I always get this same error.

Business user merchand id : L9NYCALBPLJJ2
Test user merchand Id : 896X9F6VX8E7A

Hello @electo,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Sandbox Community. I checked both referenced accounts, and the emails were both unconfirmed. Since this is sandbox, I manually confirmed both emails. You should be able to subscribe to sandbox recurring profiles with no issues.

Thanks,

Jennifer
