The error when trying to get billing agreement token for not US locations

[DWdeveloper]

Hello, we are receiving such a PayPal error when trying to get a billing agreement token for non-US locations (like IT, etc.) for sandbox account “FTGXC96R23DHS”.

{ "name": "BUSINESS_ERROR", "debug_id": "97162070ca8f2", "message": "Business error", "information_link": "https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#BUSINESS_ERROR", "details": [ { "name": "UNAUTHORISED ACCESS", "message": "Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions. Invalid Scopes" } ] }

Could you please check if any additional settings are required from your side or advise us on how to fix this issue?

Having the same exact issue - the only difference being that the location is U.S  I do have a few sandbox accounts - one of them being a "zombie" that I cannot seem to delete.

Hello @DucorpsToo,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Sandbox Community. There was a recent update that is requiring the Future Payments scope to be added to the sandbox app. I was able to locate your Sandbox Rest API app associated with this sandbox account YUTQ9R23P7PPJ, and add the scope.

You should be able to process Billing Agreement API now.

Thank you,

Jennifer

Hi,

I am getting authentication error when trying to void an authorization request on Paypal sandbox environment.

Error message: "Authorization failed due to insufficient permissions"

I am getting successful response for token generation, creating an order and authorize payment requests. I got below response for void authorization:

Hello @DWdeveloper,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community.

There was a recent update for Sandbox Rest API apps that require the future payment scope to be added to the app.

I was able to locate your Sandbox Rest API app associated with this sandbox account FTGXC96R23DHS, and add the scope. You should be able to process Billing Agreements with no issues.

Thank you,
