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?

Hello @odoihc,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community. Per your request, I have added future payments to the app associated with this sandbox account: YWM72E6THREF2.

Future payments scope is only needed if you are processing V1 Billing Agreements api. If you are using Save Payment Methods, which uses Vault API, you do not need to have the Future payments scope added to your rest api app.

Reference Transactions is not automatically enabled on live PayPal Accounts, so any live account requires Reference Transactions to be enabled, and the Future payments scope to be added to the live application. To get Future payments scope added to a live account, you will need to reach out by choosing contact us at this URL: https://www.paypal-techsupport.com/s/?language=en_US

Thank you,

Hi @danwall1 

Thank you for contributing to the PayPal Merchant Community.

I have added the needed Future Payments Scopes to the Sandbox Rest API app associated with the debug id provided. You should now be able to process payments.

Hello @limio-user 

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community. Can you please provide your debug id or the merchant id for your sandbox business account? Once I have this information, I can locate your Rest API App and add the needed scopes.

Thank you,

We are experiencing the same issue as well with our sandbox app. We need the scope added.

How do we do this? It seems like there should be a way to do this without requesting it via a community forum.

Hi @JonoEmma ,

Thank you for posting to the PayPal Merchant Community. I have enabled your sandbox rest api app for Future Payments/Reference Transactions. You should now be able to process payments.
