The account which is receiving the transaction is currently limited and this issue needs to be resolved before the transaction can be completed.

Hi @MTS_Justin ,
Thank you for doing what you do and helping all of us!
I need a little help...
The sandbox tests worked just fine, but now I keep receiving this error when processing a live transaction:

[L_SEVERITYCODE0] => Error

What are your thoughts on how to fix this issue?
Thank you Sir!

It appears that the DirectPayment API wasn't enabled on your account when you made the attempt on the 17th May, but from checking your account I see it has since been enabled.
Can you please make a new attempt today and let me know the result ?
Thanks !
