Hello, When a payment request is sent to PayPal. It is up to the merchant to provide either the delivery address to PayPal and/or to make the delivery address filling mandatory to complete the transaction. Depending of your integration (Express Checkout, Website Payment standard, etc) this could take different form, for example : - Express Checkout (NVP) : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/#addresstype-fields - Website Payment standard (HTML buy now button) : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/#auto-fill-paypal-checkout-page-variables Is this answering your question? Was my reponse helpful? Please, do not hesitate to leave a Kudo to help other people who might have the same situation finding this reply ... View more

  Hello @mintellity,   I will advise you to send  "payment_method": "paypal" as payment method.

Hello @AlexKorznyakov,   If your integration works using checkout.js library without using the iframe button, you are not in breach with PayPal policy and you can perfectly use your own button design.   However, this iframe button is has been designed to work in your own benefit.  Indeed, using this Iframe button help customers to get used to an unified "feel" when they go an pay with PayPal and this may help your customer conversion rate toward PayPal.   I hope my answer was helpful.   Regards ...

Hello, Issues with sandbox account creation have now been resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience. ... View more

Hello,   When you try to log in to pay using your buyer account, does the URL of PayPal website starts with www.sandbox.paypal.com ? - If it does, it means that your website is indeed configured to use sandbox and I therefore invite you to try and create a new buyer account to check if the issue does not come from your current buyer account (you can do it using https://developer.paypal.com in the Sandbox -> accounts section) - If it does not, it means that your website uses PayPal live environment and therefore you will not be able to test using sandbox account credential (you will then need to find the "TEST mode" or "Sandbox mode" in your back-office and enable it).   If the issue persist, I would suggest that you try to uninstall and re-install PayPal module on your Prestashop back-office to avoid any Potential configuration issue.   However, if the issue persist and you can't configure your PayPal module on your back-office. I would suggest that you contact the developer of the module for additionnal help on their module's configuration (you can contact them directly on the module's page, on the "contact the developer" link : https://addons.prestashop.com/en/payment-card-wallet/1748-paypal-braintree-official.html )     ...

Hello,   Direct Payment Recurring Payment would only be possible using a Website Payment Pro account which are only available in United Kingdom, Canada and United State as we speak.  Source : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/howto_product_matrix/   For more information on which product you would be able to use from your country, I invite you to contact PayPal customer support (you can find their number here : https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/contact-us)   However, simple recurring payment profile creation (for monthly subscription for example) does not require a Website Payment Pro account to be used.   ...

Hello,   As you have the same issue of one of the fellow member of this forum, I will put the same recommendation below, don't hesitate to reply if those did not solve your issue :   This error is normally linked to a variable that has one of the following causes :  - Wrong format/ strange characters (blackslashes, magic quote for example) - Problem with the length of variable sent (each variable has a specific maximum length and it is important to stay under this limit) - Decimal separator issue (you have to use the dot "." to indicates decimal value and not a comma). - It is recommanded also to send the variables using the POST method and not directly appending the variables on the URL for the redirection (this could lead to issue due to URL escape and/or interpretation of your return/cancel/notify url parameters). - When sending a language and/or country, be careful to send a value accepted by PayPal . -- For the country variable : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/country_codes/ -- For the lc variable (localecode) : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/locale_codes/   All the information about variable limitation can be found here : https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-gui...   The issue here seems to be linked to your integration as a simple button does not provoke the issue on sandbox when I tested. Some sample HTML button code can be found here : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/html_example_bu...   ... View more

Hello Aaronvsion,   You can create customised billing plan that will bill the customer at a choosen interval (every 1-2-3...6 months is possible).   The following page gives an example of integration using REST API with a frequency interval of 2 Months (the buyer will be billed every two months)   https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/billing-plans-and-agreements/   The following page explains also how to integrate Billing Plans : https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/billing-plans-and-agreements/#integration-steps-bpa       ...

Hi,   This error can come from different scenario. This error means that the API user used on the request does not have enough permission to do a refund.    This error can for example be triggered when :  - The API caller that made the Refund request is a different one than the one who did the original capture. - If you use a third party permission system, you may have not granted the permission to refund to the API caller on the PayPal account Third party permission list.   I invite you to check those configuration to see if the issue came from here. ...
