I am integrating paypal checkout 2.0 on my website, but when I enter my credit card to test I realize that paypal does an incorrect currency conversion from any currency to dollars, which ends up giving the client a price lower than what you are actually going to pay, please update the exchange rates on a daily basis to avoid this error
See the picture! ↓↓↓↓ to understand the problem! ↓↓↓↓
ok, I found my problem, when passing the api to real mode the currency exchange is fixed, I hope it can help someone XD

I have configured Paypal Payflow Pro and it's working with real paypal credit card details but while using with test mode with American express it throws below error:
declined 10759 : Please use another payment card
what is exact issue , i am not able to trace it !
The cards provided at that URL might have been used so much in TEST mode that they simply don't work anymore.
Instead, generate fresh numbers using the link http://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com/ when you need them. Any number generated there will work with any security code and valid expiration date.
You may be best served contacting PayPal support to trouble shoot because we could be declining for any number of reasons (possibly related to the card itself).
Paypal sandbox acts weirdly:
I make payment of 700 RUB(Russian currency) to USD Seller account.
700 RUB in the real world is something around 10 USD, but when I make this payment in sandbox I got the conversion to 22.55 USD. I would understand difference +/-10%, but this is more than double the real price. Unfortunately I can't test such conversion on the real paypal accounts now, but paypal guy says that "the currency conversion you see in Sandbox accurately reflects our rates at that time." - https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Selling-on-your-website/Completely-inaccurate-currency-conversion/td-p/184328?profile.language=en-gb
So how is it possible and what is the problem? Did anyone have this issue?
There's an API you can use to get the real time conversion rate that PayPal uses https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/adaptive-payments/ConvertCurrency_API_Operation/
When checking out from big cartel, it directs me to paypal however when I add the discount code in bigcartel in the paypal summary the shipping is determined from the base price not after the discounted price.
Can someone help me please?
it sounds like this could be an issue with your Big Cartel or PayPal shipping settings. This site is a Q&A site for programmers, so you'll have the best luck with emailing Big Cartel support. http://bigcartel.com/contact
I've spent about an hour trying to figure out what information to use to test credit card transactions in the PayPal Sandbox environment. No matter what I try I get the "Invalid Data This transaction cannot be processed." error. I'm using the Classic API.
I created a personal verified account with a Visa credit card in my developer account but the credit card information generated by the system yield the same error. Here's a screen of the account:

After searching I found this post https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/forums/paypal-sandbox/how-test-sandbox-paypal-using-pay-credit-card I then logged into that Sandbox account, went to Profile > Credit/Debit Cards > Add a Card, chose Visa but the credit card number wasn't pre-populate as I had hoped. Here's a screen:

I'm really at a loss now. Any help would be really appreciated :)
P.S. I've already tried the cliche test numbers like 4444333322221111 but nothing seems to work.
Try using some of these test credit card numbers. If it still does not work can you provide the API request you are sending, and the full API response you are getting back and I will look it up on my side and see whats causing the issue.
Visa Test Card Numbers - You can use 123 for the CVV2, and any valid future date for the exp date.

I've come here in a bid to try and solve what seems like a blackhole that nobody in paypal can help us with.
We've a business account. Paypal Express (digital goods). Verified, restrictions lifted etc...
We've got paypal express integrated fine as our sole payment method. But there's a problem. ANY paypal account funded by a credit card will just flat out fail and give a 10417 error.
Overview
Customer A has an existing paypal balance of $10
Customer B has an existing paypal balance of $0 but has their account
funded by credit card.
Customer A has no problems on our site with any transaction below $10.
Customer B gets an error upon payment. More specifically, a 10417 error.
Now before anyone says it, we have checked with card issuers etc... so we're 100% sure this is not an error with cards or banks (as the 10417 error tends to suggest). We've literally tested this with a dozen verified / clean paypal accounts in different countries with different card types & different issuing banks. All of them fail and sandbox gives us no clues either...
Can anyone throw us a bone here or think of any possible reason this could be happening? It would be much appreciated...
Update: Resolved: Turns out it was a problem with our account and more specifically our category of industry. It would have helped of course had someone told me that the half a dozen or so times I called over the past week - yesterday on the phone i asked an agent if she was 100% certain this was a problem with a customers card, bank or billing address. I knew it wasn't so i wanted just to see if she'd commit to it. Her response - "yes sir, i'm 100% certain". Sums it all up. Hopefully this will help someone else out there... if you're getting 10417 errors, try changing the business category or subcategory in a bid to stop you going insane...
Ran into the exact same issue, paypal support was not very helpful
Turns out the problem was the business URL was set to http instead of https
Our business website redirects from http -> https, but this redirect seems to cause a problem at checkout for paypal
Once we changed the business url, customers were able to proceed with payments
Solution:
Log in to paypal
Navigate to https://www.paypal.com/businessprofile/settings/info/edit
Edit the business profile and make sure "Business URL" is set to https://
