I'm using Paypal Pro API (not the hosted payments) to process my website payments. It works fine with some credit cards and I'm able to finish the payment but for mastercard type I get following error from API:
Value is invalid (must be visa, mastercard, amex or discover)
Please note that I'm using mastercard but still I get that error. Is there any configuration or options in Paypal control panel to enable or disable accepted cards?
The value needs to be MasterCard as opposed to mastercard. It is case sensitive.

I'm currently testing a website made with Woocommerce and Paypal Pro Entension. I'm working with a sandbox bussiness pro account.
Right before the checkout, i got this warning saying :
Pay with your credit card via PayPal Website Payments Pro. TEST/SANDBOX MODE ENABLED. In test mode, you can use the card number 4007000000027 with any CVC and a valid expiration date.
Since I'm in test mode, I am using the given credit card number but when I checkout, it loads...indefinitely. And the transaction never go threw.
Since I dont get any error message, I'm having trouble to find out what causes the problem and theres no "fake money" deposit made in my Paypal Sandbox Bussiness pro account.
Can you help me?
Thanks you.
I've successfully got a payments pro implementation working.
But none of the fields PayPal lists as accepting (in their documentation) allow me to specify a Description value for the payment. As a result, when a person pays by PayPal account and receives a PayPal emailed 'receipt' (despite my PayPal Pro settings set to NOT have PayPal send any receipts) there is a blank under Description.
Are there some fields other than the ones listed in the documentation? Here's the link to the docs I'm working with:

I have a store, based on opencart, and to this day I have two types of payments configured, one is paypal express checkout and the other is paypal website payments pro, for both options I needed to enter info like api password, username and signature, info that is the same for both cases - and double checked - when someone buy something and pay with paypal express checkout it works wonderfully, but when they try to use paypal website payments pro it says that there's a configuration merchant error. Checked and double checked, nothing, re-create the credentials again, nothing, I don't know what else to do I was wondering if someone around had the same error and if there's a solution for this?
Thanks a lot!

Invalid Merchant Configuration means that DoDirectPayment is not enabled on your PayPal account, which means you don't have Payments Pro active.
It could also mean that Pro was approved, but you never agreed to the $30/mo payment. That agreement would show up in your overview when you login to your PayPal account.
Another possibility is that you've been approved for "PayPal Payments Pro 2.0" which uses the PayFlow API instead of the DoDirectPayment API. In that case, DDP would not be enabled on your account and would result in the error you're getting.
Have you been paying the $30/mo to PayPal for Pro?
I am getting this error, can anybody help me. May be I am missing out some steps:
LongMessage: This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration. ShortMessage: Invalid Configuration ErrorCode: 10501

You need to enable "Paypal Payment Pro" or "Paypal Payment advance" service to enable credit card payment on you website.

Error 10501 can occur if using DoDirectPayment API but you do not have PayPal Payments Pro on your account.
If you have Payments Pro on your account but still getting this error, it could be an account setup issue; in that case contact customer support to further investigate.
