Unclaimed Status in PayPal - paypal

I am new to PayPal Express checkout development.
My developer account is UK based, when i am trying to capture an order in EUR or USD currency type my order status in the sandbox account is going to an unclaimed status. While the orders in GBP is working fine.
I have gone through the scenarios for which the PP order status goes to unclaimed status,
Is there any configuration to change my developer account to accept all currency modes.
Thanks in advance.

Log in to your PayPal account.
Click Profile at the top of the page.
Click My selling tools.
Click Update in the Block payments section.
Choose No for Block payments sent to you in a currency you don't hold.
Update your settings and click Save.

How can I get PayPal sandbox payments accepted automatically?

I integrate PayPal in my Symfony 4 App, but in sandbox payments still need to validated as we see in the picture behind.
How can I get payments accepted automatically ?
and I'm asking also if in Live mode, I'm going to have the same problem because I didn't have a business account to test it.
Is the issue that the payments are "PENDING"? Is the PayPal sandbox email not confirmed?
Log in with Sandbox account at https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessprofile/settings/email to check and resend any confirmation email
Then log in with Live developer account at https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Fnotifications%2F to read the message notifications and confirm the email
One of the reason of that happens when the currency of the payment is not the same with the Paypal JS loaded script in client size.
So What you don't know that in the script loaded, the default Currency is USD, So you have to specify the currency in this script :
<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?currency=EUR&client-id={{ data['clientId'] }}">
So in this case if the client pays with EUR, the payment is auto-accepted, else, you have to configure the strategy in Settings when you have two different currencies, So you have to login with your Business Account, then go to the Account Settings > Payment preferences > Block Payments.

OpenCart PayPal payment

I've stuck with PayPal Standard payment for OpenCart and found no solution yet.
What I've done:
Created a business account on sandbox.paypal.com
Set up following web preferences:
Auto return (URL specified)
PDT enabled
Enabled IPN (URL specified: http://my.domain.com/index.php?route=payment/pp_standard/callback
Created personal account on sandbox.paypal.com
Set up PayPal Standard extension in OpenCart:
Specified e-mail of the business account created above
Specified PDT token
Specified Sandbox mode
Transaction method - Sale
When I try to pay with PayPal I'm redirected to PayPal and pay proper amount. Then I'm automatically redirected back to my site by URL specified in PayPal business account's settings. So this tells me the payment recipient is recognized by PayPal.
At this point joy ends. In the sending account's activity log I see sending transactions. All of them have status Unclaimed. In the business account's log I see no transactions. In the IPN history I see no IPNs and in the web server's log I see no requests to /index.php?route=payment/pp_standard/callback.
I'm certainly missing something. But I can't figure - what.
In Paypal checkout section in open cart admin panel, go to the general tab of that, you will find test mode option, set it yes. and for debugging mode set it yes. Check your checkout process now. i think it will solve your problem.
I was having a similar issue a while back. For me, it was because the payments being sent to OpenCart were in a different currency to what was held in the Sandbox balance. E.g. OpenCart was sending orders in GBP but the Sandbox holds currency in USD.
I fixed by changing a setting in the Sandbox account.
Profile > My Settings > Block Payments > Click Update
On the page which appears, there is an option "Allow payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold:". I just set that to Yes.

PayPal Automatically authorise incoming payments of a different currency

I am using the PayPal API Express Checkout to process payments for places at our various events. Our PayPal account is in GBP and if we are charging our customers in GBP everything works perfectly.
If we charge our customers in USD the payment response comes back as "Pending" until we log in to PayPal and authorise the payment because of the charge associated with converting from USD to GBP.
Is there a way of automating this? So that it works the same as GBP?
We have thousands of people registering for some of these events so as you can imagine our Accounts Dept do not want to manually authorise all of these payments and then tick the delegates off as paid.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I've been going through all of the PayPal settings with a fine tooth comb since I put this up.
Under Account Settings, click on Payment Receiving Preferences.
Under there one of the options is to "Allow payments sent to me in a currency I do not hold." I changed this setting to Yes accept and it now works fine.
Hope this might help others.

Paypal where to set accept digital goods payment in sandbox

I've been trying this for few days. I've created some seller accounts, one of them I created early this year and it was working fine. Then when I return for this project this March, Paypal changed the API from x.com to developer.paypal.com. The old seller accounts were still working fine and can still accept the digital goods payments from the payer accounts that I created recently, however the new seller accounts, with BUSINESS type, suppose to be able to pay and accept payments got some issues. These newly created seller accounts receive the following warning:
You are not signed up to accept payment for digitally delivered goods.
Doing some research with google, I released I have to set the paypal business account for digital goods. But I can't find where to set it from the new paypal developer control panel. Even when I tried to log in to the sandbox version of paypal.com, using the seller accounts I created in the sandbox, I still can't find where I can set it. In my business setup, there are only two options for me, one is Paypal payments pro and other other is "Virtual Terminal". Any idea? Please help....
I've found the way to add express checkout for digital goods in sandbox, but I think Paypal should pay attention to this because the way I used was very clumsy.
First sign in to sandbox and choose a business account to log in to the sandbox by using the url provided in the Application/Sanbox Accounts. Then use the account that you want to set to accept digital goods checkout to log into the sandbox url, it should be www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/home
After logged in, go to my business setup and pay attention to the setup my payment solution. Click the view all products and you will be redirected to a new page. Please note the url now, the "sandbox" is missing. Now click on the express checkout button, or whatever you want to add to the payment solution, you will be redirected again. Now pay attention to the url, insert "sandbox" to the url, e.g www.paypal.com you have to replace it with www.sandbox.paypal.com, the rest of the url remain the same. Then press enter you will be redirected back to the business setup page. Now you can see your payment solution has become express checkout. It is stupid and I hope paypal can let us choose this directly from the control panel in the near future.
An alternative hides in Profile > My selling tools > API access > Update > At the bottom - Enable Express Checkout.
When I later go to My Account > My Business Setup I see: "Your payment solution: PayPal Digital Goods (Express Checkout)"

PayPal Express Chekout no pay by credit/debit card option

I have a website which is using PayPal Express Checkout as a payment method.
It was working for 2 years without a problem but yesterday I noticed that the payment options are changed before there were 2 payment option presented to the user
Login and pay with PayPal account.
Do not have PayPal account pay by credit/debit card.
But now the second option is replaced by Create a PayPal account. There is no option to pay without having a PayPal account.
I have not changed anything.
Anybody knows why the Pay by credit/debit card is gone.
First make sure in your Paypal/Sandbox account the PayPal Account have
Optional: ON
Go to -->
PayPal account's Profile -> More Options -> My Selling Tools -> Website Preferences screen.
And then set SolutionTypeType to Sole while making request for setExpressCheckout this will enable the option to Pay with your debit or credit card.
And you are done :)
What I know is earlier when you pay with credit card on paypal using express check out API it also create an account for that user and let user process different things like link bank account with paypal or credit card payment.
It is default behavior of paypal express checkout according to their new View
PayPal displays different options for Express Checkout depending upon the COUNTRY selected (it will detect your IP address and set the country if no country is passed to the page). eg Indonesia (etc) forces you to create a Paypal account whereas USA (etc) does not (and provides other options).
