Hi I am implementing paypal API on my website where different vendors come and sell their products.Currently I am using sandbox environment.Payments are working perfectly using paypal account but payments are not working using Credit Card.Getting following error:
We are sorry, we are experiencing temporary difficulties. Please try again later. If this error occurred while making a payment, avoid duplicate payments by checking your Account Overview before resending a payment.
For some browsers, this problem can be resolved by clearing or
deleting cookies.
Message 6838
Any ideas?
If this is an issue that is happening with every transaction, make certain that you are using live credentials with live endpoints.
If you are using Express Checkout make certain you have the correct API Signature credentials.
Below are two links for going live and correct API Endpoints:
PayPal Developer Site, Going Live
API Endpoints
If this is happening on only a handful of transactions it may be a technical issue.You can submit a ticket to PayPal Merchant Technical Support

While I am using my sandbox credential with test card my code is working fine and response.Status is coming as "approved" but when I try live credential with my real card its throwing "UNAUTHORIZED_PAYMENT" error.
This is the error I got:
{"name":"UNAUTHORIZED_PAYMENT","message":"Unauthorized payment.","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors","debug_id":"c446507b37b6c"}\"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors\",\"debug_id\":\"c0d38fae9eade\"}"
The difference between my sandbox account and live accounts are,
Someone please help me to overcome this issue.
I got the same issue. It is not said load enough while playing with the sandbox, although Paypal knows exactly my Locality.
Anyway, only US and UK developer can use REST API for vaulted credit cards payments.
From that link:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/faq/#international-developer-questions
"The REST API supports a number of countries and currencies. The REST API provides simple payment processing for common business needs, including PayPal payments, direct credit card payments, authorization and capture, and refunds. For more advanced payment solutions such as parallel and recurring payments, you can use the NVP/SOAP APIs."
I am developing a PHP site where you can sign up to a subscription with an initial amount.
I am using the PayPal NVP api as it seems the most comprehensive.
Setting this up with a PayPal user is fine. I am also trying to set this up for credit/debit cards.
When testing in the sandbox I keep getting the following response:
DPRP is disabled for this merchant
I have enabled BUSINESS-pro in the sandbox account as it suggests but I am still getting the error.
There seems to be lots of conflicting information in the developer documentation/ web searches that this functionality is still available for the NVP api service.
If not, can someone point me towards the correct solution or API reference to enable me to do this?
Many Thanks
If you want to use DPRP for sandbox account, you need to contact PayPal technical team to enable it, just submit a ticket at https://www.paypal-techsupport.com/ (click contact support at the bottom), someone will toggle the function for you.
Am shared hosted on Godaddy and have SSL installed and configured.
My cart is OSCommerce 2.3.4.
I have enabled Paypal Express checkout and CCavenue payment gateways.
Problem is After adding products to the cart and checking out, am able to seamlessly go to the payment gateway provider website for making the payment.
After making payment and coming back to merchant website, am getting a new session ID compared to the old one. Obviously, the txn is incomplete. The same thing happens when canceling without making a payment and coming back to the merchant site.
The above problem persists for both the payment gateways.
I tried many tips and tricks suggested by folks on this website and others and nothing seems to work.
Needs assistance pls.
I am building website which requires customer to update paypal account.
Is there anyway to check the reality of customer's account?
When my customer fill out their paypal account in my site, I want them to be directed to paypal login page to login and paypal will return the result.
Does paypal api support this situation?
Pretty much any implementation of PayPal you choose would follow the flow you mentioned.
Payments Standard would allow you to create basic buttons or create an HTML form and POST directly to PayPal to process. It would send the user to PayPal for login and approval to complete the payment. The transaction details would include the payer status (verified or unverified) as well as the address status (confirmed or unconfirmed) and lots of other details about the order.
Express Checkout is basically the API version of Standard, but it's much more advanced and open to integrate in the way that works best for your site or application. In this case, some of buyer/transaction data is available during the process within your app through API requests and responses, and then you can also get to it via transaction details after the fact just like payments standard provides.
Another option would be to use Adaptive Payments, but if you're doing a general payment of any kind you probably don't need that. That's what you would use if/when you start wanting to split payments among multiple receivers within the same transaction, setup preapproval profiles, etc.
If you happen to be working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make the API calls very simple for you.
You could do what PayPal itself does when you register. Send them a few cents and have them tell you how many when they get it. The payment itself will fail if the account doesn't exist, and telling you how many cents proves that they own the account.
I have what seems to be an uncommon situation. I need to accept payments on my website and send them to various merchants that do their business though my app.
So the payment flow is:
Payer -> My App -> My Customer
This flow seems to be exactly facilitated by paypal's adaptive payments api and while I have pored over all their integration guides, there doesn't seem to be any documentation for even simple email to account verification.
My question is, how can I verify that an email belongs to a verified paypal business account, or perform some other hand shake verification? Is there a way to do that, or even a good workaround? Thanks!
Found this API endpoint today:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/adaptive-accounts/GetVerifiedStatus_API_Operation/
It seems to do what I wanted, and it at least indirectly test account existence and definitely tests the verified status.
One caveat that I would add for posterity is that in sandbox mode, you may only test against sandbox accounts that you have created for your app.
