PayPal Sandbox Blank Address Error - paypal

I just recently started working with the PayPal API to start processing credit cards for a client and have run into an odd issue. I managed to get everything mostly working (the 400 Bad Request error that is all over SO is still outstanding for me) minus one thing. When I try to run a CC against the sandbox area with nothing specified for line 2 of the address I see the following error get logged:
Error Response: {"name":"VALIDATION_ERROR","details":[{"field":"payer.funding_instruments[0].credit_card.billing_address.line2","issue":"Must not be blank"}],"message":"Invalid request - see details","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#VALIDATION_ERROR","debug_id":"cbaa2c4dfdb77"}
Why would address 2 be required? Their own documentation (https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/) says it isn't so I'm completely lost here.
This is using the RestAPISDK library downloaded from their GitHub instance and everything I'm doing is in C#.

When you have a blank value in a REST API call it will return an error. It isn't required to provide a line2 value but if you include the variable with a blank value the system will flip out. Remove the variable entirely and you should be good to go.

How to simulate and debug PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED?

we are integrating the Paypal-API for Paypal-Checkout and came about the possebility that Paypal might return a PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED-error (see https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#error-PAYER_ACTION_REQUIRED).
We now want to see if our understanding and implemented handling of this error is correct, but we couldn't find a way to provoke this error intentionally in the sandbox to debug our code. How is it done?
We tried to use a card-number from this page:
https://developer.paypal.com/tools/sandbox/card-testing/#rejection-triggers
and tried to use a "rejection trigger", but either we get "the name contains invalid characters"- or "the credit-card data is not valid"-messages, but the Paypal-Window is never leaved so none of these errors hits our code.
Any ideas?
See the guide for integrating 3D Secure, which is what returns this status. It's particularly necessary for processing cards from Europe with an Advanced Credit and Debit Cards integration.
If you are using the Standard integration, you do not need to be concerned about 3DS as it's taken care of by PayPal.

error: Failed to run the post merge process

I'm trying to generate documents using conga composer 8 from apex code but its failing with error Failed to run the post-merge process. I have looked into url and its same as the one I used initially in another salesforce org. I couldn't find any help online or on conga-composer form.
Here is my conga endpoint URL:

Any insight what might be causing this issue.
I had the same problem and was able to solve it using permissions. In this case make sure the user id whose sessionID is passing to Conga has the correct CRUD access to the primary object in your conga call (id=a1J410000012BwS). My guess is that this is something to do with Conga not being able to write the attachment back to salesforce.
Apart from what Greg has mentioned, there are 2 more observations for this error:
Under Email Administration -> Deliverability -> Access to Send Email (All Email Services) should be set to All email.
In case you are using the EmailTemplateId parameter then the classic email template must be available for use.
Also mostly this error is also because of some discrepancy in the URL.

Facebook API returns empty response only from specific IP

Suddenly simple Facebook Graph API calls started to return an empty result. The node I'm calling is a simple search page by name:
`https://graph.facebook.com/search?type=page&fields=profile_picture,username,id,name,likes,category,talking_about_count&access_token=<APP_TOKEN>&limit=10&q=stackoverflow`
It just started to return an empty result set when called from my server:
{"data":[]}
When I'm calling it from my personal computer browser, it works just fine.
I don't see any notification in Facebook Manage Apps page. What can be the reason? Is there any way I can see any error in this Graph API result?
UPDATE: suddenly it started working again, after it was down for at least 2 hours. Is there any way I can make these calls through client side JS? Any way to avoid to exposure of my APP_TOKEN?
UPDATE2: It stopped working again, and although I haven't identified the reason, I did figure when replacing the with a , it does work. The documentation actually says to use an APP_TOKEN.

Paypal shows old version error on express check out , I got my page run first but now shows this error

I doing paypal express checkout in jsp on sandbox with out using the sdk I am getting the ACK as sucess when generating the token after that when i redirected to sandbox now it shows error message on sandbox as
You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.
This is the Ack response i got
TOKEN=EC%2d5PT30649GD612951T&TIMESTAMP=2012%2d03%2d04T16%3a44%3a18Z&CORRELATIONID=4ed0e9de9ec8a&ACK=Success&VERSION=84%2e0&BUILD=2571254
I decoded the response using URLDecoder and redirected to the sandbox
if (ack.equals("Success")) { String logurl = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=express-checkout&token="+token;
response.sendRedirect(logurl);
}
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and answers
If you are receiving this error, it is best to check the url you are redirecting.
Documentation says that the URL is
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout
Careful with the _express-checkout part. If you are using an ide (like Visual Studio) that marks the urls as links, you might think that it is a space (as it becomes invisible) and at the first error you encounter, you might delete the underscore char.
I got it working and I am answering because i found many one have same error This error occurs mainly due to any of the samll errors or changes in your NVP if you are using it.
I think This link will be helps , deals with "You have requested an outdated version of PayPal"

Magento Strange Redirect Behaviour on OnePage Checkout

My Magento Verison is - 1.4.1.1
I am having two problems:
1) When I am going through various steps of Onepage checkout (registration, billing, shipping, and payment tabs), sometimes during this process I am redirected to the cart page. There is no error, no exception, no report gets generated in var/report. I dont know how to debug it. Aren’t there any logs I can look for?
2) In same Onepage Checkout process after clicking on place the order (last step) , some times it redirects to the cart page, sends an email saying that the order failed with the message:
Quote totals must be collected before this operation.
To resolve it I commented this line in prepareRecurringPaymentProfiles in the file magento/app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote.php, which solved the problem:
throw new Exception("Quote totals must be collected before this operation.");
I dont know if these 2 problems are related or not. But I am not having the 2nd problem now but having 1st one quite frequent. What could be the reason and how to resolve it?
further update-I checked the firebug trace, It is 500 internal server error which comes sometimes in any of the step in one page checkout. I was able to dig down into savebillingaction, saveshippingaction functions in onepagecontroller.php and found that error comes when $this->getRequest()->isPost() is blank , If it is 1 then it goes ahead, and goes to the next step else it redirects to cart, No I dont know why this is not 1 or is it because ajax is not able to send post data but I checked XHR request, Ajax send the post data every time (checked with firebug extension). Can Someone tell me What I could do next to troubleshoot. Where I can look for these Ajax Calls?
Shipping.phtml (any step.phtml) has JS at the bottom , How does it call OnePagecontroller saveshippingaction function ?
Since it's internal server error, try to access the error log of the server. Will tell you where is the problem. I' ve had the same problem in 1.7.0. In my example the problem was at /app/code/core/Mage/Usa/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Fedex.php
For anyone else coming across the "Quote totals must be collected before this operation." error, check your Apache logs for the reason of the 500 internal server error. If it's something like this:
mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
Premature end of script headers: index.php
process 26126 graceful kill fail, sending SIGKILL
..PHP is taking too long to respond. Usually its the onepage/checkout saveOrder action because it's quite heavy and often needs to connect to third party services (payment gateways, newsletter services like mailchimp, etc.). These calls to third party services can take a while, depending on the network state and might be the reason of PHP timing out.
You can start by increasing the timeout, but it's not a good permanent solution because you want to find out why this is happening in the first place.
New Relic is a good tool to monitor these calls (and a good tool to monitor your Magento store in general).
Firstly, commenting an error message is almost never the way to solve a problem, as you are just covering up some issue that may have severe consequences for your system.
Nailing down errors like this can be hard, but there are a few places to look first:
Did you install this system on a lower version and then upgrade? If so, how?
Are you using any extensions that modify the sales/checkout portion of the site?
Have you overridden any of the models concerned with this part of the site?
Have you changed the JS or HTML for the checkout?
If one of those is the case, you should review those changes for bugs. If not, try turning on the default theme for the site and checking out again. If the bug disappears, there is a problem with the theme that you are using. If it still appears, the problem is in code.
In that latter case, use Firebug to verify that the offending page requests result in Magento sending back "redirect" commands to the frontend. If that isn't the case, it may be some kind of JS error, but more likely you are ending up with invalid data in the system somewhere that causes Magento to choke during checkout.
Also (just thought of this, haven't tried it), try the multi-address checkout. As I recall, it uses regular page posts, and may even have more useful messaging than the OnePage checkout. Please edit your post with your findings from the above so that we can help more if that doesn't do it.
Hope that helps!
Just in case someone gets the "Quote totals must be collected before this operation." error, and none of these solutions fixes their particular problem, I'll mention that mine was an issue with this:
skin/frontend/base/default/js/opcheckout.js
var params = Form.serialize(payment.form);
There was a JS error unique to this site which was clearing the Payment form and preventing JS from reading it's contents. The module or theme that you use will differ, but check to make sure that the payment form can serialize correctly. If not, then that could be your problem.
I had the very same problem on my store Princessly:
It takes about 20 to 130 seconds or even longer for "Submitting order information ..." to go through and redirect to the payment gateway such as PayPal, if at all, after clicking the Place Order button, last step of one page checkout.
If it doesn't go through, very probably because something timed out since it took too long, it will redirect back to shopping cart, leaving the customer an empty cart and a Pending Payment order, OR, it will give the exception of:
Quote totals must be collected before this operation.
Since obviously, well, something timed out and the script ends before quote totals are collected (which is just my theory), thus sending the Payment Transaction Failed Reminder email.
After 12 hours of research and debug, I finally found the culprit and the solution.
Magento enables RSS stock and new order notification by default, so every time Place Order is pressed ('sales/order' resources are then saved), cache is refreshed so RSS will be published. Cache cleaning can be very time-expensive for Magento. Therefore the solution is simple. Just disable RSS notification for save of 'sales/order' resources.
Find /app/code/core/Mage/Rss/etc/config.xml and locate this block:
<sales_order_item_save_after>
<observers>
<notifystock>
<class>rss/observer</class>
<method>salesOrderItemSaveAfterNotifyStock</method>
</notifystock>
</observers>
</sales_order_item_save_after>
<sales_order_item_save_after>
<observers>
<ordernew>
<class>rss/observer</class>
<method>salesOrderItemSaveAfterOrderNew</method>
</ordernew>
</observers>
</sales_order_item_save_after>
Simply remove or comment it out and refresh Magento cache in System => Cache Management => Select All => Submit.
Now it only takes 1 second or even less for my store to go through Place Order and redirect to payment gateway.
