I am facing security header error while integrating paypal, the paypal integration works fine with sandbox environment and credentials but it is not working with live.
Is there any specific configuration i need to make in paypal as i am using paypal apis for integration.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
That error message would typically only show when the credentials are incorrect.
Could you please double check that there's no extra space characters in the credentials and that you're using the credentials for the correct mode you're using (Live vs. Sandbox)?
If it is set to Sandbox mode, you must use your Paypal sandbox credentials. The live ones will not work in Sandbox mode.
That error message indicates that your API credentials aren't being accepted by PayPal.
Common causes:
1. You have your PayPal module configured to "Sandbox" but have not used Sandbox API credentials.
2. You have your PayPal module configured to "Live" but have not used Live API credentials.
3. You have mis-typed one or more API credentials entries, including but not limited to leaving trailing spaces.
4. You have deleted and/or recreated new API credentials in your PayPal account but have not copied those new credentials back to your store.

I have created an business account through sandbox.paypal.com. I'm currently trying to verify it so that I can accept payments, but it's refusing to accept any bank accounts I enter. I've also tried to create accounts through the developer portal, but those keep throwing an error and telling me to try again no matter what I do.
Any ideas on how I can make this work?
Thanks!
PayPal will recommend you to create a sandbox account from developer portal, I am able to create sandbox account from my developer portal. Please try to use different web browsers by removing cookies and cache. If you are still receiving an error from developer portal. Then file an MTS ticket at PayPal MTS portal with the error message screenshot, error page source code. Then you will get an assistance from PayPal MTS engineers directly. You may provide the unverified sandbox account (sandbox account was created via sandbox.paypal.com flow ) email address to the MTS team for getting that as verified account.
I have a website that I'm trying to hook paypal up to with a php script. php builds the query string and then submits to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr with the query string attached. I can verify that this works fine. I haven't processed a payment but it directs to PayPal with the correct quantities and prices, etc.
However when I change to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr I get an error when I try to process that says there was a problem with the merchants PayPal account.
I have created several test accounts on PayPal sandbox but from what I can tell looking around it seems I need another merchant account in the sandbox? If so, I don't see how to do this. I'm guessing I need to change the "?business=mycode" portion of the query string but I don't know how to figure out what to change it to...
Anyway I looked around a while and can't find the answer, can anyone help or direct me to another post that answers this (I looked but couldn't find it, or at least didn't understand it if I did)?
When changing back from live to sandbox, all you should need to change if using a non hosted button is the URL to reflect the environment that you are trying to test with and the value of the business variable. This can be set to either your email address of the actual test or live seller account or the merchant id. If you have not already created an account for testing. You can do so by going to PayPal's Developer Site, and creating a developer account. Then once you have done this, you can log into the developer account and go to the Applications tab. Once on this page, click the link for sandbox accounts on the left, and create a preconfigured test seller account. This will generate an email address linked to a test account. This will be the email address that you will need to use. If this doesn't work, can you provide the string that you are submitting over to PayPal or the button code that you are using and I will take a look at it.
There is error in API key for sandbox testing in Paypal... It is due to corrupt key generation which is not properly decoded on sandbox server when you send a purchase request.
I tried using following sandbox public credentials and it works fine for me
username: sdk-three_api1.sdk.com
password: QFZCWN5HZM8VBG7Q
key: A-IzJhZZjhg29XQ2qnhapuwxIDzyAZQ92FRP5dqBzVesOkzbdUONzmOU
however I tried several times using the sandbox merchant account that i have created myself.... but was unable to ACK success.
I am doing express checkout transaction and when I am logging in to my Sandbox Account it gives me an error:
This Sandbox email address is not available. Please enter another
email address
Currently Paypal have launched new API.
Also only SDK's beta version available.
For now Sandbox account is down so you can't access or test using them.
I think paypal is giving you the correct error message, sandbox will only allow you to login with the email address that is related to your sandbox credential email.
Make sure the address in the address bar is reflecting the sandbox URL and not the live site URL. Also you might try clearing your cookies and cache prior to opening up your browser and logging into developer.paypal.com. There have been some issues that are causing login issues and clearing cookies and cache has resolved some of these.
To begin: I am trying to setup Zencart with Paypal. I have followed all of Paypal and Zencart's instructions:
Putting in Paypal's API username, password and signature code into Zencart's Payment Module section. Checked the "live" environment.
I then tried buying a product on the website and got the following error message:
Zen Cart message: We are sorry for the inconvenience. The PayPal account
authentication settings are not yet set up, or the API security information
is incorrect.
10002
Security error
Security header is not valid
I have tried looking up the answer but everything I see says to make sure the environment is not in sandbox and that everything is typed in correctly. I have tripled checked and the API is typed in correctly and it is set to live.... what else can I do?
Moving on, I have tried to setup the sandbox but am unfamiliar with how to use Paypal's sandbox. So I reconfigured Zencart to "sandbox mode" with the appropriate sandbox API and I set up box a sandbox account for a merchant and private buyer but I don't know how to use them. Should I go back to the Zencart store and register with my new "Paypal sandbox private buyer email"? And will checking out using this email they gave me work as just a test... I don't want to go through with the checkout if I'm going to get billed...
Thank you for any help:)
The best place to get support on Zen Cart issues is directly on the Zen Cart support forum at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum.php
Further, an existing article already explains the basics of the problem you describe: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?277-the-paypal-account-in-this-store-is-presently-misconfigured-to-use-mixed-sandbox-and-live-settings-we-are-unable-to-complete-your-transaction-please-notify-the-store-owner-so-they-can-correct-this-problem-10002
It is absolutely critical that the THREE parts of your API settings (username, password, signature) be copied EXACTLY from PayPal's site into your store's admin settings screen.
There's no need to use sandbox unless you're a programmer writing new features for payment processing. So be sure to check the "Live" radio-button. (I realize you already mentioned that. Just adding this for clarity.)
You can also get more details on exactly what is coming back from PayPal by turning on debug logging in the module's settings.
PayPal tech support is available at www.paypal.com/mts - they can look at your actual transmissions and at your account, and sort out a problem if there's something wrong with the API signature details.
I'm trying to implement recurring payments with PayPal in PHP. I found this example, which I'm looking into, but I need some API credentials. I created a PayPal sandbox account, and from there I created a merchant account. I'm trying to get the API credentials for that sandbox merchant account to replace the values in the example, but I can't find where. All the guides I find point to non-existant parts of the sandbox user interface. Does anyone know where I can find the API credential details for sandbox merchant accounts?
Thanks.
I'm beginning to I loathe PayPal. Spent an hour on their site looking for this, only to find it here on SO (works as of Oct-2014):
Live: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-api-run
Test: https://sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-api-run
To get API credentials in sandbox you must use the API Credentials menu in sandbox itself, instead of logging into the sandboxed account.
