i use paypal php sdk with a sandbox account.
can i use the old paypal version or it's completely deprecated ?
waiting your help :)

Answer 1

COMPLIANCE_VIOLATION
This problem is most likely related to the country of the receiving sandbox Business account. Create a new account for a different country such as US, then create a new REST app that uses that sandbox account, and test its sandbox clientid/secret in sandbox mode instead.
For later use in live mode, ensure that if the live business account is from one of the countries that require it, that the live account has a valid auto sweep withdrawal method active and enabled on the account, such as a US bank or local visa card. If you need help configuring auto sweep for live mode, contact PayPal's business support

Answer 2

i call the support and the response was:
Funds received into Egyptian accounts need to be automatically withdrawn to an attached funding source, such as a bank. You can set this up by going into the account settings section of the account, then the "money, banks and cards" section and at the bottom of that page you'll find "automatic withdrawal" where you can specify a financial instrument to use for automatic withdrawals -- https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessmanage/account/money
thanks for u all :)
