I has created sandbox business account for us country, added balance, upgraded to pro, on modal in settings tab: PayPal Credit- on, login with pal - all these steps are done. copy the credential under api tab and pasted them to code you provide.
But while make payments. I got the above mentioned errors. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
Your account where it calls the API should be upgrade to PRO before you make the DoDirectPayment API.
This error usually occurs if you don't have a business account. You must have a business PayPal account within a PayPal Payments Pro-enabled country to use the Direct Payment API. The absence of a home or customer service phone number on your PayPal account can also trigger this error.
Solution
If you have a business account and you get this error, check your PayPal account profile and make sure it includes a home phone number or a customer service phone number. Update your profile if necessary.

I have created buyer and seller account from PayPal developer site.

And fill all right api detail's but this error is coming:-

Business-Pro can actually mean one of two things.
Website Payments Pro 3.0 - This is what uses the DoDirectPayment API
Payments Pro 2.0 - This uses the PayFlow API
In your case it looks like you're approved for "Pro" so you're trying to use the DoDirectPayment API, but the error you're getting means that particular API is still not enabled on your account.
This could mean that you simply cannot use DDP on your account, or it could mean PayPal simply didn't activate it for you since PayFlow would be the assumed gateway. Technically, 2.0 should support both of those APIs.
If you call PayPal and let them know you already have DDP fully integrated and ready to go based on the fact that you had "Pro" enabled, and you would rather not re-develop everything in PayFlow due to time / cost restrictions, they will probably go ahead and enable DDP for you so that this error will go away.
Or, you could go ahead and use the PayFlow API instead. It looks like you might possibly be using my PayPal PHP SDK..?? If so, you could get PayFlow setup instead of DDP within a matter of minutes. If not, I recommend you take a look at it for future reference. It supports pretty much every PayPal API they offer and greatly simplifies things.
If you're interested in more details on this you can check out my article on The History of PayPal Payments Pro.
I am using the Paypal IPN to take payments from my website. The website is only in development at the moment and so I set up a Sandbox site to test and I've been taking payments very successfully in GBP currency (my country of residences currency) with a test account registered in the UK.
However, I want the site to detect a visitors country of origin and allow them to purchase in their own currency. So I accessed the site via a US based proxy. The site used dollars as the currency and I logged into the Paypal sandbox with an account I had set up as US based.
However my return from Paypal has the following:
[payment_status] => Pending
[pending_reason] => multi_currency
[mc_gross] => 4.99
[protection_eligibility] => Eligible
[address_status] => confirmed
[payer_id] => X7QACLK8F7L9Q
[address_street] => 1 Main St
[payment_date] => 13:54:37 Feb 18, 2015 PST
[payment_status] => Pending
[address_country_code] => US
[notify_version] => 3.8
[payer_status] => verified
[address_country] => United States
[num_cart_items] => 1
[address_city] => San Jose
[payment_type] => instant
[address_state] => CA
[pending_reason] => multi_currency
[txn_type] => cart
[mc_gross_1] => 4.99
[mc_currency] => USD
[residence_country] => US
[test_ipn] => 1
[payment_gross] => 4.99
The purchases aren't registering on the site as the payment_status isn't complete (quite correctly). Anyone know the reason for this?
Right I've finally worked out what the issue was and managed to resolve this so thought I would post an answer to my own question in order that it may help people in future.
Firstly log in to your Sandbox Developer Site (where you set up all your fake accounts etc).
https://developer.paypal.com/developer
We need to be logged in to this site in order to be able to then log in to the Sandbox Paypal Business Account.
Leave yourself logged in to the Sandbox Developer Site above and open a new tab and go to the Sandbox Paypal Business Login:
Sandbox Business Login
Now you'll probably see your "pending" transactions in the list. You can choose to "Accept" a pending transaction and the next page will allow you to alter your payment recieving preferences.
I ticked the radio box "Yes, accept and convert them to British Pounds" in answer to what to do with payments from a different currency.
That sorted it for me. Hope it helps someone else along the way.
Thanks to the other posters for their help on this as well. It helped me get to the bottom of it.
Please try to follow the instructions below to turn off the Payment Review function for your Sandbox account:
Go to PayPal Developer Website
Log in to your developer account
Click Applications
Click Sandbox accounts
Click on to the email address that you would like to turn off the Payment Review option and click Profile after it expand
Click Settings
And select Off for the Payment review.
Click Close
!!! Make sure you are doing this on your PayPal SandBox Merchant Account!
Login at your main PayPal account (not sandbox), go to Seller preferences and click on update Block payments.
As of 2019, it's nightmare to use PayPal tutorial links because they changed the structure of their website without proper redirection of old links.
To accept payments made in difference currencies and marked as unclaimed/pending due to multi_currency, you've 2 options :
Go to https://www.paypal.com/listing/transactions and manually accept the transaction
You'll then be presented with
options to accept and create balance in X currency:
Go directly to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-pref, which should redirect you to https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/preferences/payments, and choose to automatically accept and convert future payments as follows:
Just remove multi currency from your paypal sandbox settings.
Login to your proper sandbox account. (I have find that first time i remove multicurrency for my different sandbox account)
From Settings, go to "My Money / wallet" section.
And keep only one currency which you use in your application. Remove other currencies.
We're developing a marketplace where buyers and sellers meet to trade (something similar to Ebay). We want to support paying via PayPal and we don't intend to take any service fees. Since we're a startup any overhead paperwork for us is excess so we've decided that any PayPal transaction is between buyers and sellers directly.
However, we want to have accept/deny mechanism for sellers so they have to manually approve each and every order (in case some items are out of stock in their physical store etc.). After order is accepted, money should be transferred to the seller.
After a lot of thinking and reading PayPal documentation, we've decided to go with Express Checkout using auth/capture and parallel payment concepts. We've successfully integrated Express Checkout and everything works until calling DoAuthorization API which unfortunately fails. Everything we've done so far is inside PayPal Sandbox.
To give you a picture how our communication with PayPal's endpoint works, here is what we're doing (only important fields will be shown):
call SetExpressCheckout having PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Order and PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID={seller's PayPal email address}
redirect buyer to RedirectURL to authorize payment
call GetExpressCheckoutDetails to get info about payment
call DoExpressCheckoutPayment having PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Order
Here we got info about transaction with status "Pending" which seems that everything is OK up to this point (transaction is also visible in the seller's PayPal account with the status "Pending"). Now according to documentation available we need to call DoAuthorization in order to complete auth process. However, after calling DoAuthorization we're facing an error saying:
[L_ERRORCODE] => 10007
[L_SHORTMESSAGE] => Permission denied
[L_LONGMESSAGE] => You do not have permissions to make this API call
[L_SEVERITYCODE] => Error
Here is what we're sending and receiving with DoExpressCheckoutPayment and DoAuthorization API calls (only important sections will be displayed):

After spending a week trying to get this to work, googling and going through all available documentation trying to find if we have to have permissions to call DoAuthorization API, we're clueless.
We're sorry if this question is too long but we wanted you to have the full picture on what's going on and how we handle things with PayPal API. If knowledgable person could shed some light onto this issue, we'd be thankful.
Typically that sort of an error means exactly what it says, and your PayPal account simply doesn't have permissions to make that particular call.
Are you specifically wanting to place the funds on hold? You could run DoCapture to capture the order directly without the need to do the authorization in between, but order authorizations don't actually hold funds, so that's an important part of your puzzle you'll need to contact PayPal about why you're getting that error.
You can submit a ticket to www.paypal.com/mts and that goes directly to the tech support. They've been doing better lately about getting back to tickets more quickly, so I'd try that for sure.
In the mean-time you can give the phone support a try, however, the general phone reps tend to not know how to solve stuff like this and can just end up causing more confusion.
In either case, just let them know you're trying to make a call to the DoAuthorization API but you're getting this error and they should be able to help track down the issue and get you taken care of.
If you continue having trouble getting help let me know and I can reach out to some of my contacts at PayPal directly.
Ok, I have an update (sort of). We've got a response from PayPal MTS telling us to include SUBJECT field when calling DoAuthorization and fill it with the same value as PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID which is basically seller's PayPal email address. We did it and this time we get the following response from DoAuthorization API:
[ERRORS] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[L_ERRORCODE] => 10002
[L_SHORTMESSAGE] => Authentication/Authorization Failed
[L_LONGMESSAGE] => You do not have permissions to make this API call
[L_SEVERITYCODE] => Error
)
)
So error code went from 10007 to 10002. Now we're still waiting for the second response from PayPal MTS but in the meantime we've narrowed the issue down and it appears the problem is with our API credentials (username, password and signature).
Basically we used our API credentials to go through SetExpressCheckout, GetExpressCheckoutDetails and DoExpressCheckoutPayment to receive transaction ID to be used with DoAuthorization API. Now instead of calling DoAuthorization with our API credentials (which will fail), we've tried to call it from: http://quar.me/paypal/api/nvp/doauthorization (using API credentials found on this website). To our surprise it worked, and the transaction has been authorized (and later captured) successfully. Then we copied API credentials from that website to our application to verify if it works, and I can confirm it does.
We're now puzzled same as the first time. I'll update this answer when we get a response from PayPal MTS. In the meantime, if someone has any idea what's wrong, feel free to respond.
Update [21-01-2014]
We've got response from PayPal MTS guy. The problem is somehow strange; in order to call DoAuthorization/DoVoid/DoCapture etc. API calls, seller needs to grant Auth/capture permissions to the API username. OK, let's say this is regular.
What's strange is that:
The need to request permissions for these API calls is nowhere mentioned in the documentation.
If permissions need to be granted from seller, how come API credentials found here work without ever requesting Auth/capture permissions? We've even successfully generated transaction ID with our API credentials and then authorized payment with API credentials from aforementioned website.
Update [22-01-2014]
OK, we've settled the issue with PayPal MTS. Reason for getting back these errors is the fact that each seller needs to give permission to our API username in order for us to be able authorize/capture payments. These can be achieved either by seller manually giving permissions, or via Permissions API.
I used usual seller account on sandbox, not wpp.
Can i use direct payments from credit card on that account or i need create only wpp account?
Now i recieve error:
[L_ERRORCODE0] => 10501
[L_SHORTMESSAGE0] => Invalid Configuration
[L_LONGMESSAGE0] => This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration.
[L_SEVERITYCODE0] => Error
No, you must set up a Website Payments Pro account in order to test the DoDirectPayment API.
You will need to setup buyer account in sandbox and use that one for testing
Hi All I am implementing recurring payments with paypal. My paypal script is already running now embedding recurring payments in it. I have searched a lot and not find any useful material. I found from Recurring some material. I implemnted the code of createrecurringpayments.php from here and changed the variables accorinding to mine. I redirect browser to this file from DoExpressCheckoutPayment.php when transaction is completed. But at createrecurringpayment.php I always get the following error.CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile failed: Array ( [TIMESTAMP] => 2011%2d03%2d28T11%3a44%3a30Z [CORRELATIONID] => 81d0c488123c4 [ACK] => Failure [VERSION] => 54%2e0 [BUILD] => 1776465 [L_ERRORCODE0] => 10002 [L_SHORTMESSAGE0] => Security%20error [L_LONGMESSAGE0] => Security%20header%20is%20not%20valid [L_SEVERITYCODE0] => Error ).
there may be below 4 causes for this type of error you found..
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.
Just check it out..it may helpful to you..
Thanks.
I have found the solution.... I was using paypal Express Checkout.. With this it is not possible to implement recurring payments...
