I am trying to update a paypal recurrent payment profile with NVP. I want to change the payment amount. The request I am sending to is:
METHOD=UpdateRecurringPaymentsProfile&VERSION=86&PWD=1404892100&USER=XXX#YYY.com&SIGNATURE=ASEEEEEEECCCCCCCC&ProfileID=I-8N1W7089GB47&Note=testing&Amount=105
This request is failing with the following message
[TIMESTAMP] => 2014%2d11%2d04T19%3a13%3a05Z
[CORRELATIONID] => 5c6026b1dedec
[ACK] => Failure
[L_ERRORCODE0] => 10001
[L_SHORTMESSAGE0] => Internal Error
[L_LONGMESSAGE0] => Timeout processing request
The profile was created using express checkout and CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile api as instructed at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/ht_ec-recurringPaymentProfile-curl-etc/
I have surfed the internet a lot but no solution is found. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks

In your update request you've got the parameter name as AMOUNT instead of AMT. Try adjusting that to see if you get a better response.

The transaction which you are trying to refund is showing the status as Unclaimed. That means the payment is not completed yet. This is the reason for getting the error. The payment is in unclaimed status due to currency setting and waiting for your accept. You will need to login to seller sandbox account for accepting the payment. Once you accept the payment it will get completed after this you can refund the payment.
I'm using custom Paypal billing agreement payment gateway in my WHMCS site. It was working fine for 1 year. I met some issues with generating transaction ID for in some scenarios. In order to check and fix the issue changed paypal environment to sandbox mode by providing the Sandbox API username, Password and Signature. But on calling 'SetExpressCheckout' I'm getting the following error.

I tried it with different paypal sandbox accounts. But the result was same. When I'm using Live account with Live credentials the error will disappear and the token (REDIRECTURL) will generate. If I'm using sandbox with sandbox credentials the error is displaying.
What's the reason for this? I checked for trailing spaces, unwanted characters in the credentials I provided. Everything seems to be fine. Do I need to provide any settings in Paypal Account? How I can fix this issue?
This error means one of two things. Either one of the values you've entered for the credentials is simply incorrect, or you're sending sandbox credentials to the live server or vice-versa. Need to double check the endpoint that is being used for the API request to PayPal. It sounds like maybe you're updating the credentials to use sandbox, but the endpoint is still hitting the live server.
while paypal test checkout. I got an error mentioned below.

I has checked for all stack answers and youtube tutorials.
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.

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.
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...
