I'm getting the following error when attempting to create an Order in a Live Application:

{
      "issue": "PAYEE_NOT_ENABLED_FOR_CARD_PROCESSING",
      "description": "Payee account is not setup to be able to process card payments. Please contact PayPal customer support."
}

I did not get this error when building out the API in the Sandbox environment, I've tried to contact support multiple times, at this time I've spoken to over 5 different support representatives and bounced around between various departments but no one seems to be able to point me in the right direction as to how I can address this account restriction.

I'm sending in the following request:

curl -v -X POST https://api-m.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  }
}'

The expectation is that users can enter in their card details through a Phone IVR that data gets passed off to Paypal in the form of an order for a transaction to processed. I tested the workflow in the Sandbox and it worked just fine, but for some reason it just does not work in the Live App.

CodePudding user response：

The integrate card payments documentation has a note that says:

• Before you go live, you need to complete production onboarding to be eligible to process cards with your live PayPal account.
