    Hi,

    Hope author will reply on my this issue, I am experiencing this error on all our woocommerce website that uses paypal express checkout.

    Development environment using sandbox:
    Admin

    Warning: An error occurred while trying to validate your sandbox API credentials. Unable to verify that your API credentials are correct.
    Warning: An error occurred while trying to determine which features are enabled on your live account. You may not have access to all of the settings allowed by your PayPal account. Please click “Save Changes” to try again.

    Frontend

    Payment error:
    An error occurred while processing your PayPal payment. Please contact the store owner for assistance. Error[3]

    I am not sure if it is a sandbox issue because of if I use a live paypal api the plugin works properly with one alteration in plugin WPPEC > abstract-wc-gateway-ppec-client-credential.php line 125 commented curl_setopt( $handle, CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST, ‘TLSv1’ );

  • I have the same issue but with Live API credentials,

    This plugin used to work, but I have recently moved servers so I am not 100% sure if this is acusing the problem

    I also use Cloudflare, with Flexible SSL, unsure if this is related.

    This sounds like a credential issue where one of the PayPal values wasn’t filled in properly. Could you please triple check those?

    Thanks!

    I have tried three acct. with separate sandbox and still getting that error. I end up calling our dedicated paypal support, and they did they confirm that sandbox acct. tends to have errors. And said that use live credentials for testing and they will just revert the payment will test is done.

    Not 100% sure but, I go test the website on live api with $1 test product and it is working properly.

    We can definitely echo that from our end – there are a lot of problems with sandbox servers. We use different cloud services for our sandbox testing, which goes very well.

    What a bloody nightmare of a plugin. Forced to move from SkyVerge PayPal Express payment gateway which worked perfect, to this crock of crap. Cannot get it to work, got no installation instructions beyond a glowing write up. Awaiting an answer from woothemes, but from other threads about this plugin; I think i’ll be giving up shortly and moving on.

    This plugin just doesnt work, I expected better from Wootomattic

    You go and do as it asks and you think youre good to go, then save it and get this:

    Warning: An error occurred while trying to determine which features are enabled on your live account. You may not have access to all of the settings allowed by your PayPal account. Please click “Save Changes” to try again.

    Its nonsense, when I use an alternative such as “PayPal for WooCommerce” by Angel Eye then it works first time.

    Come on guys sort it out!
