    Hi, I’ve just moved my site from one server to another, am testing payments and I keep getting the above error. I saw in a post to do this;
    – Login to your PayPal account.
    – Click on the Profile link.
    – Click My Selling Tools
    – Click the Update link next to Block Payments.

    Depending on your account version you may just need to look for “Payment Receiving Preferences” in your profile if the steps above don’t work for you.

    Once you’re there, you’ll find an option to “Block accidental payments: You may prevent accidental payments by blocking duplicate invoice IDs.”
    This has not resolved the issue.
    Any ideas?

    One way or another your web orders are getting sent with order IDs that have already been processed through PayPal.

    As such, what you would want to do is disable that option to block duplicate IDs. Not enable it.

    That said, I would recommend you leave it enabled, and then just add an Invoice Prefix in the plugin settings. This way it will append that value to the order ID sent to PayPal, which should make it unique.

    Hi Angeleye, can you be a little more specific in how I add an invoice prefix? I havent done that before and it hasn’t been an issue. A real head scratcher!

    Actually – sorted! Added the prefix in Woo Commerce and bingo!

    Glad to hear it! ??

    If you have a moment to leave a review for the plugin that would be greatly appreciated.
