    Hello,

    When paying with Paypal a popup appears with the error message:

    Error occured during payment verification. Error code 429. Message {“name”: RATE_LIMIT_REACHED” …… “message”: “Too many requests. Blocked due to rate limiting”

    Can we add a captcha or something? There are few purchases on the site

    TY

    Hi, thank you for reaching out to us. I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your request.

    Kind regards.

    That error comes from PayPal. The plugin just relays that info. The following page has explanation:

    https://developer.paypal.com/reference/guidelines/rate-limiting/

    The error seems to be happening in the IPN verification stage where a captcha cannot be inserted (and one is not needed generally).

    Is this a rare occurrence on the site or happens frequently?

    Are you using this same PayPal merchant account on multiple sites that could be triggered many requests within a short time? If you have another site where the same merchant account is being used, it will count towards your total per minute API query quota.

    Hello,

    I contacted Paypal. They told me that the problem came from the plugin.

    This problem has appeared several times in 2 years. It appears when Smart Checkout mode is enabled.

    The Paypal account is used only on one site.

    TY

    I received a response from Paypal:

    ?I see that you are getting the error from the endpoint?v1.oauth2.token.?The token should be re-used until it expires and not generated with every request.?You should only need to request a Bearer Token once every 9 hours.?
    The token which is generated should be cached and reused for repeated requests until it expires. Please review your integration to fix the issue.

    What should I do ?

    TY

    This is an issue with the smart checkout API that PayPal has deprecated. We are in the process of replacing it with the new one. The answer I gave in the following post is relevant for anything to do with the smart checkout option:

    Hello,

    By deactivating the smart checkout high taxes appear during payment, how to deactivate them?

    Have you added any shipping cost to the plugins admin settings and or sales tax in your PayPal account?

    Regards.

    I checked and I don’t see any taxes. The problem only appears by deactivating Smart checkout and clicking on “Pay by credit card”.
    What to do ?
