Exception when creating a web profile with an already existing name

    When saving the PP Plus settings page, a web profile gets created but if a profile with the same name already exists, the PayPal REST API returns a “Bad Request 400” error and then nothing gets saved to the “Sandbox Experience Profile ID” field. This leads to payments silently failing later during the checkout.

    You should add a check for this case and use the already existing web profile. If you have the plugin under version control somewhere, I can contribute a bug fix for this.

    Hello @martinsotirov

    normally, it should not be possible two shops have the same Experience Profile ID. This ID will be generated from PayPal. Did you enter a valid Sandbox Live and Secret ID. These are different to the PP Live and Secret ID.

    You have to create your sandbox access details on https://developer.paypal.com/

    Hi Andreas,

    Thanks for repsonding.

    I’m not talking about two shops using the same profile ID but about your plugin trying to generate a new web profile with the same name that it already generated previously. I had to manually send requests to the REST API to remove the web profile that your plugin previously created for my site.

    I’m talking about the update_profile function in the WCWebExperienceProfile class. When it doesn’t find a local ID, it tries to create a new web profile with a name that could already be used and it doesn’t handle the error response from PayPal properly.
