    I have configured the plugin with the API signature, but while testing ( Production mode ) I received the following error

    Error – Double check your Business API settings.
    SetExpressCheckout API call failed.
    Detailed Error Message: You are not signed up to accept payment for digitally delivered goods.
    Short Error Message: Transaction refused because of an invalid argument. See additional error messages for details.
    Error Code: 10004
    Error Severity Code: Error

    I wrote to Paypal Merchants account and they replied the following

    [[ Thank you for contacting PayPal Merchant Technical Support.

    Please note that we no longer able to activate Digital Goods feature in your account. The reason why you are getting that error is because that feature is not enabled in your account.

    However, without Digital Goods enabled in your account, you can still actually selling Digital Good on your website using normal integration, not Digital Goods integration as what you currently use. With normal integration ( such as express checkout ), you will need to make sure that you do not request for shipping address ( NOSHIPPING=1, https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/SetExpressCheckout_API_Operation_NVP/ ).

    By doing this, PayPal will not capture any shipping information and remove it totally from the integration. ]]

    So this plugin will no longer work for the new Paypal accounts.

    Hi @free3dart,

    If you look at the first line of the plugins description page I put:

    Note: PayPal Digital Goods is no longer available for new PayPal accounts. This feature remains available for accounts that already have it active. If you have any quetions, please contact PayPal directly.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    “make sure that you do not request for shipping address ( NOSHIPPING=1,”

    So, a plugin that does not use shipping info. Makes sense on the part of Paypal.

    Can the developers make another version of this plugin?

    There’s a script called Linklok that does this but it’s not a wordpress plugin.
