LM_ PayPal Page subscription bug

PayPal seems to have a number of internal safety checks that can reject a subscription. Unfortunately I've not been able to find documentation covering them so that I can check them out before sending in the subscription.

When I can find a free moment I'll try and duplicate this issue locally and see about adding a check in my subscription creation form.

I can confirm this error with Paypal Sandbox. My recurring subscription settings are:

Regular billing cycle - 1
Regular billing cycle units - Months
Recurring payments - recurring

I changed my business email in lm_paypal settings to match the test business account paypal email and this cleared the paypal error I was getting. So if using paypal's test sandbox, make sure you're using the business test account email (ex. example._12394857_biz@example.com).

Yes, that would do it.

v1nce I owe you a beer.

For this module they should ask you to fill in your live PayPal email address and your Sandbox email address and then have a radio button option to switch between the two.

Changing status - no patch attached.

Vince, I was working on your cue.

I made use of the following e-mail accounts for the test buyer and test merchant roles in the sandbox, respectively.

buyer_1241783366_per@mysite.com (test buyer )

admin_1241783049_biz@mysite.com (IPN setting - business email)

despite this, I continue to get the "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again" error.

help?

thanks

I'm getting this error too. Everything I've read in the other issues related to it don't seem to help.

I'm still verifying my PayPal account--could that be causing it? What else might be going on here?

Thanks!!

I couldn't log in to my seller accounts because I used France as the seller's country. That might be a bug in PayPal sandbox (or perhaps the foreign countries aren't allowed to sell things in a virtual ideal sanbox world). Anyway, if you do want to login use a US seller.

The error with foreign countries in PayPal sandbox is fixed. I've been in contact with the technical support and that's solved - just create a new biz account or reset the old one.

This is a pretty old issue now, with no additional information provided on the original issue in over three years. If you have a current problem -- either related to this issue or not -- please open a new issue against the appropriate version.
