I have set up PayPal Sandbox to test my PayPal Express integration, but whenever I log in to the sandbox from the payment page, I get greeted by the following error message;
I am using laravel-omnipay and omnipay-paypal with the PayPal_Express gateway.
I think this is likely to be a configuration issue (or a bug..? Although I'm hoping it's not.) in PayPal, but this is the piece of code I am using to initiate the payment:
public function checkout ()
{
$cart = Cart::forSession ();
$response = Omnipay::purchase
(
[
'amount' => $cart->getPrice (),
'currency' => preferred_currency ()->name,
'description' => (string) $cart,
'returnUrl' => URL::action ('OrderController@checkoutReturn'),
'cancelUrl' => URL::action ('OrderController@checkoutCancel')
]
)->send ();
if ($response->isSuccessful ())
dd ('successful', $response);
else if ($response->isRedirect ())
return $response->getRedirectResponse ();
else
return Redirect::to ('/cart')->with ('alerts', [new Alert ('An error occurred while attempting to process your order: ' . $response->getMessage (), Alert::TYPE_ALERT)]);
}
And the omnipay.php configuration file:
return array(
'gateway' => 'PayPal_Express',
'defaults' => array(
'testMode' => true,
),
'gateways' => array(
'PayPal_Express' => array(
'username' => '<>',
'password' => '<>',
'signature' => '<>',
'landingPage' => array('billing', 'login'),
),
),
);
The username, password and signature I am using are the ones I created in the PayPal Sandbox for my account.
The sandbox account I am using to test this is a "personal"/buyer account, with funding sources and "Payment Review" disabled. The Sandbox Accounts overview on the PayPal Developer website indicates the sandbox account's status as "complete".
I'm hoping I didn't miss something obvious. I checked out some of the other answers on Stack Overflow but none of those seemed to offer a solution for this exact problem.
