Hello :)
I have just installed Forum sales on my website, but when I try to buy something with PayPal, the forum gives me this error:

Error initializing paypal communication with no errors in console.

I followed step by step the guide written on the manual, but it keeps to give me this error. The API credentials are correct. Is there a way to solve it?
Thanks.
 
Hello,

It might happen if you have set the percentage email the same than the sale email.

Is it the case ?

What is the amount of the resource you are trying to sell ?
Did you activate percentage on sale and if so how much is the percentage ?
 
The only other reason would be a sale in a currency that is not supported by your paypal account.

Otherwise, I'll need ftp and admin access to debug.
 
With such a low price item, the only thing I see is that you would have percentage on sale active.
You are sure you set it to 0 in categories ?
 
Ok checked and in fact the percentage on sale is indeed deactivated.
The exact error is a problem of security header apparently, I have read a bit about that and what they seem to point out is a potential issue with the credentials being old.

When were yours generated ?
 
UPDATE: I update my SandBox account info, and now the add-on gives me this error: Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console.

With no error in console.
 
That's my fault I had put an echo.
I just removed it.

If you created the credentials from sandbox then you can't use them with the live API, that might be the reason for the error.

You have to use official credentials retrieved from your paypal account and not the sandbox.
 
Apparently, this has changed, the API is not available anymore for standard accounts.
I'll put a notification about that in the product page.
