I have a sandbox account setup but it seems not working with the sandbox environment. I get the gateway response as:

#”Security header is not valid”, “timestamp”=>”2010-07-20T08:31:26Z”, “correlation_id”=>”d0316c3eccb1d”, “token”=>nil, “build”=>”1399980″, “error_codes”=>”10002″, “version”=>”59.0″, “ack”=>”Failure”}, @message=”Security header is not valid”, @success=false, @cvv_result={“message”=>nil, “code”=>nil}, @fraud_review=false, @avs_result={“message”=>nil, “code”=>nil, “street_match”=>nil, “postal_match”=>nil}, @test=false>

can someone please guide me what are the requirements in order to accept recurring billing as a merchant.

1) Paypal account type (Standard, Pro)
2) Does sandbox env. works for above?

thank you very much.

does it ? would like to know…

I just came across the same issue with Error 10409. What appears to have happened was there was already a recurring profile setup for the email I was testing with.

I fixed this by going through my sandbox account and just canceling all of the active recurring payment profiles.

Hope that helps!

10409
You’re not authorized to access this info.
Express Checkout token was issued for a merchant account other than yours.

I use a sandbox seller w/ business merchant account.
I cannot understand why this fails. A correction, the error returns from paypal in the first return from sandbox – so after the confirmation of the agreement and before the profile’s creation

In my code detail_response.success? returns `false`

I tested in my sandbox(development) the express checkout recurring payments using your fork from github, but i get the following UpdateBillingAgreement error from paypal after applying the gateway.create_profile method:

#############################################
10204 User’s account is closed or restricted
#############################################

With the same test seller and buyer i can complete one-off transcations

Please could you help me with this?

Best Regards,

I haven’t talked to the original ActiveMerchant maintainer about it, but it seems like a good idea as both PayPal and ActiveMerchant are popular and we are seeing a lot of SaaS now. Feel free to raise it to them.
