Hi ,

 

Do you have an API certificate installed?

If not you will probably have to get one from paypal.

Go to your account and click on Profile>API

You will need a premier or business account to qualify for a certificate.

Once you apply it takes about maybe five minutes to get a certificate if that long.

Download the certificate and install in the proper place in your particular configuration.

I created a Cert file in Admin and put it in there for extra security.

 

Then change the code ( it is different for each configuration since all people do things differently) on your payment page to access it and transfer the sale to paypal. It will probably involve inserting a path to the certificate.

 

Please note: A PayPal button is Required to actually operate the payment system.

The button MUST be hosted at paypal itself for it to work properly at least thats what they tell me. :rolleyes:

 

I'm still learning too and I only know all of this because I've spent the last three days at paypal trying to solve my own errors with the PayPal Express Module on this side of the pond. :thumbsup: :rolleyes:

 

OH, yes, I almost forgot silly me. BOTH paypal modules MUST be installed for the PayPal Express module to actually work. I was having two errors similar to the one your having until I found that one out. They haven't answered my question here either, which is how I found all of this out.

I've got it boiled down to one error now and I'm still working on that one but it's progress!

 

I hope some of this helps!
