This is only happening sometimes, Can you please help to figure out this issue ?

Many thanks !!

[trainerbill]

do you have your sandbox client id in the .render() properties?

paypal.Button.render({

            env: 'sandbox', // sandbox | production

            // PayPal Client IDs - replace with your own
            // Create a PayPal app: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/create
            client: {
                sandbox:    'AZDxjDScFpQtjWTOUtWKbyN_bDt4OgqaF4eYXlewfBP4-8aqX3PiV8e1GWU6liB2CUXlkA59kJXE7M6R',
                production: '<insert production client id>'
            },

[edincongo]

Same issue happened to me today (was working properly before). Using express checkout, sandbox environment, double checked client id (even tho I did not changed it), also getting 400 on token request (payment() method).

[trainerbill]

Yeah it looks like an issue in our Sandbox env right now. Demo app is getting the 400 response as well.

[slava-lu]

and there are many issues in the last year with the same problem. e.g.
https://github.com/paypal/paypal-checkout/issues/356

[hc-jforsythe]

We are also experiencing this issue. It seems to have been intermittently happening ~ 12 hours ago but is now occurring every user every request. Only experiencing this in the sandbox env.

[eatinasandwich]

Also experiencing this issue myself. Same as some of the others where it was happening intermittently yesterday until eventually was consistently able to repro. ClientID and environment are being set and the way they are being set hasn't changed from when it was working.

[pink-null]

I am getting this error as well with the same error message. And I can confirm the client id is correct.

Hoping for this error to be resolved soon.

[stephen-scalable]

Also received this error all day.

[bhupatbheda]

@trainerbill - When you do you think it can be resolved?

[shahbaz-anjum]

any quick fix in sandbox environment ?

[tp033]

same issue here.
Even the paypal demo site (https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client) is facing this issue.

[Sauerbrei]

Same issue here, wasn't able to fix though :/

[duozersk]

We are having the same issue - request to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token fails, but at the same time the same request to https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token works fine. Looks like the www version got broken...

The guide at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/#get-an-access-token specifies that the request should go to the api link - so it looks like the link building should be fixed.

[zoidbergg]

Same issue here on sandbox.

This problem already happened, they mark it as closed, but it wasn´t. For someones work if you clear the cache or refresh the page several times, but didn`t work all the time, even when client credential´s are in render and the key is the correct. This problem is mirroring in the developer paypal site, you can´t connect with api calls.

[jjorloff1]

I'm experiencing this suddenly in our non-prod apps today as well. Nothing changed in our code, so I had assumed it a paypal test/sandbox environment issue. I will be watching for a resolution.

[mrsalitre]

@duozersk where do you change that url? in the checkout.js file?, I saw the documentation, and yes, url has change.

[trainerbill]

All, this is a known issue in our sandbox and we have a triage working to resolve it. Currently there is no quick fix / workaround for the client side integration. You can still make the api call server side and fetch it via web service. I will update this issue when we get it resolved.

@duozersk @mrsalitre the urls are correct. www is a proxy app specifically for checkout js.

[bluepnume]

This should now be resolved.

[Daniel-Ovidiu-Vintan]

Hi, I'm afraid that the issue is still there. On my side the the PayPal buy form is not rendering. Same code used to work a couple of days ago.
Please advise.

[bluepnume]

@Daniel-Ovidiu-Vintan -- can you raise another issue with specific details?

[Daniel-Ovidiu-Vintan]

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for you prompt reply.
Meanwhile I found the bug in my javascript code, the structure holding the product’s price was null at the wrong time.
Please let me know if I need to do anything ele.

your sandbox is lame guys

i have this error randomly - probably you have some real issue with token re-use or soft delete, or whatever you do there.

Request URL: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token
Request Method: POST
Status Code: 400 Bad Request
Remote Address: 173.0.82.77:443

paypal-debug-id: 9e671527b16e

{
    "error": "invalid_client",
    "error_description": "Client credentials are missing"
}

maybe i did something wrong, but i doubt it, i'm using https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-paypal-checkout

regards

[trainerbill]

@yurii-github I have reported the issue and will let you know when its resolved.

[yurii-github]

thanks

it's like playing hearthstone.. pure random
also, i've faced such error recently

Request URL: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payment-experience/web-profiles

{"name":"AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE","message":"Authentication failed due to invalid authentication credentials or a missing Authorization header.","links":[{"href":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/overview/#error","rel":"information_link"}]}

for now it looks like this for me

it's random. 2 times failed on token, then on web-profiles.. then popup shows up. or it may not fail 3 times in a row.

anyway, thanks for ultra fast response. i'll return to this issue a bit later after your response

have a nice day

[digggggggggg]

I've been having the same issue for a couple of days now, but it seems to work again when I clear all localStorage.
