jayLim Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hello! In chapter 6 "Testing the Site", after I click the paypal subscription button, I get this error message : Error Detected PayPal cannot process this transaction because of a problem with the seller's website. Please contact the seller directly to resolve this problem. I've tried using different test accounts and I get the same thing. Here are the codes for the paypal button: echo '<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="FDN9DZRLVBQRL"> <input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form>'; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've not seen that error before. Unfortunately I don't know what it means, as it's pretty vague. I'd see if there's anything in a PayPal support forum or documentation that might explain it. I assume it has something to do with how you've set up your account.

lindsd1111 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I got the same error. In my case, it was caused by the fact that, due to something wrong on the PayPal side, when I created the PayPal button in the sandbox, it created a "live" button instead of a test / sandbox button. There was nothing to refer to "sandbox" in the code for the button. When I added "sandbox." to the code to try and fix it, I got the error you posted above.
