Hi there,

I created a sandbox account on PayPal to test payment processing. I got the API credentials and entered them into the Event Espresso > Payment options. I set to sandbox mode.

When I attempt to complete the transaction, I receive the following error on Thank You page:
Attention: Your transaction was declined for the following reason(s):
Error Code: 10002
Short Message: Security error
Short Message: Security header is not valid
Severity Code: Error

Can someone help me integrate my paypal account to event espresso? When I view the Event, the test account is listed and the transaction is set to incomplete.

Thank you!

Ps. I’ve gone through this document -> https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-set-up-paypal-ipn/

Pps. I tried activating IPN on paypal, but I got an error back indicating that the IPN messages weren’t being received at the /transactions/ page so paypal disabled IPN. I contacted my web server company and they said that because I’m on a shared server, they can’t change any settings for my account. I have a static IP address and an SSL certificate on my domain.

Hi John,

First and sorry if this a little simplistic, do you have a PayPal Pro account or just a normal PayPal account? If just the normal one then the gateway won’t work.

Are the credentials being used the Sandbox credentials or your actual account details? To use the sandbox mode, the credentials must be sandbox ones, otherwise this error will appear.

If the SSL certificate is shared, that may also be an issue as PayPal Pro requires a private SSL certificate.
