I am setting up an event using PayPal Pro, but keep receiving same email:
“Event Payment Details: Your payment was declined”

We have a PayPal Business account, is there any special setting I need to set to make it work? Thanks.

Hi there,

If you go to Event Espresso -> Registrations you’ll see a list of your registrations.

Click on one that has had a payment refused and then click the ‘View Transaction’ button (or click on the TXN Date in the registration list to go straight to it)

When you view the transaction you’ll see any payments you’ve made, look in the ‘Gateway Response’ field for a failed payment, what does it show?

This is the section you are look for – http://take.ms/BUE0n

This is what Error 10548 shows:

> The merchant account attempting the transaction is not a business account at PayPal. Check your account settings.

Do you have a ‘website payments pro’ enabled on your with Paypal? (there is a monthly fee for that account type) Just having a business account does not allow you to use PayPal Pro on its own.

If not I’d recommend switching to the PayPal Express payment method:
