ModeratorHi, that error message can appear if you are using the wrong PayPal account. But you are using Sandbox for testing purposes now. What type of PayPal account have you set up?

ModeratorHi, Sandbox testing can be tricky sometimes. Can you carry out a live test. Let me know what happens. Also make sure you enable debug mode before you begin. Once the test is carried out, check the log file if you run into any issues.
Thank you

ModeratorHi, the only suggestion I have is to go live. Also enable debug mode just in case something goes wrong. When someone registers in your site, debug mode will document the process. If something goes wrong, check the log file. It should reveal vital information and report then back to us.
Kind regards

Participantwhy i should enable debug? what is this actually sir?

ModeratorH, enabling Debug Mode will help you figure out what is going on for things like the following:
1) Payments are made but something is not happening correctly after the payment.
2) MailChimp (autoresponder) signup is not working correctly.
3) Some kind of cronjob is not working correctly.
4) Recurring payment is not working correctly.
5) A member paid for upgrade but it didn’t work correctly.Basically, for actions where the plugin writes to the log file. When some of those actions are not working as expected then the debug option can reveal where things went wrong.
Essentially, if there is something to do with the payments (whereby a payment has been made but something didn’t work as expected), then the debug option is the first thing to do and check. This will provide you with a log file which can help you and us in the forum to troubleshoot issues you are experiencing. The information in the log file helps the developers know if the plugin received the notification from PayPal (payment gateway) and what it did after the notification.
You can also try the following troubleshooting steps once you go live. This can also help you.
Kind regards
