I’m trying to create recurring payment profile using CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile method of Paypal API version

  • 0

I’m trying to create recurring payment profile using CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile method of Paypal API version 54.0 56.0 in Sandbox mode.
Unfortunately I’m getting 10002 error “You do not have permissions to make this API call”.
I’ve rechecked API credentials for few times and it looks correct. Also other methods of API (ex. DoDirectPayment) works perfectly.

Does anybody faced such a problem? What a solution?

Thank you very much I need your help.

    SUBJECT is causing this. SUBJECT is meant for third-party API authorization where the value of SUBJECT is the email address / secure merchant ID of a third party which authorized you to call the API on their behalf, not as a descriptive text. For that you’ll want to use ‘DESC’.

    I would also suggest removing:
    IPADDRESS (not part of CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API)
    COUNTRYCODE (not part of CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API)
