This is my controller:

setup_purchase method does works fine for me with my data api, but preapprove_payment method does not works.

def pay
 gateway =  ActiveMerchant::Billing::PaypalAdaptivePayment.new(
  :login => "email",
  :password => "pass",
  :signature => "signature",
  :appid => "APP-80W284485P519543T" )
  response = gateway.preapprove_payment( 
  :return_url => user_orders_url(current_user),
  :cancel_url => user_orders_url(current_user),
  :sender_email =>"email",
  :start_date => Time.now,
  :end_date => Time.now,
  :currency_code =>"USD",
  :max_amount => "20",
  :maxNumberOfPayments => "2")
  puts response.preapproval_key
  puts gateway.debug
  # for redirecting the customer to the actual paypal site to finish the payment.
  redirect_to (gateway.redirect_url_for(response["preapproval_key"]))
end

I get in log:
