Getting the AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE error to the following API
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payment-experience/web-profiles

{"name":"AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE","debug_id":"4ce6b62baa64","message":"Authentication failed due to invalid authentication credentials or a missing Authorization header","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payment-experience/#errors","details":[]}

Can you please review and fix it

@lalitmohan001 So, Paypal something changed in its API

I'm having the same issue. Any solutions?

[thelalitmohan]

@nathanmacfarlane, yes PayPal made some changes into their API. I see, there is no commit to the repository from the last 1 year.

Let's find out what changes have been made, fix it through a pull request, and hope that the change in production will not happen tomorrow. Any ideas where to start?

It seems the Express Button uses this thing:

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/in-context/enable-in-context-checkout/

And that one is deprecated since 2017.

Also, the REST API v1 which is referenced in the docs is also deprecated.
I didn't find out yet how long this stuff will be supported on production.

This seems to be the current "easy" Javascript implementation:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/

[thelalitmohan]

@lukey78, better to user javascript implementation. Package production can be down anytime like a sandbox. Please ignore this package

Same issue... Any new?

[aralroca]

I found why is not working...

export default scriptLoader('https://www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js')(PaypalButton);

In https://github.com/thinhvo0108/react-paypal-express-checkout/blob/master/src/index.js#L109

And then in the PayPal docs...

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/archive/checkout/how-to/customize-button/

An alternative... https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-paypal-button-v2
