PayPal express error
December 16, 2009, 06:30:03 pm
I have set up the Live and Test PayPal express account information, and when I try to make a donation, and click the Paypal button, I get the following error message:

Payment Processor Error message
: 10002:Security error Security header is not valid

How do i fix this?

Thanks.

I think I just fixed it.  I had the wrong API username/password entered.  Now, if I have the Live and Test information filled in, can I swithch CiviCRM to use the Test information instead of the Live information?

Thanks.

I think you will want to use the test-drive links in civicrm to test with. Or just add &preview=1 to the url.

I'm not sure if there is a way to globally change to use test credentials - I suppose you could just enter them in as the live ones.

If you go to edit a contribution page, near the bottom there will be a link to test-drive.
