"Your API Authorization is Failed." with PayPal Standard
March 31, 2009, 04:10:12 pm
Hi -- I'm using the latest CiviCRM with Drupal, and I've configured a default payment processor of PayPal Standard, using the guide in the wiki:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/PayPal+Website+Payments+Standard+and+Recurring+Contributions

When testing using either a sandbox account or a live account, I'm getting the error "Your API Authorization is Failed." at the top of the page in CiviCRM once PayPal returns me to my site.  The payment goes through without any errors on PayPal's end.

Since PayPal Standard doesn't use any API key, this error makes no sense, and gives no clues as to what the problem is.  Has anyone else seen this, or is there a known solution?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Seems like you have USPS address cleanup enabled (potentially). I fixed the error message and cleaned up the code a wee bit:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4316

This will be part of 2.2.2

If you want to patch your code, you can download the patch here:
