Overly complicated setup… lost patience

  • Due to the nature of PayPal, requiring 4 different codes to authenticate to your sandbox or live accounts, the setup is a pain.

    Merchant ID for a sandbox account is almost impossible to find.

    After that, I see what happened in the plugin logs: the plugin tried dozens of connections to PayPal and PayPal restricted the requests because they are “too many”.

    Response Body: {"name":"RATE_LIMIT_REACHED","debug_id":"c163f4be45a10","message":"Too many requests. Blocked due to rate limiting.","links":[]}

    The plugin made more than 600 requests to PayPal in the last 40 minutes, hello?

    But the plugin fails to display in the UI the real cause of the error simply showing “Authentication with PayPal failed: Could not create token”. Am I supposed to guess and parse all the logs to find the real cause???

    Who knows when PayPal will remove the rate limiting restriction, sorry but I have other things to do than waiting for this and guessing what happened in the logs.

    I really tried to give a chance to this plugin, I will keep the “Express Checkout” plugin until something breaks, but don’t count on me to come back.
