Paypal Express -
Hi Experts,
I'm trying to implement Paypal express my website.
I have successfully integrated it and test it with the Paypal sandbox, no problems.
So I am now trying to put it liven real, not in the sandbox.
But I've got the following error message:
HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'POST' not supported
I have read on the web it may be caused by the cookies, I deleted them but the bug persists.
Any idea what it wrong ?
Thanks

Wild guess...have you tried using GET? That will submit all form variables as url values. Might be worth a try...
No, POST is required with Paypal. You are still sending to the 'sandbox' in https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/ . That is not the correct URL for a live site which is https://www.paypal.com/ .

Hi SidFishes and DaveBaldwin,
@DaveBaldwin:
Thanks to point this to me.
I have corrected the url, but I still have the same issue :-(

I tried calling Paypal but I got no answer from any of the developer numbers. For some reason, I keep thinking that the API credentials for the sandbox are not the ones you use for the live site.
However your error message comes from the web server before you even get to that part. Have you gone back to the sandbox and made sure your code is still working there?

Yes, it works fine in the sandbox

Hi,
Well after many searches, I resolve this issue by adding a variable in the setExpressCheckout call :
But now I have another issue :
Error 11601 : Request for billing address failed
Billing address request is not enabled for merchant
But it happens in the setExpressMethod call, so I don't understand, I don't ask for billing address !
Do you have an idea why it happens ?

No idea. But I did get a response from Paypal saying that Sandbox credentials are not valid on the live site. They didn't answer about where I needed to get the 'live' credentials.
ASKER
Yes indeed, but I have changed credentials (user/password/signature).
Maybe the URL I use to connect to API and redirect user is wrong. But it's difficult to find a clear answer on the web.

It's difficult getting a clear answer from Paypal!!

As described in my last comment, I have found and resolved the errors on my code.
Could you share your full working example as I'm trying to add Paypal Express Checkout to my shopping cart also.

Hi,
This workflow is proper to our site and can be modified.
1st the user go to his details page where he select paypal.

Hope it helps :-)
So the first page is the one that makes the call to Paypal once they have selected paypal and click next on the cart.
The third one is the return url confirming the payment.
Just to confirm, what is the second page doing?
