Regarding paypal payment error "unable to process payment at this time, return to the merchant"

[Shel]

Hi... I am currently dealing with this issue for almost 2 months and didn't really figured out a way. I had recently added paypal express checkout as the payment provider of my shopify account. But whenever i try to make payment to it it says "unable to process payment at this time, return to merchant". Please help me to deal with this problem.. I'll be very thankful

Hey, there!

Are you using the same Paypal account that you have enabled in Settings/Payment Providers to complete the transaction? If yes, then this would be why you're seeing this error as Paypal doesn't allow users to use the same account to both send and accept funds for an order. If no, then it would be best to reach out to Paypal directly as they'd be able to help further with diagnosing the issue to help get that fixed up! 

Let me know how that turns out!

Hey, @iamadit!

Have you had a chance to reach out to Paypal support? If yes, would you mind posting possible solutions they provided that would help resolve this issue outside of not using the same email address to check out?

Your best bet here would be to contact the payment provider directly as the error occurs while redirecting to their services. If there is anything that we can do on our side after speaking with them, please let me know!
