PayPal REST API [Sandbox] - 执行付款销售时的INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR

Question

i've been using PayPal REST API since some months to handle sale payments programmatically without problems, both on live and sanbox platform. From a couple of days I figured that, only for sanbox, is impossible to finalize (execute) payments using resource POST https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment/PAY-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/execute, indeed I get every time INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR response with status code 500.

Last response:

Got Http response code 500 when accessing https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment/PAY-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/execute. {"name":"INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR","message":"An internal service error has occurred","information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/#INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR","debug_id":"2205fb9528a0f"}

Any idea about what is happening?

Answer 1

full disclosure, I work at PayPal leading developer advocacy.

There was an issue with sandbox today and we escalated it through to try to have it resolved. I'm being told that the issue should now be resolved. In my tests on sandbox, the payments are going through. Can you please let me know if you're still encountering the 500 errors? If so, I'll send that back to the team.
