PayPal API - CURRENCY_NOT_ALLOWED

Question

I am using the PHP PayPal REST API for credit card payments and a sandbox account and I get this error:

PayPal\Core\PayPalHttpConnection :
ERROR: Got Http response code 400 when accessing https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/payments/payment.

{
    "name":"CURRENCY_NOT_ALLOWED",
    "message":"Currency is not supported",
    "information_link":"https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/api/#CURRENCY_NOT_ALLOWED",
    "debug_id":"308d4b24ea4b5"
}

The "information_link" they provide does not provide any information whatsoever about CURRENCY_NOT_ALLOWED and what I found on another page of theirs is "more than helpful": Currency is not supported You are using a currency that is not currently supported.

The problematic currency is NOK, while EUR seems to work just fine.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Please check your paypal sendbox account address zone. May be it's not valid for NOK. For more details you can check it here :- https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/currency_codes/
