Why do i get "[10002] Authentication/Authorization Failed. You do not have permissions to make this API call" with the PayPal Integrator?
The URL being used during Authentication/Authorization is incorrect.

The server you use depends on whether you are using the "API Certificate" or the "API Signature" authentication scheme. If you use the API Certificate authentication scheme, you must set the SSLCert property with your client-side certificate. If using the Signature method, set the Signature property instead. The list of valid Urls is shown below:
URL | Description |
---|---|
https://api.paypal.com/nvp | Live server for use with the API Certificate authentication scheme. |
https://api-3t.paypal.com/nvp | Live server for use with the 3-token API Signature authentication scheme. |
https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp | Test server for use with the API Certificate authentication scheme. |
https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/nvp | Test server for use with the 3-token API Signature authentication scheme. |
In addition, you may send test transactions to http://api-aa.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/ for either authentication scheme.
