    we spent a lot of time troubleshooting the forms just to find out it won't work

    getting error - DPRP is disabled for this merchant

    i understand this is on paypals side, but do you have anyone that this has worked for?  i don't want to find out from paypal they don't support this anymore and tell me to use payment flow or something similar

    Hi,

    Unfortunately we do not have examples if you are talking about the live recurring payments. However, any Paypal payments available in the Payment Tools should work once configured properly. You can also run a test using sandbox mode if you want to make a test payment.

    About the error you have mentioned, this article will probably help. You are right that it should be enabled on your Paypal account. https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Payments-Archive/DPRP-is-disabled-for-this-merchant-ShortMessage-DPRP-is-disabled/td-p/654451

    found couple extra problems

    turning on sandbox messes up api credentials so when you test you get error:

    Security error Security header is not valid

    The PayPal sandbox integration will not accept your regular API credentials.

    If you would like to test the integration in sandbox mode, you will need to use sandbox credentials.

    Sandbox accounts are crated via https://developer.paypal.com, and managed via https://developer.paypal.com and https://www.sandbox.paypal.com. You will also need to enable the DPRP for your sandbox pro account if you would like to test the recurring payments.
