Invalid Configuration This transaction cannot be processed error in payments

I'm having one final problem - I have hooked up the payments to the form
and when I try to submit it and pay for it, it comes up with an error
message saying:
Invalid Configuration
This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to
process transactions.
Can you please help!?!?!

What payment widget are you using to integrate?

Kindly confirm that the authentication/API key is correct in the integration and matches your merchant account.

If it is PayPal kindly try using the normal PayPal widget (first one on the list) as this only requires your email address linked to the PayPal account

How do I check what widget?

I have checked and you are using the PayPal pro widget (it offers the credit card option), the direct PayPal option works correctly on my end.

I'm also receiving the same error

This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to process transactions.

The error occurs if your account is not a business account, kindly contact PayPal regarding this as they will be able to guide you on how to configure your PayPal account.

Alternatively you can use the basic PayPal Widget https://www.jotform.com/help/50-PayPal-Forms

That error means that you must go to your Paypal Express account and set it up to accept digital goods. Please follow this link in order to get further assistance, otherwise contact Paypal support.

Sorry this is getting so frustrating. I mentioned before that I don't have
a business account, I have a premier account. This link is therefore
useless to me :(
...

The option for digital goods is available only for the PayPal business account, if you do not require the digital goods option you can uncheck it in your widget setup

 

Hi there
Thanks for all your help.
I need to know one more thing. The head of information security at our company has just asked what measures are undertaken to ensure 100% security of the data and also to have it all wiped off your systems once our event ends sometime in October?
Do we have some sort of agreement in writing etc?

Our data center security is up to date and we have ensured that we mitigate threats such as DDOS and SQL injections.

We also have an anti-phishing system that evaluates all created forms and flags them if they appear suspicious based on the type of field inputs and labels.

We also recently introduced submissions encryption, which allows your submissions to be stored in an encrypted form and not in the usual plaintext

Another bit regarding security, you can embed/share your form securely by enabling the secure form option, this ensures all submissions are carried via the secure SSL protocol, please refer to these guides for more information

bout the deletion of submissions at the end of a period, I'm afraid we do not have such a provision in place at the moment, this will require manual deletion form your end.

Please let us know if you need further information or clarification
