I can't find a solution to this anywhere so I'm posting the very strange issues I'm having, in hopes that someone has an answer.
I've been going back and forth with PayPal support because I keep getting the error: "PayPal gateway rejected the request. User authentication failed" when clicking the "Pay with PayPal" button on my site and they're telling me a few things that don't make sense:
- In the file app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Payflowpro.php it is referencing the correct URLS: https://payflowpro.paypal.com for live, and https://pilot-payflowpro.paypal.com for testing.
- My [USER] => field is not passing, according to PayPal support. I have triple-checked my user credentials in System + Configuration + Payment Methods + PayPal Payment Gateways + Payflow Pro after temporarily changing the "obscure" fields to "text" so I can see what the database holds for my credentials in the /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/etc/system.xml file. What I have matches what's in my Payflow Manager account.
- In the shopping cart, PayPal does not show "Pay with Credit Card", only "Pay with Paypal" as an option. According to PayPal tech support, since I'm using Payflow Pro Gateway I should be seeing a "Pay with Credit Card" option as well.
Here's what I see in the error log (replacing my directory with 'mydir'):
exception 'Exception' with message 'PayPal gateway errors: User authentication failed.' in /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/PaypalUk/Model/Api/Nvp.php:505 Stack trace: /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Api/Nvp.php(1009): Mage_PaypalUk_Model_Api_Nvp->_handleCallErrors(Array) /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Api/Nvp.php(617): Mage_Paypal_Model_Api_Nvp->call('SetExpressCheck...', Array) /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Model/Express/Checkout.php(381): Mage_Paypal_Model_Api_Nvp->callSetExpressCheckout() /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Paypal/Controller/Express/Abstract.php(108): Mage_Paypal_Model_Express_Checkout->start('https://new.domain...', 'https://new.domain...', true) /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Controller/Varien/Action.php(418): Mage_Paypal_Controller_Express_Abstract->startAction() /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Controller/Varien/Router/Standard.php(254): Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action->dispatch('start') /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Controller/Varien/Front.php(172): Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Router_Standard->match(Object(Mage_Core_Controller_Request_Http)) /home/mydir/public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/App.php(365): Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Front->dispatch() /home/mydir/public_html/app/Mage.php(684): Mage_Core_Model_App->run(Array) /home/mydir/public_html/index.php(90): Mage::run('', 'store')
My Magento install is using the popular PORTO theme.
I'm having the same problem on 2 different servers, so it isn't isolated.
Does anyone on planet earth have any ideas?
Thank you!
