Subscription renew - PayPal Express

Post by donnnnar » 02 Apr 2025, 11:35

Hello,

We use Aimeos and have created our subscriptions in it. Our customers have now placed their first orders and ordered with PayPal Express. Unfortunately, PayPal was not charged again when the subscription was renewed.

My question now is whether PayPal Express is the right choice for this?

To check the next step, we tested PayPal Plus locally and saved the sandbox data. The purchase of the subscription worked, but we got the following error message when renewing:

Code: Select all

Token based payment incomplete: Array
(
    [name] => PAYEE_ACCOUNT_INVALID
    [message] => Payee account is invalid.
    [information_link] => https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/#errors
    [debug_id] => f71a7f93b23e9
)
Is this because PayPal simply does not support this for the sandbox account? Or is there another error here?

We would simply like to configure PayPal so that it works in the future.

Best regards

The PayPalExpress service doesn't support recurring payments yet, only the Stripe payment provider from the ai-payments extension.
Professional support and custom implementation are available at Aimeos.com
