PayPal Error Detected… un-encrypted buttons.

[lucatoParticipant]

Hi folks, I’ve set a paypal account through sandbox, and ask to a friend of mine to buy and image, but always he types the correct password it says that is invalid, so I changed the SYM PayPal setting to live and he gets the following error (See the image):

Any idea what can be wrong? I didn’t add any button, it is from SYM theme.

Thanks in advance.

You are the seller, and I think it’s how you have set up your PayPal account that’s causing the problem. A google search revealed this

Thanks JoAnn, I’ll give it a look.

Have you encrypted your button by creating a PayPal button or deactivated it?

It is a suggestion to Leo to add a code to replace the button or an encrypted code from andpasted html code in the input field in the back-end, not sure if it is simple as that. :0)

I haven’t done anything custom with the PayPal buttons. I’m not sure why I’d want to change how my PayPal account is set up to restrict it to encrypted only.

Not sure how to use encrypeted too, but it would be for avoiding fraudulent payments.
