Issue Summary

Hi-

I found this same error and have used the Paypal API info on another Ubercart site and it works fine-

However- when I implemented this paypal button- I keep getting this from the Paypal site which apparently is telling me that it is not authenticating properly-

Please let me know what I can do to get this fixed

Here is the error report returned from Paypal

The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.

PayPal. The safer, easier way to pay.

Thanks for your help!

The error message "The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again." indicates that your settings for the PayPal Buttons feature (either Buy Now or Subscriptions) are not valid. Unfortunately I cannot diagnose the problem from the link you provided.

No, it's not a configuration problem: you need to add a "business" parameter to the link that is never added.

@fairsayan: If you'll look at line 1162, you'll see that the 'business' parameter is indeed added to the query string sent to PayPal.

There are a number of things that could be misconfigured, starting with the PayPal address used to receive the payment (noted as a problem with another module on D.O) and continuing on to the options set for the individual item. Without knowing the options you're using or link that's being created, it's not possible to offer any meaningful advice.
