If you are having trouble connecting your Kajabi account with PayPal, you may be experiencing one or more of these issues. This guide covers common PayPal integration problems and their solutions.

​
API credentials

A crucial step in setting up your PayPal integration is making sure you are using the Live API Credentials and not the Sandbox API Credentials. The Live API Credentials will be used for your PayPal integration. It will not be possible to integrate successfully when using the Sandbox API Credentials.

​
Create app button is greyed out

Sometimes the Create App button will be unclickable or greyed out for a period of time after creating your PayPal Business account. The Create App option becomes available within 24 hours of creating your PayPal Business account. Please reach out to PayPal support if you have further issues with this. You can reach them here: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us.

​
Sandbox account status error

You will need to have an active Sandbox Account in order to complete the PayPal integration.

​
PayPal payment modal disappears

This error has to do with how you have your PayPal account set up. This is usually caused by not having subscriptions enabled in your PayPal business account.

​
Fix

You’ll need to go to this link: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accountstatus and enable subscription payments in your account. If enabling subscriptions does not keep the payment modal from disappearing, you will need to reach out to PayPal customer support in order to resolve this issue. You can reach them here: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us.

PayPal seller protection

Learn what is covered and what is not covered under PayPal’s seller protection plan here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/security/seller-protection. Intangible purchases like services, digital goods, etc. are not covered by PayPal.
Tip: Unfortunately, PayPal doesn’t automatically update changes made to Offer Titles in customer invoices. Consequently, if the title of your offer is changed, the former title will still be shown on the invoice. Because of this issue, we recommend creating a new offer with the new title to ensure consistency for your customer purchases and invoices.
