- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// Set up payPalConfig
_payPalConfig = [[PayPalConfiguration alloc] init];
_payPalConfig.acceptCreditCards = YES;
_payPalConfig.languageOrLocale = #"en";
_payPalConfig.merchantName = #"KicksCloset Shoes, Inc.";
_payPalConfig.merchantPrivacyPolicyURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full"];
_payPalConfig.merchantUserAgreementURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full"];
_payPalConfig.languageOrLocale = [NSLocale preferredLanguages][0];
// use default environment, should be Production in real life
self.environment = #"sandbox";
NSLog(#"PayPal iOS SDK version: %#", [PayPalMobile libraryVersion]);
}
this is my pay action
{
PayPalPayment *payment = [[PayPalPayment alloc] init];
payment.amount = [[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithString:amountforserver];
payment.currencyCode = #"USD";
payment.shortDescription = creditsforserver;
// payment.items = items; // if not including multiple items, then leave payment.items as nil
// payment.paymentDetails = paymentDetails; // if not including payment details, then leave payment.paymentDetails as nil
if (!payment.processable) {
// This particular payment will always be processable. If, for
// example, the amount was negative or the shortDescription was
// empty, this payment wouldn't be processable, and you'd want
// to handle that here.
}
// Update payPalConfig re accepting credit cards.
self.payPalConfig.acceptCreditCards = self.acceptCreditCards;
PayPalPaymentViewController *paymentViewController = [[PayPalPaymentViewController alloc] initWithPayment:payment
configuration:self.payPalConfig
delegate:self];
[self presentViewController:paymentViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Answer 1

your action method have issue .
just pass the environment
{
PayPalPayment *payment = [[PayPalPayment alloc] init];
payment.amount = [[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithString:amountforserver];
payment.currencyCode = #"USD";
payment.shortDescription = creditsforserver;
// payment.items = items; // if not including multiple items, then leave payment.items as nil
// payment.paymentDetails = paymentDetails; // if not including payment details, then leave payment.paymentDetails as nil
if (!payment.processable) {
// This particular payment will always be processable. If, for
// example, the amount was negative or the shortDescription was
// empty, this payment wouldn't be processable, and you'd want
// to handle that here.
}
self.environment = kPayPalEnvironment;
PayPalPaymentViewController *paymentViewController = [[PayPalPaymentViewController alloc] initWithPayment:payment
configuration:self.payPalConfig
delegate:self];
[self presentViewController:paymentViewController animated:YES completion:nil];
}
and just use this
code in
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[PayPalMobile preconnectWithEnvironment:self.environment];
}

Answer 2

change your paypal environment to PayPalEnvironmentSandbox
this is for sandbox mode
self.environment = PayPalEnvironmentSandbox;
if you want go with live mode..
self.environment = PayPalEnvironmentProduction;
check your PayPalMobile.h file
/// This environment MUST be used for App Store submissions.
extern NSString *const PayPalEnvironmentProduction;
/// Sandbox: Uses the PayPal sandbox for transactions. Useful for development.
extern NSString *const PayPalEnvironmentSandbox;
/// NoNetwork: Mock mode. Does not submit transactions to PayPal. Fakes successful responses. Useful for unit tests.
extern NSString *const PayPalEnvironmentNoNetwork;
