Message 3005 On Paypal Subscription

[snake]

Trying to test out paypal standard (in sandbox mode currently), it works fine with a standard payment, but when using the subscription link, it gives an error at paypal every single time.

 

Message 3005

 

any idea why ?

It's a PayPal issue: https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/eBay-and-PayPal-Archive/How-to-fix-Error-3005/td-p/165432/page/4

no I haven't, i'll give that a try,

 

however I have also noticed that the regular payments are not being recorded in Blesta either. there is no error, everything goes through ok on the paypal side, but in blesta it still says unpaid.

Check the gateway logs under [Tools] -> [Logs] for a response from the gateway. There could be an error or no response from PayPal, which ends up not marking the invoice paid.

 

Also, if you're running Blesta on a machine (like your personal computer) that is not accessible from the Internet, PayPal can't send Blesta a response.

sorry should have mentioned I have checked the logs already and the transactions show up as SUCCESS.

This is not a local machine, it is a public website.

It seems to just be a problem with the sandbox, I switched to live mode and everything went through.
