You received a Paypal error message saying “Things don’t appear to be working at the moment”, but you don’t know the reason. This article will explain why you have this issue and how to proceed.
Why Payments Standard integration isn't processing transactions?
You received the error message “Things don’t appear to be working at the moment” from PayPal:
This error typically occurs for two reasons:
- You have entered your PayPal email address or PayPal Identity Token incorrectly
- Your Encrypted Website Payments set to ON
Other reasons can affect your payment transaction. For example, if you are using a plugin for Wordpress (like “WooComerce”) you will have this issue because you only need EWP if you are using a manual button.
How to solve this issue?
You need to test all available options to identify which ones lead to an error message.

In contect to Express checkout, This can be caused by incorrect EC token. Make sure that EC-XXX token has the correct value. If using curl or similar interface make sure replace "%2d" with "-", URL decoder does this for you.
