Hi , thanks for this code,
I m new on paypal .. i try to implement the server rest solution on web site.
Question : the '\PayPal\Auth\OAuthTokenCredential(' on Sandbox context is for the seller .. ? xxx-facilitator@xxx.xx ?
Or the Buyer credential .. in this case your script is an 'Pay Button' emulation .. isn't it ?

Hi,
When I am using the api with live credentials it gives me error like "Access token does not have required scope". Is there any setting that I need to do in merchant account?
My code is below -
$apiContext = new \PayPal\Rest\ApiContext(new \PayPal\Auth\OAuthTokenCredential('client id', 'secreat key'));
$apiContext->setConfig(
array(
'mode' => 'live',
)
);

Please help
Thanks
