A decline isn’t something that’s caused by a bug in our plugin as it’s coming directly from PayPal’s API’s and their communication with the bank. * Kind Regards, * Thread Starter [osmanfromkickstartweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osmanfromkickstartweb/) * (@osmanfromkickstartweb) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-still-doesnt-work/#post-16774825) * Thanks for your reply, here is the link to the other ticket : [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-7/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-7/) * the other person seems to face the same issue as me and you guys were seems to say that it comes from the plugin.

But the log entry that the patch was targeting was the `ORDER_NOT_APPROVED` error which is different than your declines. * > Plus, I tried with two different card from two different banks so it might > not be a bank issue. * If you’re testing with Sandbox mode, make sure you aren’t using a real credit card and vice versa. The PayPal plugin doesn’t control the PayPal response to API requests and for internal reasons, PayPal is determining that your payment methods are declined. Or PayPal is providing the direct response from the bank which is a decline. * If you are using a real card in production mode, make sure you’re entering all of your billing address info accurately. * Kind Regards * Thread Starter [osmanfromkickstartweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osmanfromkickstartweb/) * (@osmanfromkickstartweb) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-still-doesnt-work/#post-16775054) * I’m in production mode, with two real cards.

Card declines are normal and there are many reasons for why a card might be declined. I can confirm that we have many merchants using our plugin and they are processing thousands of orders a day without any issues. * If these declines were caused by our plugin, then no orders would be able to process. I’d recommend reaching out to PayPal support and show them the `debug_id` in the log entry your shared. They can provide you with some additional information on why those cards were being declined. * Once PayPal support gets back to you with additional information, please feel free to share it here so we can review. * Kind Regards * Thread Starter [osmanfromkickstartweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osmanfromkickstartweb/) * (@osmanfromkickstartweb) * [3 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-still-doesnt-work/#post-16775608) * I will do that and I let you know. thanks - This reply was modified 3 years ago by [osmanfromkickstartweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osmanfromkickstartweb/). * [augustus1996](https://wordpress.org/support/users/augustus1996/) * (@augustus1996) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-still-doesnt-work/#post-16786860) * [@osmanfromkickstartweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osmanfromkickstartweb/) for the meantime you can revert it to 1.29.

I revert to 1.29 but it still doesn’t work. I contacted PayPal but they keep making me go back and forth between the tech team and the customer support and nobody seems to get a solution. They keep telling me check the “advanced card processing” option, but that option is not supported in Luxembourg.

It’s difficult to track two different issues on the same thread, so that will keep it easier for us to manage. * Plugin Author [Clayton R](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrclayton/) * (@mrclayton) * [2 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-payment-still-doesnt-work/#post-16787105) * Hi [@osmanfromkickstartweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osmanfromkickstartweb/) Ok thank you for confirming that patch didn’t change the behavior for you. Can you now try testing version 1.0.29 of our plugin. If you go to [this link](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pymntpl-paypal-woocommerce/advanced/) you can download version 1.0.29. * If you get the same error, that will tell us that the issue isn’t related to any new version of our plugin. Based on the decline message from PayPal, it seems like they are not allowing your PayPal account to process that card brand.
