 * Hi,
 * I’m getting a lot of orders failing through paypal currently. I’ve asked paypal
   and they said to check with the plugin developer.
 * I’m getting the following:
    PayPal Express Checkout Error Notification PayPal
   SetExpressCheckout API call failed
 * Error Code: 11452
    Error Severity Code: Warning Short Error Message: Merchant
   not enabled for reference transactions Long Error Message: Merchant not enabled
   for reference transactions
 * None of my products are subscriptions so don’t need recurring payments.
 * I’ve had to disable paypal temporarily now and use another payment gateway until
   I can figure this out.
 * Do you know what could be the cause?
