Title: Paypal Payment stopped working today Last modified: June 7, 2017 --- # Paypal Payment stopped working today * [igoehr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igoehr/) * (@igoehr) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-payment-stopped-working-today/) * We have an issue with our paypal payments currently. We are receiving following error * Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later. * The last payment was today in the mornig. Nothing was changed since then. * We disabled Plugins (except of Woocommerce) an changed the theme to the current storefront version. That changed nothing at all. Is there a current issue with Paypal? How can I debug further to get more information? * Thanks in advance, * igoehr - This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by [igoehr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igoehr/).

Paypal cart transactions are not properly processed and die on Paypal’s side with an error. * I tried to fix this with the URLENCODE workaround that worked last time, no dice. * We didn’t patch on our side, so I assume this is on Paypal’s side again. I’ve been trying to reach Paypal Business Support but they’re useless, as always. Last time they claimed it wasn’t a change on Paypal’s side when it clearly was( that they reverted or fixed on their end). * Regards, * Nico * EDIT: * I just hit up the PayPal Tech Support site and it said this: * Live Site Emergency Maintenance Notification: The PayPal live site will undergo scheduled maintenance on June 6, 2017. * Emergency Maintenance Start time: Jun 7, 2017 07:00 AM CEST Emergency Maintenance End time: Jun 7, 2017 12:00 PM CEST * During the time window indicated, merchants and consumers may experience intermittent performance issues and timeouts. * EDIT 2: Paypal Business Support emergency hotline says that this is not related to their maintenance, but since they’re level 1 I’m gonna take this with a grain of salt. - This reply was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by [ppzvnico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ppzvnico/).

I hope this is the reason for the issue.

Versuchen Sie es später noch einmal.”) * [ppzvnico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ppzvnico/) * (@ppzvnico) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-payment-stopped-working-today/#post-9204781) * I don’t think that this is an issue for you but please be aware that these flowlogging_id and mfid params are specific to the error page created for an order from your shop that failed. * Edit: apparently, messages disappear or are deleted which makes it seem like I’m talking to myself. - This reply was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by [ppzvnico](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ppzvnico/). * Thread Starter [igoehr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igoehr/) * (@igoehr) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paypal-payment-stopped-working-today/#post-9204872) * yes, there was another message from a user from singapure.
