Check that you added your PayPal credentials correctly:

* If doing **test** purchases: use your **sandbox credentials and enable test mode.**
* If doing **live** purchases: use your **real credentials.**

In both cases, make sure that you copied the whole client id and secret key and pasted it **without** pressing the *tab* key or adding extra spaces.
