Migrating PayPal Payflow Gateway to Payments Pro

Full title: Migrating PayPal Payments Advanced and/or Payflow Gateway to Express Checkout and/or Payments Pro


We are working on a Dev site and intend to use PayPal Express Checkout and/or Payments Pro.

The current site is using PayPal Payments Advanced and/or Payflow Gateway.

When testing the Payment Pro system on the dev site, the Express payments work just fine, but CC cards get the following error:

Unable to authorize payment: This transaction cannot be processed. The merchant's account is not able to process transactions. (10548)

Which, according to PayPal Developer web site means: "The merchant account attempting the transaction is not a business account at PayPal. Check your account settings." However, the client has double checked and the API info provided IS his business account for this business.

Thoughts? Prayers?

Paypal has more than one API. Account credentials for one may not work on the others. I ran into this last year while trying to figure a quote for a custom payment module. Their documentation is unclear about which API is which; and their tech-support people weren't much help.

Yea, we're using "different" credentials cause PayPal Pro has the "API Signature/Cert. option while PayFlow...well, they have a URL :)
