Paypal not authenticated after adding "billing_api1.playfab.com" as an authorized third party

I've added "billing_api1.playfab.com" to my Paypal account as an authorized third party for express checkout. I'm still receiving not authorized errors, is there some other authorization that is needed at this time?

Here's the error I'm receiving:

    {code: 400, status: "BadRequest", error: "FailedByPaymentProvider", errorCode: 1015,…}

    code: 400

    error: "FailedByPaymentProvider"

    errorCode: 1015

    errorDetails: {ProviderErrorCode: ["1"],…}

    ProviderErrorCode: ["1"]

    ProviderErrorDetails: [null]

    ProviderErrorMessage: ["Error: 10002 - Authentication/Authorization Failed"]

    ProviderOrderId: [null]

    errorMessage: "PlayFab not authorized to perform actions on given PayPal account."

    status: "BadRequest"

            Having the same problem.

            "Error: 10002 - Authentication/Authorization Failed"

            errorMessage = "PlayFab not authorized to perform actions on given PayPal account."

            I did follow the steps to set it up as directed.

            Edit: Fixed now. I had to delete the PlayFab option, and then readd it again with express checkout options checked. Now it works. Maybe you forgot to enable express checkout options. Try and redo the addon as well after.

            Please check out PayPal's documentation on this subject: Why did I get API error code 10002? It says that the error happens because the credentials are incorrect or invalid, please make sure they are correctly entered, and, if possible, try again. If you believe that you have configured everything properly and still sees this issue, please contact PayPal Customer Service for help.

            Hi, it appears you didn't attach the codes or screenshots successfully. Would you upload it again?
