2. Execute the code

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Browser: chrome

I have this error too. Started to display 6-7 hours ago

Same here. The examples for single payments work just fine.

I need to add

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=my-client-id&currency=EUR&vault=true"></script>

to my public/index.html in my React app to get subscriptions to work, but that is not needed for single payments.

[drupov]

Found the missing part. Actually the example for subscription does not say that you need to pass the client-id to the options of the PayPalButton-component:

import { PayPalButton } from "react-paypal-button-v2";

export default class Example Component {
  render() {
    return (
    <PayPalButton
      options={{
        "vault": true,
        "client-id": "test"
      }}
...

For once-payments this value is probably set to "client-id": "test" already.

I have this same issue but only when running my app in Safari 15.1 , it works fine in chrome! 🤔

It's really strange to be honest. I've spent way to much time on this. Doesn't work on either chrome or safari on macOS for me, but works on Brave.

Tried running the same application on my windows machine (Brave, Chrome, Firefox), and it seems to work fine there on all browsers.

Seems like it has something todo with browser configuration / add blockers or something. Will try investigate this further later this week when I have the time.

For me it turned out to be a legitimate issue. For some unknown reasons my WiFi and the internet T-Mobile modem stopped working with PayPal. It worked ok after rebooting the modem. Very weird.
