I have same issue with reccuring products

LongMessage: DPRP is disabled for this merchant. ShortMessage: DPRP is disabled. ErrorCode: 11586

Does anyone know what's happening?

Andrei, does that mean we have to open a Paypal 'Website Payments Pro' account to use Paypal Express and Paypal Direct in nopCommerce?

Payments pro account needed if you want to accept recurring payments.

I had the DPRP is disabled error/issue with recurring payments.  After further investigation, I found out that nopCommerce integrates with PayPal's "legacy" PayPal Pro platform for recurring payments.  You need to call PayPal and request them to setup a new account for you on their legacy platform.  The PayPal Pro support people are aware of this situation as other carts also still integrate with their older platform for recurring payments so they should understand your issue, as long as you get the right department at PayPal on the phone.

I am getting the same issue with the:
"Payment error: LongMessage: This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration. ShortMessage: Invalid Configuration ErrorCode: 10501"

nopCommerce 3.2

I have setup paypal in these sections:

View or Remove API Signature

API Password--------> xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Signature--------> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Instant payment notifications
Notification URL--------> https://store.xxxxxxx/Plugins/PaymentPayPalDirect/IPNHandler

NOPCOMMERCE

API Account Name: -------->  xxxx.xxxxx.xxx

sorry for the bump...

I'm also having the same problem with this plugin.  I think I read somewhere that your site has to be running an SSL cert for paypal to accept it.  Is this the case?  If so, then i'll have to focus more on the standard plugin rather than the direct one (which I'm also having troubles with -_-)
