Why did I get API error code 10215?

Issue
PayPal returned API error code 10215 -  Soft Descriptor truncated.

Cause
The Soft Descriptor you passed in your API request has been truncated. This informational error won't cause an API request to fail, but rather results in a Success with Warning.

Solution
To avoid this API error, send in a smaller soft descriptor. You'll find a detailed description of the SOFTDESCRIPTOR field in the Dynamic Soft Descriptors in Direct Payment section of the PayPal Developer Portal.

Note: This feature must be enabled for your merchant account before you can take advantage of it. Please contact PayPal Customer Support for feature activation.

Note: See the Developer Portal for a complete list of NVP/SOAP API error codes.
