Why did I get API error code 10744?

Issue
PayPal returned API error code 10744: Invalid Country Code when using DirectPayment API.

Cause
The country code passed in with the billing address is invalid.

Solution
Pass in the two-character country code, not the country name. For example, a common mistake is passing United States instead of US. See the following list of valid country codes.

Note: Not all countries are currently supported. Passing in one of the following unsupported country codes will produce API error code 10746:
