Why did I get result code 117?

Issue
PayPal returned result code 117 - Failed merchant rule check.

Causes
Transaction settings on your account and the transaction in question didn't match for one of the following reasons:
  • The transaction amount exceeds the maximum transaction amount limit on the account.
  • The maximum amount for credits has been exceeded.
  • You're trying to perform a non-referenced credit and this feature isn't enabled on your account.
  • You're trying to issue a credit for an amount greater than the original transaction amount.
  • You're trying to perform a Reference Transaction, but Reference Transactions aren't enabled for your account.

Solutions
Here are ways to resolve this error message:

Note: Only admin users can change and request changes to the transaction settings. Any changes to the transaction settings may take up to an hour to take effect.

  4. Verify that you have permissions to (a) process credits that exceed the original transaction amount and (b) process non-referenced credits. (Non-referenced credits aren't supported unless both settings are Yes.)
  5. If one or both of the settings in Step 4 are set to No, ask an admin user to visit PayPal's Contact Customer Service page and ask to have both Credits may exceed the original transaction amount and Allow non-referenced credits set to Yes.
Note: If processing transactions through PayPal, you also need non-referenced credits enabled on your PayPal account.
