Why did I get API error code 10626?

We return this NVP/SOAP API error code when the transaction is refused due to our internal security measures.

Note: We don’t provide merchants specific reasons for payment declines. If more information is required, have the buyer contact Customer Support.

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