Why did I get API error code 10626?

Issue
PayPal returned API error code 10626 - Transaction refused due to internal security systems.

Cause
Internal Security systems rejected an attempted Direct Payment transaction.

Solution
Ask the customer to provide a different payment method.

Note: PayPal doesn't give merchants specific reasons for payment declines. If more information is required, have the buyer contact PayPal Business Support.
