Internal server error when trying to create a payment

Questions

I am trying to create a checkout link via the POST /v2/online-checkout/payment-links API.

I have done extensive testing in the sandbox version and it all worked fine. When I tried to create a real payment however I got the following response from your servers:

date: Tue, 18 Oct 2022 12:16:24 GMT
content-length: 158
square-version: 2022-09-21
vary: Origin, Accept-Encoding
content-encoding: gzip
x-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN
content-type: application/json

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "category": "API_ERROR",
      "code": "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR",
      "detail": "An internal error has occurred, and the API was unable to service your request."
    }
  ]
}

I have literally created the same purchase via sandbox and it worked fine.

Here is the request I am sending:

{
  "order": {
    "location_id": "LQ5ZE01ZXFNEV",
    "reference_id": "123321123",
    "customer_id": "3TWT3N4EGT7H1GKGXSSFTWEM74",
    "line_items": [

        "base_price_money": {
          "amount": 99,
          "currency": "USD"
        }
      }
    ],

  },

    "ask_for_shipping_address": true
  }
}

That’s definitely not an error we should be returning in this situation. Looking at your request it looks like you’re using a sandbox location_id instead of your production location_id. If you change the location_id and customer_id to production IDs does it work as expected? :slightly_smiling_face:
