Issue description

I have a paypal business account (verified), my account is linked with Singapore bank and currencies are USD (primary), SGD. I use this module to call function follow the example below: https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-node-SDK/blob/master/samples/payout/create.js

But, I got response error: { name: 'AUTHORIZATION_ERROR', debug_id: '863b92d76751f', message: 'Authorization error occurred.', information_link: 'https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments.payouts-batch/#errors', httpStatusCode: 403 }, httpStatusCode: 403 }

In live app settings, payouts is enabled

Prerequisite/basic requirements for a account to do Payouts.

To onboard a merchant to use Payouts, merchant must have

• PayPal business account
• Confirmed email address
• Bank account should be attached to the account (Bank account has to be verified by PayPal)
• CIP verified (for US account) / KYC verified account
• Enable Payouts (masspay) for the account

Hi @ghiteze, can you validate if the account which you used fulfill the above mentioned basic requirements?

Thanks! Sucithra
