    This is not a programming matter. As the error’s details say:

    {
  "field": "/purchase_units/@reference_id=='default'/payee",
  "location": "body",
  "issue": "PAYEE_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTED",
  "description": "The merchant account is restricted."
}

    So, log into the live merchant account at http://www.paypal.com to review information about the restriction and steps to resolve it. Contact PayPal if you need support.

    This is true. I got same error, you just have to contact paypal. This is a 422 error and it has nothing to do about your code implementation.
