    Igor,

    I tested this out.

    I changed the line 4th from the bottom to a fake affiliate ID [CUSTOM_AFFILIATE_ID_HERE] instead of using the PHP code snippet as I'm not sure what that function get_referer_affiliate_id() returns.

    I submitted the form everything worked fine.

    Is it possible that your custom value is not getting set correctly in that PHP snippet and whatever is being put in that location has a value that's not accepted by PayPal?


    To growth and success,

    Max Leadford
