EWP Settings error in PayPal integration process

I am in the process of building my own ecommerce store via PHP and MySQLi. Current testing site is: http://taxreturnsolutions.uk/ecommerce/

I have followed this guide: https://www.codexworld.com/paypal-standard-payment-gateway-integration-php/

I HAD everything setup and working absolutely fine in that I could click the buy it now button, it would take me to the sandbox site and I could purchase. My SQLi database would be updated with the relevant data etc. However now I keep getting the following message from PayPal Sandbox as follows:

*Note URL: /webapps/shoppingcart/error?flowlogging_id=7be60528d708&code=EWP_SETTINGS

Paypal Error

I get this every time I press the buy it now button, however prior to this, it was an intermittent issue for example 3/10 times I used the buy it now button it would present this error and 7/10 times process correctly.

My code for the button is as follows:

                    $paypalURL = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; //Test PayPal API URL
                    $paypalID = 'ukpwneduk-facilitator@hotmail.com'; //Business Email
                            <!-- Button -->
                            <?php 
                            
                                    if(isset ($_SESSION['login_user'])){
                                            echo "
                                            <form action=' $paypalURL ' method='post' style='text-align: center;'>

By default, you accept payments from encrypted and unencrypted buttons. For additional security, you can prevent buyers from sending payments to you through unencrypted buttons.

It seems like you have disabled unencrypted buttons, that's why Paypal is rejecting payments from your buyers who click an unencrypted Buy Now button, an unencrypted Donation button, or an unencrypted Subscription button. This is when you see EWP_SETTINGS error message.

If you previously blocked payments from unencrypted buttons, here’s how to accept all payments:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account. Click the Business Profile icon beside "Log Out" and select Profile and settings.
  2. Click My Selling tools.
  3. Click Update near 'Website preferences.'
  4. Select ‘Off’ next to ‘Block Non-encrypted Website Payment

Once you turn off this setting you will no longer receive the error message.
