Using Prestashop's PayPal Payments Advanced from Canada

[J_Nine]

Since I've received no response in over a month from the PayPal moderated portion of this forum, I'll try my luck here.

 

I've received approval from PayPal that I'm setup for PayPal Payments Advanced. However, when trying to use the integrated module in Prestashop (Payments Advanced + Express), I receive the following message: "Your PayPal Manager Configuration crendentials are not valid, please double-check their values or contact PayPal.". I have contacted Paypal and they have assured me that my credentials are valid and that it doesn't matter whether my account is US-based or Canada-based. 

 

If I uncheck PayPal Express (only Payments Advanced is selected), it gives me the following 2 messages: 

 

1. Congratulations, your configuration was updated successfully
    
2. You enabled PayPal Payments Advanced however this product only works in the USA

 

I do believe the module says it's "PayPal USA, Canada 1.2.7", so how is it that I cannot use this feature from Canada? Is there a workaround to get this to work? My clients are experiencing issues with PayPal Express which is the only option that seems to work sometimes.

 

Please help as I am losing business due to abandoned transactions!
