PayPal chained payment error 550001

Question

I made an REST application and I successfully perform chained payments in sandbox, but when I try to make chained payments in live environment I got the following error:

(  
[Receiver] =>  
[Category] => Application  
[Domain] => PLATFORM  
[ErrorID] => 550001  
[ExceptionID] =>  
[Message] => User is not allowed to perform this action  
[Parameter] => Chained Payment  
[Severity] => Error  
[Subdomain] => Application  
)  

What I need to do in order to obtain the appropriate permissions for executing the chained payments ?

There are few things you need to make sure:

• Check the status of your application, you will need to login to apps.paypal.com and see if you have selected Chain Payments when you submitted your app.
• Make sure your PayPal account is confirmed and verified.
