Sandbox Paypal Checkout (PHP, Laravel)

Question

I'm trying to implement Paypal's checkout to my Laravel Api (connected to an Ionic app) and it gets stuck when in the app I press the button to checkout and it goes to Paypal (so far so good) in the login screen. I found it weird because it wouldn't let me login with my sandbox account or even my real account, the error is the same: "Some of your info isn't correct. Please try again." By opening developer tools, those are the errors I get (see screenshots). I really couldn't find where I'm making a mistake here. Maybe you can help me. Below are the screenshots and the code that makes takes the checkout to Paypal. Let me know if I should add any extra info here! Thanks a lot!

error 1: , investigating one of the console errors:

Route::middleware('auth:api')->post('/paypal', function (Request $request) {
    $user = $request->user();
    $data = $request->all();
    $list_products_id = $data;

    $products = [];
    $total = 0;

    $titles = '';

    foreach($list_products_id as $key => $value) {
        $product = Product::find($value);
        if($product){
            $products[$key] = $product;
            $total += $product->price;
            $titles .= $product->title." ";

      }

    }

    echo "total: " . $total;
    return ['status'=>'error purchasing! - 2'];
});
