## Common causes

- You initially signed up for Paddle Classic, but you're making a call to a Paddle Billing API endpoint and Paddle Billing is not activated for your account.
- You may have activated Paddle Billing for an account in another environment. For example, you activated Paddle Billing on your sandbox account but not your live account.

## Common solutions

- Go to Paddle > Business Account > Account Settings > Get Paddle Billing to activate. You'll need to be an admin user.
- Check that Paddle Billing is activated for your sandbox and live account.
- Contact the Paddle Seller Support team if you're having trouble activating Paddle Billing.
