## Error Handling

The server implements comprehensive error handling:

- Input validation errors with detailed messages
- PayPal API errors with response details
- Network and authentication errors
- Rate limiting and timeout handling

## Security Considerations

- All sensitive data is validated and sanitized
- OAuth 2.0 authentication with PayPal
- Secure credential management through environment variables
- Input validation for all API parameters
- Error messages don't expose sensitive information

## Development

### Building
```bash
npm run build
```

### Testing
```bash
npm test
```

### Debugging
The server outputs detailed logs to help with debugging:
- Authentication issues
- API call failures
- Validation errors
- Request/response details
