I have the same issue. auth and refresh token requests work fine, but requesting a checkout leads to 403.

[chrisreiter]

additional hint: calling that (see curl below without any params) from command line with a valid token leads to 403 as well......so it seems the server does not care about the following parameters at all and blocks the request right after authentication curl -X POST https://api.sumup.com/v0.1/checkouts -H "Authorization: Bearer 35c6d6fea505842dc0bff2a326043efb329769ad565a1c36661..."

i got feedback from the support team:) your account has to be enabled for checkouts.. So just write to the support team and you're helped :)
