In order to integrate PayPal with my ASP.NET website using C#, I was told that "Sign up for a PayPal developer account and obtain API credentials. I will need to create a Sandbox account to test my application."
At present, I hope to use Live Mode of Paypal instead of Sandbox Mode, must I upgrade Paypal account to business account ?
To process live payments, you need a live business account. There is no reason not to upgrade, having one is free.

Paypal allows to test payments using sandbox accounts. However, where I live on live, it says to upgrade it to business account. Is it possible to go live and get client ID and secret key?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Typically you cannot create REST credentials for a personal account.
You should in fact upgrade it to a business account. There is no reason not to.
I am building a marketplace app and want to include payment via PayPal with Braintree (see documentation: flutter_braintree). Right now I am working with a braintree sandbox trial account.
As far as I am understanding it correctly, I have to save the braintree tokenizationKey for every company to enable payments directly to them and not to the marketplace. Due to test reasons I included the tokenizationKey of my braintree sandbox account.
I am successfully directed to the PayPal checkout page where I can't login since it's in sandbox mode. When I select "proceed with sandbox purchase" I am then redirected to the application and do receive a BraintreePaymentMethodNonce.
Here you can find the screen where I can't login.
But somehow I can't see any transactions in the dashboard of my sandbox account.
Am I mistaken with the way tokenization works or where is the problem?

Use a sandbox buyer (personal) account from https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Faccounts%2F
If the companies only have PayPal accounts rather than Braintree accounts, you can use PayPal via Braintree and a braintree access_token from PayPal for authentication to get the client token on your server (no tokenizationKey)
I was also having the same issue. Now I found the solution. All you have to do is link you braintree sandbox to your paypal sandbox. Here is the process of linking your sandbox accounts.
I'm working on a php project that needs to integrate Paypal API's. I've chosen REST API's. But I've a business account(sandbox). Is it possible to call REST API's using this account type?
You need to log into developer.paypal.com using any live PayPal account, via https://www.paypal.com/signin?returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Fapplications
If you don't have a live PayPal account, create one.
Once logged in, the number of REST API apps and corresponding sandbox accounts that you can manage is unlimited.
I'm looking for a explanation about how the Paypal Sandbox works. Let's say I have a real Paypal account through which I receive payments and I want to configure it on Drupal Commerce's Paypal module, but also I want to test the payment workflow first before making it live and let my customers use it, I see the Paypal configuration on Drupal has the following options under the "PayPal server" section:
Sandbox - use for testing, requires a PayPal Sandbox account
Live - use for processing real transactions
I assume that if I want to do "dummy" transactions I must enable the "Sandbox" option on the Drupal side so my question is
Is enabling the 'Sandbox' option the only thing I need to do in order to avoid real transactions being charged to my Paypal account? or do I have to create another Paypal account (the Sandbox account) and configure it on the Drupal side instead of my real account?
I was just wondering if the Paypal Payment plugin on Drupal needs a "Sandbox account" (different from my real Paypal account) or if by just enabling the Sandbox option it somehow signals Paypal about it and any transactions are just ignored while that option is enabled.
I'll apreciate if someone clarifies this a bit for me, I'm just starting to develop Paypal related stuff.
Thanks!
I recommend using a sandbox account from here
You cannot test a dummy transaction with a real PayPal account on PayPal Sandbox. It requires Sandbox account. So, you need a Sandbox account AND change the Drupal option to Sandbox for testing.
I need to create payflow link module for website and I need test account.
I do not want to buy Payflow link, but I want to create something like Sandbox offers.
Is there any solutions to get it?
Not just paypal sandbox account, but Payflow link, with Partner, Merchant login and other details
Paypal is retiring Payflow link in favor of Website Payments Standard and Pro. I had to sign up for a Website Payments account and then send a support ticket to change it back to Payflow. In my support ticket I explained that I already had an app using Payflow and needed to be able to test it still. They will give you a spiel about how everyone will have to upgrade soon, but if you insist that you have to test with the current technology (Payflow) then you'll get your account changed.
