I have created a PayPal sandbox account Credit Card - Visa and linked this account to Braintree. In my application, when I am trying to pay using this sandbox account it is asking for IPIN/WEBPIN. Where can I get this IPIN from?
Full disclosure, I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, please contact Support
Based on the URL, this is a production PayPal flow, not sandbox. If you meant do do sandbox testing, I recommend using a sandbox account. You can sign up for a sandbox account and begin testing. I recommend following Braintree's developer docs for PayPal for testing.
This looks like 3D Secure verification within PayPal. The card issuer associated with the card you are using is asking for the IPIN or WEB PIN associated with that card for verification, because it is a valid production card. If this is not your credit card, please do not use it in that production flow. If PayPal happened to generate that card for sandbox use, please only use it in the sandbox environment.

I'm trying to integrate paypal payments through card into rails app.
Normal one-time payments are working well. But I keep on getting the above response when I'm trying to make recurring payments. I've tried to enable that feature in paypal developer website but it says
Note: Live credentials are disabled for direct credit card processing in your app. We are processing your information and will email you when live API credentials are enabled.
But it is saying same from past few days. I've tried contacting them through online contact us but after three days they replied saying I have to add my credit card to the account. Do I need to add credit card for testing sandbox also?
You need to contact PayPal technical team at https://www.paypal-techsupport.com/app/ask , provide your sandbox PayPal account, they will enable DPRP for you.
customer make payment (with real/valid credit card) on test website that is linked with paypal sandbox account. paypal notfied them that $200 is deducted from their account with proper transaction id.
I can see that transaction id in sandbox business account but question is if real money is deducted from their accounts?
Same question if they use paypal to pay us instead of credit card while site was operating under test mode and linked with paypal sandbox business account.
The short answer is no. It is a self contained area for you to test all your paypal applications
From the paypal documentation
"The PayPal Sandbox is a self-contained, virtual testing environment that mimics the live PayPal production environment. It provides a shielded space where you can initiate and watch your application process the requests you make to the PayPal APIs without touching any live PayPal accounts."
Here is a link to some test credit card accounts paypal recommend you use with development of your paypal application

I'm using PayPal Website Payments Standard for implementing Donation button in our application.
I have added Guest check out feature to give flexibility to the Users to Donate even if they Donot wish to have a Paypal Account.
For testing purpose in sandbox, I tried donating via guest check out option by using one of the preconfigured paypal's account, by using its credit card information.
The donated amount is reflected in the statements of the receiver.
But the amount is not debitted from the Donor's paypal balance..
Please suggest what I am doing wrong here.
I need to test the guest check -out feature and see the amount debitted from the account.
Please help
If donor is using a credit card it would not affect the PayPal balance. Credit card is a funding source on the account but shouldn't be tied to the account balance because theoretically it is a line of credit.
Is there a way to test paypal micropayments in the sandbox? I can see where to upgrade the test account to paypal payments pro. But i don't see one for micropayments. I am trying to verify smaller transactions.
While it does not make much sense to see the pricing of sandbox transactions change, you can contact MTS under paypal.com/mts
give them the e-mail address of the sandbox merchant account you want to enable Micro Payments for and they should be able to activate it for that account.
I was trying to create Payflow Pro Sandbox account but i got to know that we have to use live account for testing. I created it by entering false credit card info but when i use false credit card information on click of 'Buy Now' Button it throws error "Credit card information is incorrect".
Can anybody help me in doing credit card test transactions through Payflow.
You do not need a "paid" Payflow account for testing. Go here and select Payflow Pro. Don't let the $99 set-up fee scare you away. You will be able to create the account without paying for testing purposes. You can submit test payments and see the transactions appear in your transaction history. That way you can get your code working before taking the plunge in activating your account for real live payments.
If you're sure you have Live Payflow Pro credentials, you can simply submit your API calls to https://pilot-payflowpro.paypal.com instead of https://payflowpro.paypal.com
Note: As you mention 'Buy now button', I'd double-check your actually using Payflow Pro, since PayPal's standard buttons are referred to 'Buy now buttons' as well. For these, you would use the Sandbox at https://developer.paypal.com/ and https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/
