Working on a sandbox, Paypal will always send me back and IPN message with the pair payment_status:pending.
I know that this might happen due to different currencies and that I can change settings in my account to accept different currencies.
But, I am using the service when a seller and a buyer that I don't know make a transaction, so I can not do anything about it .
Is there a way to allow any currency in the POST request ?
What really the seller see when the payment status is pending ?
If the payment status will change to completed later, how will my IPN message look? there is nothing that says how the object from IPN will look when status is changing ? how can I handle such change ?
Solved by sending money to the sandbox account and not to my real live account.
So, you must send funds from a sandbox email to another sandbox email.
Create another merchant account on the developer website
Send money from a sandbox buyer to a sandbox seller

I am testing my payment integration using PayPal Sandbox
When I go to make payment using a sandbox account, the following message displays on the payment page
To use your balance next time, go to your PayPal account for an
identity check.
If I log into the sandbox account, I am not seeing any way to do this.
How do I set up the sandbox account so that it can use PayPal funds for the payment rather than the credit card option?
It doesn't matter how you are funding the payment in sandbox. There's no actual reason for you to be bothering to care about this issue, since the result of a completed PayPal payment on the receiver end will be identical.
But since you ask, you can create a bank verified account via https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Faccounts%2F
Been a while since I've dealt with PP IPN. Anyway - reworking an old client's checkout processing - one option is PP and we used IPN. I still have a sandbox acct and used the sandbox url instead of the live PP url.
I see the purchase and a correct debit to my sandbox acct - AND I received an email from the client's server (which is sent only when the IPN is received). But the email is a bit odd in that it says....
*** THIS PAYPAL PAYMENT IS IN A PENDING STATE.
THE REASON GIVEN BY PAYPAL IS: unilateral
THIS ORDER CANNOT BE FULFILLED UNTIL THE PAYPAL STATE IS
CHANGED FROM PENDING TO COMPLETED. ***
Is there some way for me to complete the transaction in my sandbox account? It's a purchaser account - not a merchant account. Or does my client need to go into his live merchant account to handle the test purchase?
Thanks (any pointers to relevant docs are also welcome)
Make sure that the email address you are using for testing in the sandbox, is linked to an actual sandbox account and is confirmed. This some times the case when the email address is not tied to an account and verified. You would need to log into the sellers test sandbox account, verify that the email address is linked to that account and confirmed/verified.
I am trying to test PayPal payments that are authorised at a later date, examples being Pay on Delivery or a Bank Transfer.
I have created a new sandbox account with no credit/debit cards and £0 in the PayPal balance but when I come to make a payment I have to add a card.
I have set up a bank account and agreed the mandate so I must have something set up wrong somewhere because these type of payments happen in LIVE and we have an issue with the IPN message that comes X number of days later once the payment has cleared so I am trying to reproduce this to investigate.
Have you tried using the IPN Tester? (here after you log into your Sandbox account) https://developer.paypal.com/developer/ipnSimulator/ .
All sorts of conditions that you can test your 'listener' process against there.
I've been working (or should I say struggling) with the PayPal SDK to get recurring billing running for my website. I managed to get it to work, however I do not see how to automatically "claim" the money?
Basically what happens is:
The profile is created, after 24 hours the payment is done and I see the following in my merchant sandbox account:
It seems I need to manually accept the payment for the amount to be added to my PayPal balance.
Is there a way of doing this automatically?
This is usually caused by an issue with the recipient's account. Most commonly, The recipient hasn’t confirmed the email address on their PayPal account. Once the email address is confirmed the amount would automatically post to the balance on future payments.
I'm working with oscommerce and i have problem with Paypal ipn When someone makes a payment, even though the money is coming through OK, on the backend of the website it is saying it is unverified
something like that
: PayPal IPN Verified [Completed (Unverified; $99.90).
I get the email "Notification of payment received" so why is it still pending?
any idea?
Thanks in advance
The "Unverified" there may mean the buyer has not finished the Paypal account/address verification process.
This information is included in the variable payer_status:
Possible Values
verified Customer has a Verified PayPal account.
unverified Customer has an Unverified PayPal account.
