Is Paypal sandbox still operational ? or is it an empty nutshell not usable anymore ? After creating correctly a Merchant Sandbox Account, I ma now fighting with PP sandbox to create a simple Buyer Sandbox Account.... the status is first processing then it comes to error without any additional information !!!
What's make me mad , is this (Hamlet's) info message displayed ( success or not success, that is the question)
Your sandbox account was successfully created.
Then nothing happen anymore...
And If I refresh the page I get
Looking into the Profile of this error account.. I can see all the details of the account (settings, etc...) with the following information at the bottom:
Your sandbox account could not be created. Delete it and try again.
Am I wrong somewhere ? or is the sandbox not working correctly ?
UPDATE 1
It seems I can only create Merchant ( Business) accounts ... I added one more andd used it as a buyer... but doing this bypass the issue, it does not solved it
UPDATE 2
I tried to used a buyer sandbox account ven with the error status displayed ... and It works !! so this is a PP bug....
This is a PayPal bug without any incidence on the createc buyer accounts...
I used them despite the (error' status on the dashboard and they work fine ..

I've integrated PayPal Express Checkout using the method at https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integrate/#1-set-up-your-development-environment , with the JS SDK.
Everything works fine and I am able to create a button with the amount and the transaction succeeds. However, I don't see the money coming into the sandbox business account. I do see the transaction on the sandbox personal account, but it's pending on approval from seller, which I don't see there.
Not sure if this is sandbox behaviour or if I have something wrong.
The src script which I load is:
https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=${clientId}¤cy='CAD'&disable-funding='credit,card,bancontact,blik,eps,giropay,ideal,mybank,p24,sepa,sofort,venmo'
Any help would be appreciated.
The most likely problem is that the receiving account's email address is not confirmed in sandbox.
To check, navigate to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/businessprofile/settings/email , log in with the receiving sandbox account, and resend any necessary confirmation message
To open the confirmation message, log in with your live developer account at https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Fnotifications%2F and follow the link there to do the confirmation
I setup a test Magento site with paypal payment pro on a sandbox account, sandbox account does have business-pro enable, when I test my first transaction, everything was good, order create and sandbox payment received, but when I'm testing again with same test credit number or others provided by paypal, I'm now getting this #10548: Invalid Configuration error.
I know that usually this error occur when the account is not business pro enabled, but I recheck again and it is enabled, I even create 2 more merchant test account with business pro enabled and still get the same error. Why did first transaction was OK and now it can't process?
To validate that this doesnt have anything to do with an isssue on your end, I would recommend you to use this site http://chadcaples.com/index.php/classic-api-s/nvp-quick-test
Enter your sandbox API credentials, sandbox mode and choose DoDirectPayment API. If you didnt receive any error, the issue might be on your end.
If even using this site you still receive the error, can you post the full response?
I have been searching for a solution for this really hard but I can't find any answers as to where the problem is really coming from have been setting up paypal sandbox account for testing but it doesn't work have been clearing my cache many times but still it returns me this error:
This Sandbox email address is not available. Please enter another email address.
I make sure the account I use is already set on sandbox and it's a personal account, please I need more help as to know where this problem is coming from, don't know what to do on this one anymore. also even deleting previous paypal sandbox account doesn't even work!
Here's one possibility. I was running into that same error just a couple of days ago and realized what it was.
I have 2 separate PayPal accounts that are setup with developer.paypal.com. They each have 3 or 4 sandbox accounts created within them.
I had just recently been to developer.paypal.com and logged in with one of my PayPal accounts, so that session was active in my browser. Then I was trying to complete a sandbox checkout using one of the sandbox accounts associated with my other PayPal account, and that's when I was getting that error that the email address was not available.
I went back to developer.paypal.com and logged out of the account I had signed in there, and then specifically logged in with the other account that was associated with the sandbox account I was trying to use. Once I did that the error went away and I was able to use the sandbox as expected.
Hope all that made sense. Just a shot in the dark as it's the only time I've seen this error myself.
i'm having troubles trying to get IPN work inside my sandbox.
I have a developer paypal account and i imported 2 sandbox account. Now i suppose to have 2 ways to test IPN:
IPN Simulator
Setting my IPN address in sandbox options
but i have problems in both of them.
If try to use the IPN simulator everytime i try to send an IPN page starts loading for some minutes and then Chrome gives me a "empty page response" response. After some googling it appers IPN simulator have some problem with non standard ports but my page can run only on port 12000. My page is reachable, i checked from inside and outside my network, it works for all except the ipn simulator.
I have no more luck trying to set IPN address on sandbox, simply because i have no settings at all to access. I logged to sandbox and got a page where i'm supposed to login with my sandbox account, but i get a different login from mine on the upper right corner of the page (thats the original sandbox account, now that sandbox and main account are merged all this mess happen) and when i try to login with sandbox account i get a generic
This sandbox mail is not available. Try another mail address
If i try to create a new sandbox account i always get this error:
We're sorry but something went wrong.Please delete this account and
try again.
So.. i'm basically stuck. What i can do to test my ipn now?
edit for be more clear:
i used to have a sandbox and a main paypal account, now they are merged
i login to both sandbox and developer section with my main account now
even if logging in sandbox with my main account i get logged as my old sandbox account
after this first sandbox login if i try to log my sandbox account (listed in developer.paypal.com) i get that "Sandbox mail not available" error
in developer.paypal.com i can't create any new sandbox account, getting error everytime. I found that you got that error if password is not 8-20 chars long and now i'm using a correct lenght password but i'm still getting that error
edit2: i successfully created a new sandbox account!
to get that i had to:
use an US account (i was using italian)
use password with: uppercase, lowercase, special characters, numbers
initial balance import < 1000 usd
but i still can't login this account inside the sandbox, always same error. I'm hating this.
Non-standard ports really are not supported at this time, so you'll run into a myriad of different issues over time. The initial IPN delivery may work, but the re-sending of a single message may not, etcetera.
Can you use something like http://progrium.com/localtunnel/ perhaps?
With regards to the account creation:
For discussion's sake, let's stick to the right terminology; you use a developer account to log into https://developer.paypal.com/, and a Sandbox account to log into https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/
Is the account you're trying to log into via www.sandbox.paypal.com a Sandbox account listed under Applications > Sandbox accounts?
I have paypal sandbox account. Everything works fine for single payments - I set business=test#gmail.com and make a payment using ..._biz#gmail.com account which was created under "Test Accounts" menu of the sandbox. However when I try to do the same for recurring payments, I get an error. At first everything looks fine - I get redirected to paypal where I can see the detail of subscription but when I try to sign in with ..._biz#gmail.com, it redirects me to a page that says: The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.
Thanks ahead!
Well, I am not fully sure what exactly was wrong but in case someone else has the same problem and stumbles on this question: all I had to do is re-create both seller and buyer test accounts from under my main sandbox account. The accounts that I tested on seemed valid but they were created many months (if not years) ago so probably paypal had some wrong (i.e. old) configs associated with them. The newly created accounts work just fine.
