Sandbox Not Working - paypal

I keep getting the following from PayPal sandbox when needing to make an Adaptive payment:
We can't process your payment right now, so please try again later. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
Is the sandbox having issues again?

It may caused by unstable Sandbox environment. Please try again or you can try on live site.

Having trouble completing paypal payin3 transaction

I have integrated paypal payin3 (paylater) option on my website. I am testing it on sandbox when I try to complete the process at the end it shows an error which I am not able to fix despite I spent many hours to fix it. Anyone has an idea how to fix it. see the below image
Appears to be a sandbox problem. If the PayPal page is opening normally and regular PayPal payments work (not selecting Pay in 3), then there's nothing more you need to do.

Creating sandbox test payments in Shopify with PayPal?

Is there a way to test paypal transactions in shopify development?
I have tried adding sandbox emails but it keeps giving me Some of your info isn't correct. Please try again. --- I have updated the passwords to ensure everything is correct. I assume Shopify is not allowing this?
Is there a way to integrate paypal sandbox?
It's important that it is PayPal and not credit cards in general.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Really not trying to use real money for a few simple tests as it seems Shopify is suggesting here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/paypal/set-up-paypal#testing-paypal
It doesn't seem Shopify offers the option to turn on sandbox mode, probably because it's unnecessary and confusing for most of their users.
Shopify has already done all the integration with PayPal, there is no need to test anything repeatedly. Just make sure it's working before launch.

PayPal IPN not working in sandbox

I'm brand new to setting up IPN's. I've built websites, but never a subscription site like the one I'm building now. I'd like to set up a recurring monthly subscription option and a recurring yearly subscription option.
My website is built on Joomla 3 and I'm using a plugin for the subscription module. I set up the PayPal subscription buttons just as explained in the directions, which I followed to the letter. Nevertheless, when I go to test it in the PayPal sandbox, I keep getting the same error, which says that it wasn't sent and the handshake wasn't made, and to check my settings. That's all it says. I don't know if the issue is with my site, my server or the settings I'm entering into the actual sandbox. I checked with my server and they said there's nothing wrong on their end. Do I need an SSL for the integration to work?
Please keep in mind that, while I can follow explicit directions, I'm so new at this that I don't even know how to access my 'listener,' so if you respond, please let me know where to find things, if necessary.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated - I've been at this for 12 hours now and I'm at a complete loss.
This issue has two sides
1. Is Paypal IPN enabled on the sandbox account where you are trying to receive the payments
2. You would need a IPN listener script to get the IPN notifications
This process is the same for Sandbox or live mode

PayPal sandbox doesn't work

I'm newbie in PayPal.
I've got the issue to integrate PayPal into mobile app. So there's in my dev account I see myLiveApp application. When I choose it and choose the sandbox I see "Something went wrong while fetching the sandbox application details. Please try again.You can still access the Live application details".
What does it mean? What I got to do for testing my payments in my application?
As a test environment, sandbox is not always so stable :( Could you please try clear the browser's cookies and try again ?
You will have to wait like me too, I have the same issue. Your best bet is to wait and see if any changes occur, that's the best answer I can give you.

do direct payment api: no response from paypal sandbox

I'm using the codeigniter library from angelleye's library (http://www.angelleye.com/download-codeigniter-php-library-for-paypal-payments-pro/).
For a few days, it worked smoothly without any errors. Today when I tested it I got no response from paypal.
I contacted the author(Andrew), and he said that the paypal sandbox server is timing out with the do direct payment.
My question is, how do I fix this?
The PayPal sandbox does that at times, and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it but wait on PayPal to get things working smoothly.
The sandbox has been running great for awhile now, but it seems that with many of the recent changes they're making (they're working on a new sandbox, and they're pushing PayFlow more than DirectPayment now) the DirectPayment API on the sandbox has been suffering.
In fact, just now I was about to respond and let you know that last time I tried it was working fine. I went to test it and sure enough, it timed out again. I tried again, though, and it worked fine. So unfortunately, the sandbox is just pretty hit and miss these days with DirectPayment.
You could always switch to PayFlow, which is what they're pushing these days, and my library supports it now if you have the latest version.
