I am attempting to use Paypal Sandbox for testing and making payments with Paypal on a test copy of my website. It appears to have stopped working correctly and I haven't made any changes my end so it looks like the issue is on Paypal's end.
If I click on a pay/buy now button for example, it takes me to Paypal where it offers me to create a paypal account or pay login with Paypal.
If I chose to login with Paypal by clicking "Log in" on the image below:
I am met with a warning in Chrome as you can see below, their certificate hasn't expired (expires in September 2017) so I am not really sure what NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID means.
If I tell chrome to proceed anyway it allows me to view a generic login screen:
However after logging in doesn't redirect me back to my website, nor does it even ask to confirm payment instead it just takes me to "My account" for that test Paypal account.
If I look at the "Complete payments" there is a correct £5 payment but it's listed as a pre-approved payment and isn't sending an IPN notification to my website.
Not sure what is going wrong... anyone have any advice?
Paypal have fixed the issue for payments & redirects, as for the SSL warning for now just Click "Advanced" and then "Proceed to sandbox3.paypal.com"

I am trying to test my WooCommerce shop with PayPal Sandbox enabled and one buyers and one sellers test account, respectively.
When I go to checkout and get asked to enter my email and password, the page is not redirecting what should be the confirmation of the payment next. The right side of the PayPal sandbox window turns blank (where the login was before).
Anyone know what is going wrong here?
Kindly clear the cache of your browser and try it again. Try to login with sandbox account
I'm configuring a paypal payment gateway in my website, at the moment a sandbox is configured and I'm using paypal standard. Everithing works fine except for some small thing I need to discuss with you:
after user (redirected to paypal site) make the payment is there a way to redirect automatically after the payment is done...I would avoid that user has to click the link: "return to xxx website". ( I have seen and used many websites that use to redirect to paypal but after payments is done the really automatically redirect to the website...without any additional click)
I have personalized the aspect of my page under paypal account (in sandbox mode) but when i test the payment the page is not personalized but show the standard one...so my question is personalized pages works under sandbox?
For paypal standard subscribe button is required an HTTPS protocol or they accept also normal urls?
1) If you are using PayPal Payments Standard (Buttons) then you will have the return to merchant at the checkout page, this is because the payment is complete at this point. What you are thinking when you are redirected back immediately is ExpressCheckout and the merchant can process the payment immediately or by user action.
2) Yes, personalized pages work in sandbox. You need to make sure it is set as primary
3) For PayPal Payments Standard you do not need HTTPS, as the payment is handled on the Paypal website.
I was successfully checking out orders before on Paypal's Sandbox. Today, the login form and the button to complete the payment suddenly fail to display. Anybody encountered this?
Looks like one of the many random browser cookie issues that PayPal's servers tend to have. I'd suggest logging out of any sandbox or live PayPal accounts you might be in, then completely close your browser out, open it up and try again.
I am using the standard paypal payment method with my opencart website. When I go through the checkout process and get redirected to the PayPal website, I get to login and choose my payment source on the paypal site. However, when it starts processing, it just returns "Your session has timed out, please log in again." and logs me out of Paypal.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had facing this problem also. If you are using sandbox mode, You should be gave test account for buyer(buyer account must be business account) and also seller account must be individual account(personal). for example xxx#gmail.com is buyer account you should put it in admin panel paypal extension,then you should login in E-store website with seller account(yyy#gmail.com) and proceed to paypal it will works well.
Some times the cookies that Paypal sets are really annoying, try cleaning all of them, it helped me with other Paypal related errors.
hi i am trying to integrating paypal standard in nop commerce 2.4. after i set required things in admin panel, when i don't use sandbox, the cart shows up alright. but, when i enabled "use sand box" and after proceeding to payment for paypal, the site redirect to paypal to show the paypal cart, it shows an empty page and says you should login first to use the sandbox, a message like that. but when I put the site in live mode, the redirect loads the paypal checkout page as usual. i don't understand what's the problem.

as i am not rep 10 i can't upload image:

When you set your cart to the sandbox, this is used for testing. You would need to set up a developer account with PayPal at PayPal's Developer Site. Once you have your developer account set up, you need to set up a test sandbox seller and buyer account. Then you would configure your shopping cart with your sandbox acct credentials if you are going to be testing with the sandbox. Then in a separate tab, log into PayPal's Developer Account if you are not already logged in. Then in a different tab, you can go through and test your checkout with the sandbox.
