I tried to build the Paypal Express Checkout. Last week all runs smoothly, I can create REST API app and the sandbox account as well.
But today, All the details is removed.
And there is this warning
We’re sorry, but something went wrong while getting your credentials.
Please try again.
When I tried to create a new app/new sandbox account it says
We're sorry, something went wrong during account creation. Please try
again.
After some googling and trying some of the solutions like "password is too weak", I realise that all the solutions are from years ago and all the screenshot is the old PayPal interface.
I would assume that this is related to the new PayPal.
PS: I am from Australia and have read the "Non-US developers should read our FAQ"
Anyone know how should I create REST API App?
This is not the correct way to create the API, but this resolves my problem instantly.
I had the same problem. The "Sandbox developer account" dropdown box had no entries although I had set up accounts before - so I couldn't create an app. After some trial and error hacking I finally found a way to inject a valid option in the html select and successfully created the app in the end.
Here's how:
Log in to your developer.paypal.com profile and go to Sandbox - Accounts.
Just use Firebug in Firefox or Developer Tools in Chrome to examine the source: Check the source of your BUSINESS account and you will find a code line like this:
<a class="profile" target="/developer/accounts/detail/22971020450123198612">Profile</a>
Note the id (e.g. 22971020450123198612), the country code (e.g. GB) and the email address.
Now go to Dashboard - My Apps & Credentials and press "Create app"
Open Firebug/Dev. Tools and examine the "Sandbox developer account" dropdown box. Right-Click the empty select in the dom and choose "Edit as HTML". Enter an option tag with your formerly noted values, just like this:
<option value="2297102045097598612,email#domain.com">email#domain.com (US)</option>
Check that the option now appears in the dropdown box.
Enter a name in the "App name" field and press "Create app".
That's it. Hope I could help.

My test invocation name is "Mrs Tang", so i input "Talk to Mrs Tang", but it responds "Sorry, this action is not available in simulation"...
Does anybody know How can I resolve this error?
According to the doc:
Turn on the Web & App Activity, Device Information, and Voice & Audio
Activity permissions on the Activity controls page for your Google
account. You need to do this to use the Actions Simulator, which lets
you test your actions on the web without a hardware device.
And I had do what Jeremy Gordon suggested. To add a second google account in the GCP IAM console with a viewer action permission and then login with this second google account in an incognito window for the web simulator to work.
I had a related problem (I could test with my main developer account, but not my test credentials). I eventually got it working with the non-primary account.
The missing link for me was that when I was viewing the simulator, I was actually signed in to two accounts, my primary google account (developer account, shows up in the main frame of the page, upper right corner), and the account I authorized when 'starting' the simulator (email address shows up in the simulator frame), which was my test credentials. The second test account repeatedly gave me the "Sorry, this action is not supported in simulation" message, until I:
1) Added the test account as a Conversation API Viewer & Client in GCP IAM console
2) Visited the 'create link' (the one that comes up when you click share) in an incognito window, and signed into the secondary account there such that I was signed into only one account in that incognito window.
After that, invocations connected to the app.
Make sure you are logged into the same account you used to deploy the test action and that the deployment has been done within the past half hour or so. If you have not set all the information on the Actions on Google Console, you may need to use the invocation phrase "Talk to my test app".
I think sometimes I run into the same error. I get past it by toggling the Active switch off and on.
Same problem I encountered. You must be logged in via the secondary google account. Do logout from the account and login via the account that is paired with api.ai.
why I can't use google action in web simulator
I got this to work by saying "talk to my test app" or typing it in to the simulator prompt, that triggered my app to start in the simulator.
I had the same problem. I needed to set the location first (it defaults to Google-Headquaters), if you are in some other region (like in germany as i am).
Then go on with "Mit meiner Test-App sprechen" (Talk to my test app), or whatever it is in your language!
I did not get this message on my invocation, but on my my second input:"Sorry, this action is not available for your app.".
It turns out the simulator had left the conversation right after the invocation (and it did mention that in the small print).
This happened because I returned a FinalResponse for the invocation. And a final response is pretty final, it will terminate your conversation.
So, after a FinalResponse you can only get back in your action/conversation by a new invocation or a deep link. If you want to suggest questions/inputs, then you should return ExpectedInputs.
You might need to turn on Web & App Activity to let group members use some Google Assistant features.(if you are using organizational account)
https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7219584?hl=en
If you are using any organization's Google Accounts then there might be an access issue. So use your own personal Gmail account.
Take a look here, organization's might not be given you access. So use your personal Gmail and follow the Docs, you will able to create your agent/ actions and able to test it with simulator as well as in android device.
At time of testing the Google Action you need to set the location to the country which you selected while developing or submitting your Google Action.
By default US is selected in testing but if your action is for one particular country only then you need to select that. You can see in image the field where you can select location
I really need your help guys. Since two hours I'm facing with a very strange problem related to Paypal Sandbox. I read lot of answers here on stack overflow but none of them helps me.
I'll try the explain my problem: when I create a new sandbox account (respecting all rules like password strength, load balance etc.) I receive the "success" message, the account is created and visible in the list, but when I open it using "Profile" button I receive this error message (and is really a problem because I need to get the username, password and signature to work in sandbox mode):
Account Details
Your request is still processing, please wait...
No difference between "Buyer" or "Seller" account, it always fail.
I've tried in many ways (using notes, changing email address, using custom numbers into email) but nothing is work for me.
Someone can suggest me what can I do?
Thank you very much.
I think I've found a temporary solution to works with PayPal sandbox.
Instead of create an account using "Create Account" button you have to register a new account using sandbox website.
In details:
Go To: https://sandbox.paypal.com
Register a Business Account
Go To: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/ and click con "Click Here". This link is placed in the Second paragraph of the page:
Want to link existing Sandbox Account with your developer account? Click Here and provide credentials of your sandbox account
You will be redirect to sandbox paypal web site, if you don't do anything it will recognize your previous register account (anyway, if not, you have to login with the new created account), procede with linking process and after you will have, in the list of accounts, a new one with "Profile" button ready to show you informations necessary to works.
I don't understand way paypal release an important tool like this with a lot of bugs. No response received from no one.
BugPal your are luky because we needs you but please, improve your development process! :#
Looks like a general problem on Paypal side. We see same issues with two of our accounts. It was working last friday.
I've signed in to the developer website but when I go to the apps page to create my app I see the following error message:
Problem creating sandbox facilitator account [Error code: 2001]
When I look on the sandbox accounts page I see there is a facilitator account there (xxx-facilitator#xxxx.xxx)
When I click the "create app" button the "sandbox developer account" dropdown is empty and when I try to create an app I get the following error message:
We’re sorry, but something went wrong while creating the application. Please try again.
So far I've:
created new sandbox users
submitted a query to paypal's tech support (no response)
left it a day and tried again
logged in, logged out...

I got the 'Problem creating sandbox facilitator account' error as well but it was with a different error code of 'TAGETLIST404-20141017053750'. Obviously the suffix is just a timestamp.
The problem seemed to have been caused by the Oauth login popup that initially returned a timeouted session error but appeared to have still logged in anyway as it showed my name in the topright corner. But trying to create new apps returned the sandbox facilitator error.
Clearing cookies and logging in again, not getting the timeout error seemed to fix it and I could create accounts. I know this isn't a great answer but it's something to try.
I waited two days, and the error messages regarding the facilitator account went away. I was then able to make a new business account. This then allowed me to create a REST app without error.
I had the same problem and fixed it by just editing the source a bit.
Right click on the dropdown for your account if it's empty and click on Inspect element in your browser.
Inside the tags for the dropdown, add your email in tags. The email should be of a valid sandbox account that you had created.
For example, if you'd like to add a sandbox account with the email business#example.com,
add business#example.com within the select tags.
Seems like it's something easily fixable from Paypal's side but they haven't bothered fixing it yet.
for PayFlow API - allow up to 3 hours for the change to go into effect.after 3 hours it saved data while clicking.
In my case my primary email account was not confirm. after confirm it allow me
Today, I've just encoutered the same error with you. The problem is how Paypal raise the error, which made us very confuse. The error they should raise is: " You have not created any developer account yet, create an account and try again".
And here is how I fix it:
Go to: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts
Create a BUSINESS sandbox account.
Go back and try create app again to see if it work.
I've seen other postings where people can't load "My Selling Tools" and I happen to be in the same boat.
Support hasn't responded yet and I'm hoping to do a demo Monday of the Windows 8/Paypal API integration from http://paypal.github.io/Windows8SDK/ into WinRT apps - hence turning to may favorite net community, stack overflow :)
The link above gives a sandbox account to allow for third party access, so trying to add that account to allow the third party access but can't even bring up the selling tools to do so. I was able to bring up the selling tools from my main login, but not from within the sandbox login.
Once I login to the sandbox environment and try to access "My Selling Tools" it just hangs. The browser doesn't matter, same result across browsers. I get nothing returned but the wait image. Actually anything on the left hand side hangs not just the selling tools. I've tried more than ten times all throughout the day.
Of course, the hope here is that someone from the PayPal Technical team replies.
I can't wait another hour on hold, I just can't.
I was having the same issues getting into any option on the left in Paypals seller tools, but I stumbled onto the solution.
The links on the left are incorrect. They all begin with "www.beta-sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/..."
The issue is that "beta-" in the URL is invalid.
Using Chrome:
1) Right-click on the option on the left you want to get into
2) Click "Copy Link Address" in the pop-up menu
3) Paste it into the address bar
4) Remove "beta-" from the URL (see the "Profile / My Selling Tools" URL example below)
That's it.
INVALID:
https://www.beta-sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-display-handler&tab_id=SELLER_PREFERENCES
CORRECT:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-display-handler&tab_id=SELLER_PREFERENCES
Hope this helps.

I'll make sure this gets escalated. As a workaround, you can log in to your sandbox account and then paste this URL in your browser: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-api-access. Could you also reference this post in your ticket if you have not done so yet?

DISCLAIMER: This question is specifically for the Paypal forum.
I have two Sandbox test accounts. parijat_kalia#hotmail.com (PERSONAL) and parijat_kalia-facilitator#hotmail.com (BUSINESS). The second one has the API credentials and I am using the NVP API to test our e-commerce subscription plan
. The response I get is :
10501: Invalid Configuration This transaction cannot be processed due to an invalid merchant configuration. Occurs when the billing agreement is disabled or inactive.
Hence, to activate it, I presume I need to log in with this sandbox account into the sandbox website so as to activate the billing agreement. The steps I follow are pretty basic.
Login to developers.paypal.com
Click on Applications tab in the horizontal menu
Click on Sandbox accounts in the vertical menu
Click on the specific accounts 'parijat_kalia-facilitator#hotmail.com' dropdown arrow button.
Click on Sandbox site
When i click on sandbox site, it loads in the PERSONAL account in the email i.e 'parijat_kalia#hotmail.com'. I obviously change this and try to login with the business account credentials. However it does not log me in whatsoever. I have changed the password, literally copy pasted it, but it does not work. Nor does deleting the cookies/clearing the cache and terminating the history help. Also, I am using Chrome, not IE.
Also, I presume this error is with Paypal's sandbox website, since the API call is technically logging me in with the credentials (I infer this since I am getting error 10501).
Can you please tell me what is going wrong?
I had an issue similar to that the other day. I was trying to switch from one developer account to another, but it kept logging me in as the first one. So, I couldn't use any of the sandbox accounts for the 2nd account.
I circumvented this issue by switching to private browsing mode in chrome (ctrl+shift+N) and logging in that way.
I can't guarantee this will fix your issue because it's not the same as mine, but it might help.
Misplacedme's answer worked for me, but I don't have enough rep yet, so I'll reply and add some info.
Chrome: Use an Incognito Window (ctrl+shift+N)
Opera: Use a New Private Window (ctrl+shift+N)
IE: No need for special window. It works as it used to.
Firefox: No need for special window. It works as it used to.
Safari: No need for special window. It works as it used to.
Note: These are all on a Windows 8 PC (sorry, I know most people in their right mind aren't using win8 much less developers)
