I created a PayPal developer account and now try to create Sandbox REST API app. But when I want to select "Sandbox developer account" from the drop-down list it is empty and doesn't have any options.
What is the issue?
well thought it should be a bug on Paypal, I also face this problem sometimes. Then I check the profile of the biz account and see the message "We experienced some issues on our end while creating this Sandbox account. Please delete it and try again."
I just delete and re-create the biz account few times then it will work as normal.
You need to choose the account type as Business while creating the test account.Then that created app will apear in your list.

I am struggling to get a PayPal Sandbox up and running.
I am following the PayPal tutorial
Every time that I create an account, in both personal and business modes, the status is error and the profile notification says
Your sandbox account could not be created. Delete it and try again.
This even happens for the standard buyer/seller account which the Sandbox website creates when you register on the site.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
I am also just now working on setting up paypal integration. The developer portal's create account is just flat out broken is all i can conclude. go to sandbox.paypal.com and create an account, then in your developer portal under accounts instead of clicking create account, underneath it, their should be some text with a link in it to link a sandbox account by logging into it, click that. now that it's linked to your developer account you can duplicate the account to add funds to it.
Good luck getting it verified though, as i'm struggling to figure out how to actually link a bank account. Hopefully this gets you started.
I am trying to log into a PayPal sandbox account for testing purposes. But, I am continually met with the same error:
"We're sorry, something went wrong during sandbox account linking. Please try again."
Here are the steps to replicate the issue (happens in FireFox and Chrome).
Login to developer.paypal.com using live PayPal account credentials.
Navigate to Dashboard>>Sandbox Accounts
Click Create Account button.
Create account using any variety of options, e.g. personal, business account. New account is created.
Tick the checkbox next to new account listing.
Click link "Click here and provide credentials of your sandbox account."
Fill in login form using sandbox account credentials.
Click agree to terms button.
Redirected back to Sandbox Account page with "We're sorry" error.
This happens over and over with newly created accounts and existing sandbox accounts. I've tried changing passwords and settings for the accounts. I know a few years ago Chrome had a hard time juggling different cookies and sessions when logging in and out of sandbox accounts. So, I've also tried using multiple different browsers. Nothing seems to alleviate the issue.
Also, I thought maybe this issue was a temporary PayPal sandbox glitch, but I've been experiencing it for over a week.
Okay, I spoke with PayPal's technical support. It turns out that they are having some internal issues with the sandbox at the moment. If anyone else is having an issue with logging into one of their sandbox test accounts do the following:
Go back to the Sandbox Test Accounts page where it list all your test accounts.
Click on the email address of any sandbox account. There will be a drop down of "Profile" & "Notification".
Click on Profile and you shall see an iframe with a few tabs. You would be able to see the change password, change password.
Use this url to login to your sandbox account. https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/home
The key here is step 4. Don't click on the provided link labeled "Click here and provide credentials of your sandbox account." Copy and past the above URL into your browser instead.
When you are re-directed to the PayPal page to login, what URL is shown in the address bar ?
If it's "www.paypal.com" then you need to use your production account credentials.
If it's "www.sandbox.paypal.com" then you need to use your sandbox account credentials.
Hi there!
I recently created a paypal app in paypal developer, I entered informations on the app but still a warning is shown in the 'accept payments' area (see picture). Whats the error? ...there's no description at all!
There is an issue currently where users aren't able to submit new apps on Developer.PayPal.com. There are a couple potential workarounds that you may want to check.
Ensure that your Developer.PayPal.com account has a first and last name associated with it and that you have a "facilitator" account saved in the "Sandbox accounts" section. If you don't have a "facilitator" account you can add one by just creating a new account with the e-mail address formatted like this - xy-facilitator#domain.com
I'll update this thread again when a fix is released or if more information is provided.
Edit: The issue where valid accounts were unable to submit an application should be fixed now. Make sure that the account you're requesting an app for is on this list and you should be good to go: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/rest_api_payment_country_currency_support/
I recently done this on developer paypal portal.i had also this mark on my app but after filling the information and we need to include mass payment in our app so we just contacted paypal to enable this feature as this is disabled by default and developer needs to contact paypal to enable this.So now i have approved status on my app and no alert mark for any info.
i have some difficulties creating test account in sandbox. I found some similar topics but i still can't understand what to do.
For example this one "How to create test account with PayPal Payments Pro (Use to represent yourself as a merchant using Pro) option selected in sandbox?"
It says login in developers site, ok, done with that. Then "click on the link Preconfigured". What link? I can't find it. It just does not exist on that page and on any other that i searched.
Why i cannot login to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com with my seller account from sandbox, but it's possible to login using clients accounts (personal) from sandbox.
Do i need to apply to Paypal Payments Pro after i registered my sandbox account, and if i need why do i get "Service is not responding due to an internal error. Please contact customer service at +1-888-883-9770.". Also what social security number do i have to use(i just want to check integration with paypal, i dont have any bank accounts or social security numbers. i'm not even from usa)?
Do i need to accept licence agreement and where can i find it? According to this document https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/642/kw/10501 it's located somewhere inside the "Merchant Services" tab. After about an hour of search i found it in old interface. When i click it i'm being redirected to "My account".
Please, help me somebody. I'm sick and tired of that buggy, laggy and terribly designed paypal's site.
Once you are logged into developer.paypal.com, click "Applicatons", then click "Sandbox accounts". You see a blue button at the top of the page that says "Create Account". When you create a business account, you will automatically be signed up for PayPal Payments Pro.
You can then grab your API credentials by clicking the "Profile" link from developer.paypal.com.
Edit:
Updating answer with additional information about creating test accounts.
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
I have logged into the new paypal developer site and clicked import to bring over my old account data which is listed here:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/applications/accounts
When I click on the business TEST account and view the profile of the account, the API credentials (username and password) are blank. Then when I click the link to the Sandbox Site and try to log in with said test account, it says "Please login to use the PayPal Sandbox features.", in which I am already logged in, even if I click the link back to the sandbox. So basically I am stuck.. I need to use the classic API for now and cannot test because the sandbox is evidently broken.
If you have not already tried this, please try clearing all of your cache and cookies prior to accessing the developer.paypal.com site. Also try using a different browser other than IE. If you can then log in, try to navigate to the test sandbox account and log into your test seller account and view the API credentials from the profile. There are some issues that are currently being looked into with the launch of the new developer site, and they are being addressed as quickly as possible.
Also as a work around, I am not sure of the testing that you are needing to do specifically but you could try using the API credentials that are included with the SDK. You would be able to make API calls with those credentials. However, you would just not be able to sign into the seller account to see those transactions.
If you have not already done so, you may also want to file a ticket with PayPal Merchant Technical Services at www.paypal.com/mts so that they can look into your issue if it is not already being looked into. By filling out a ticket, this will help to gauge the number of merchants being effected by a particular issue, and this allows you to be notified once the issue is resolved.
