I am working with WordPress and will be setting up online shops using PayPal for multiple clients.
Can I create a single PayPal Sandbox Developer Account through my personal PayPal merchant account and then use that to test my integrations for different clients? In other words, I want all the transaction emails to come to me while testing and not to my clients.
Thanks in advance!
If sites are all going to create the same call then yes, that what I normally do, Il include my PayPal login and once I'm done testing I simply include the client PayPal login instead.

We are a team of completely junior developers and we'd like to know if there's a way to split incoming payments -equally- into different accounts, wether it's through Paypal or other platform.
For example, we would send a link button to the client to make the payment, let's say $100, and we would like to be automatically split into 2 accounts (50%-50%) or 3 accounts (33%-33%-33%).
Is there a way to do that?
Should we create a special type of account to be able to access that functionality? (for example I have my personal -non business- account on Paypal, should we create a business account in order to be able to have that split payment option and, from there, split it into my personal account and my partner's?)
Should we use another platform instead of Paypal?
Should we integrate the code into a website with the Paypal payment method? or can it just be a link that we send to the client, let's say, via email?
Are there easier ways to solve this (for example with crypto -binance or sth like that-)?
We are completely lost on this topic since we're just starting, so any advice would do.
Thanks in advance!!
For PayPal, after receiving the payment into a single account you control, you could (as separate transactions) send some of that amount to other account(s) using Payouts, which you can request access to. Approval may or may not be granted for your use case.
Without Payouts, a manual sending from that single account to others can be done in the www.paypal.com account interface, using the Send Money feature.
After X hours of searching and lost-ing inside documentation and this community, I understand that, if :
I'm non US developer
my client is not a US company
I want integrate Paypal in market-place
sending several emails to Paypal support
I need to:
register as Business Account US in paypal.com ( and not in sandbox )
find an US user because I'm not, otherwise I need to fake my address, zip code and state
enter in developer.paypal.com
Someone can answer me YES ? or the right procedure ?
Thanks

"I'm a non-U.S. developer. What products are available to me?
The REST API supports a number of countries and currencies. The REST API provides simple payment processing for common business needs, including PayPal payments, direct credit card payments, authorization and capture, and refunds. For more advanced payment solutions such as parallel and recurring payments, you can use the NVP/SOAP APIs.
If you've previously used our NVP/SOAP APIs, you can continue to use them. Using your old Sandbox email address and password, you can import existing Sandbox accounts on the Sandbox Accounts page."

I am building website which requires customer to update paypal account.
Is there anyway to check the reality of customer's account?
When my customer fill out their paypal account in my site, I want them to be directed to paypal login page to login and paypal will return the result.
Does paypal api support this situation?
Pretty much any implementation of PayPal you choose would follow the flow you mentioned.
Payments Standard would allow you to create basic buttons or create an HTML form and POST directly to PayPal to process. It would send the user to PayPal for login and approval to complete the payment. The transaction details would include the payer status (verified or unverified) as well as the address status (confirmed or unconfirmed) and lots of other details about the order.
Express Checkout is basically the API version of Standard, but it's much more advanced and open to integrate in the way that works best for your site or application. In this case, some of buyer/transaction data is available during the process within your app through API requests and responses, and then you can also get to it via transaction details after the fact just like payments standard provides.
Another option would be to use Adaptive Payments, but if you're doing a general payment of any kind you probably don't need that. That's what you would use if/when you start wanting to split payments among multiple receivers within the same transaction, setup preapproval profiles, etc.
If you happen to be working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make the API calls very simple for you.
You could do what PayPal itself does when you register. Send them a few cents and have them tell you how many when they get it. The payment itself will fail if the account doesn't exist, and telling you how many cents proves that they own the account.
I'm looking to create temporary accounts that can accept money & perform payments.
I want it to be automatically so probably I will need to use some API, Maybe PAyPal API...
Can I do it via Paypal?
Thanks
Paypal doesnt give temprary accounts. Even to test your application you need two actual accounts. Except in case of sandbox.
Regarding your need of creating account via api, you need to haveseparate accounts.
Either you can use paypal and create su merchant, this need very high security.
Or you can locate services like bancbox , i am sure there are similar services out there to use banking and financial connections. but bancbox is a good choice to begun with.
You can
1. Search for paypal addaptive accounts
2. bancbox.com
I was using Paypal Sandbox for testing transactions last year using my PayPal developer account.
I just checked last week that I cannot access my old account, so I decided to sign up for a new account. However, you need now to sign up for a business account. Business account is only available to U.S. businesses (I came from outside the US).
I was hoping if you can suggest an alternative and free developer account (similar to PayPal), but with a different payment gateway.
Thank you.
How about stripe ?
Stripe
Uses a JavaScript based API to complete transactions.
Simpler to integrate with multiple platforms.
You don't need a US Business account to use developer.paypal.com.
Simply sign up via https://www.paypal.com/ for a live PayPal account, either Premier or Business, and you'll be able to log in to developer.paypal.com with it.
Note however that the new REST API is currently available for live US Business accounts only, but this won't affect the availability of other Sandbox products or functionality.
I'll look into why the messaging states that you do, because that's not correct. Thanks for pointing this out!
