Where can I find the MerchantId in a PayPal Sandbox for a Business account?
I need it to fill the merchant_id property for a Payee object (a third party who will receive part of a payment via credit card), which is then added to a Transaction.
I use the .NET SDK but it doesn't matter in this case.
Visit https://www.sandbox.paypal.com and login using your sandbox account credentials. If you need to reset the password, you can do that via the dashboard of the developer site (https://developer.paypal.com)
Once you login, click "Profile" near the top. Your Merchant Account ID will either be listed near the top, or about 2/3rds of the way down the screen.
The instructions for setting up Payment Data Transfer (PDT) among PayPal's Developer documentation speak about configuring a Return URL:
...This information is sent to the Return URL you specified in your PayPal account profile
Further down the page it gives more information about how to configure a "Return URL" for a PayPal account, but I can't find any correspondence with the user interface for my Sandbox account (or any of my "Sandbox Test Accounts").
When I select the Profile page for one of my (business) Sandbox Test Accounts there are four tabs of options available:
Profile
API Credentials
Funding
Settings
...none of these list a "Return URL" field.
Does anyone know where this field may be found?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: adding screenshot of Sandbox PayPal account page and Profile drop-down menu (all items in the drop-down menu return navigation to the same page shown in the screenshot!)
For that you have to:
1. go to sandbox.paypal.com
2. log in using one of your testing accounts
3. Under profile select "My Selling tools"
4. In "Website preferences" click "update"
5. Here you can set the Return URL
(this is probably the url to access after you log in: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-website-payments
For live accounts is basically the same process.
I specified an amount that was too low for my testing needs, when creating a personal paypal sandbox account. Is there any way to add money to an account, after it has been created?
If you need actual funds in that account you could use Send Money from another sandbox account and pay the account you want to fund.
You really don't need funds in the account to test payments, though. As long as the account is verified and confirmed it'll fall to "Instant Transfer" and you won't have any problems sending payments using that account.
Login using your developer PayPal account https://developer.paypal.com/
Go to 'My Account' on the top right section of the page.
Go to Accounts under Sandbox.
See your sandbox account and click on the Clone link.
Fill the details and mention the amount you want to have and click on Create.
This is helpful in case if the amount in the existing sandbox account is exhausted.
Don't go to sandbox, go to developer.paypal.com
Log in with your real paypal account (not sandbox).
Go to Sandbox - > Accounts on the left.
Click in the button "Create account"
You will be able to add any amount you want.
Follow these steps:-
Go to https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/
Click on the email address used for the account (email address)
Now two option you will get --> Profile and notification (just below that email you clicked)
Choose profile then a popup will come
Now choose funding tab in popups.
Now at the bottom choose edit button and edit the balance and save.
That's it.
Why not duplicate the sandbox account (to have another name), then delete the orginal, then duplicate the new created one with your original name ?
This seems to work with buyer account, seller are usually used with api key
Just create a new account inside your Paypal developer account and simply enter the number how much you want in your account.
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.
