I have two sandbox paypal accounts: buyer and business(seller).
Recently i added a generated html from paypal as "Buy Now" button and it seems to work great.
Now i want to add sandbox button to test the process but after logged in to my sandbox account i cannot see any option to create payment button like had in my regular account.
I already read the paypal developer docs for sandbox but i do not see the "Create paypal button" anywhere.
It sounds to me like a simple issue and i cannot figure out why it is not easy to find.
You can access the PayPal button creator/manager from the Profile settings in the sandbox account. I've also included the direct link below:
Create a new button: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-designer
Manage existing saved buttons: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-management
I hope this helps!
After login sandbox.paypal.com, open this link: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-designer directly, you will see the create button page.

I am trying to test paypal buttons on a website using a paypal sandbox merchant account.
According to the docs i should be able to create a Subscription Button but the option seems to be missing in my Account:
Docs:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/subscribe_step_1/
Since i couldnt find anything about this problem, i thought it might have something to do with my sandbox account settings. So i allready did the following:
Made sure the account is valid, has a credit card and banking information
Created a new account with some amount of balance
Tried to get a paypal plus subscription for the sandbox accounts (did not work)
Created the button by go to tools-> recurring subscriptions->Create Subscription Button (additonal options): Got redirected and again the option was missing
Is this a problem with my account ? And if so, what do I have to do to make it work?
Well i finaly found out that this is kind of a paypal problem. As you can see from the screenshot i have a german paypal account. And if you search the documentation you can find this:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECRecurringPayments/
Recurring payments cannot be created for buyers in Germany or China. In this case, you can use reference transactions as an alternate solution.
Im not 100% sure but i think this is the reason why i cant create a subscription button
It seems it was easy at one time to create a sandbox button but now I'm going round and round on the paypal site and keep ending up the same place. All I would like to do is create and test a paypal sandbox button.
I've created my test accounts in the sandbox but that's as far as I've got (can I login to paypal using these accounts as so far it appears not)??
Help would be very welcome.

If you have created a sandbox account, you should be able to login to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com with the sandbox's account email address and password. Once logged in, use this shortcut link to get to the 'My Saved Button' page: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-management. (You can also navigate through the account but it varies on the type of sandbox account you have). From there, you can create PayPal button as usual.
P/S: If somehow you cannot login to sandbox.paypal.com, then you can create a new one in PayPal Developer dashboard. Refer to this link for the steps: https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/744/kw/sandbox
I'm not a programmer, a developer, or a genius. I'm a semi-intelligent person who wants to build a single-serving Web site that provides a simple service for a fixed price.
So I just need to test a single "Submit & Pay" button that I've built using a Machform form. You fill in the form, press the button, and it directs you to Paypal to complete the payment.
Everything is working until I get to the Paypal part. But I don't want to start paying Paypal fees just to check if it's working okay.
There seems to have been a Sandbox option in the past on Paypal, but after creating a basic Sandbox account, it... doesn't work. Links go nowhere, and even the main site (cms.paypal.com) goes to a 404 page. The "Getting Started with Sandbox" link goes to a broken page. The "Sandbox User Guide" attempts to load a PDF on a site I don't know, and don't trust.
The "Sandbox" options on the main site -- when they don't go to the semi-broken, I-guess-abandoned "Sandbox" site -- go to developer.paypal.com, which is way too much gun for me. Even a Google search for "paypal sandbox" now leads exclusively to developer.paypal.com links.
I just need to confirm that my "pay" button will execute correctly in Paypal; I don't need to build a multi-platform API that configures my JavaScripts to execute a parallel-stream optimization option on a scaleable interface across mobile devices with integrated IPNs and a side of fries.
What's the best way to do that?
The sandbox is indeed what you need for testing, and you do need an account at developer.paypal.com in order to use it. It's not a complicated thing, though. You don't have to get all crazy with it if you don't want/need to.
Go to http://developer.paypal.com and login there with your PayPal account. Once logged in click on Applications and then go to Sandbox Accounts.
Use the Create Account button to create at least 1 seller account and 1 buyer account. For the seller account just make it a business account. For the buyer account you can make it personal or business.
Launch your sandbox seller account and login to that. This is your fake PayPal account that you can use just like your own. From within that account you can create buttons just like you do from your live account, and you can place those buttons on pages to test with.
Then when you launch that page in a browser and click on the button it will send you over to sandbox.paypal.com instead of the regular paypal.com, but it will all look very similar to what a buyer would see during payment. You can use the buyer sandbox account you created to complete the purchase exactly as you would with a real account.
After that you can login to the seller or buyer account to see how things would look for each person in the transaction.
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.
i searched the internet for past few days and i am stuck in the situation.. please help me out.
as i am not rep 10 i can't upload image:
please see the link for the screen appears for my cart
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.
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.
