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.
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 having troubles trying to get IPN work inside my sandbox.
I have a developer paypal account and i imported 2 sandbox account. Now i suppose to have 2 ways to test IPN:
IPN Simulator
Setting my IPN address in sandbox options
but i have problems in both of them.
If try to use the IPN simulator everytime i try to send an IPN page starts loading for some minutes and then Chrome gives me a "empty page response" response. After some googling it appers IPN simulator have some problem with non standard ports but my page can run only on port 12000. My page is reachable, i checked from inside and outside my network, it works for all except the ipn simulator.
I have no more luck trying to set IPN address on sandbox, simply because i have no settings at all to access. I logged to sandbox and got a page where i'm supposed to login with my sandbox account, but i get a different login from mine on the upper right corner of the page (thats the original sandbox account, now that sandbox and main account are merged all this mess happen) and when i try to login with sandbox account i get a generic
This sandbox mail is not available. Try another mail address
If i try to create a new sandbox account i always get this error:
We're sorry but something went wrong.Please delete this account and
try again.
So.. i'm basically stuck. What i can do to test my ipn now?
edit for be more clear:
i used to have a sandbox and a main paypal account, now they are merged
i login to both sandbox and developer section with my main account now
even if logging in sandbox with my main account i get logged as my old sandbox account
after this first sandbox login if i try to log my sandbox account (listed in developer.paypal.com) i get that "Sandbox mail not available" error
in developer.paypal.com i can't create any new sandbox account, getting error everytime. I found that you got that error if password is not 8-20 chars long and now i'm using a correct lenght password but i'm still getting that error
edit2: i successfully created a new sandbox account!
to get that i had to:
use an US account (i was using italian)
use password with: uppercase, lowercase, special characters, numbers
initial balance import < 1000 usd
but i still can't login this account inside the sandbox, always same error. I'm hating this.
Non-standard ports really are not supported at this time, so you'll run into a myriad of different issues over time. The initial IPN delivery may work, but the re-sending of a single message may not, etcetera.
Can you use something like http://progrium.com/localtunnel/ perhaps?
With regards to the account creation:
For discussion's sake, let's stick to the right terminology; you use a developer account to log into https://developer.paypal.com/, and a Sandbox account to log into https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/
Is the account you're trying to log into via www.sandbox.paypal.com a Sandbox account listed under Applications > Sandbox accounts?
I am using ubercart module in Drupal, and I need help to configure return URL from PayPal sandbox. I tried creating business account in https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/dashboard , but that also is not working.
When you say you're unable to create a Business account what error are you receiving or are you unable to login? Please provide more details on this and feel free to contact me via the details in my profile.
Here are the steps to enable Auto Return in your test account.
Log into https://developer.paypal.com
Click Applications
Click Sandbox accounts
Expand the account in question
Click Sandbox site
Login to the test account
Copy and paste "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-website-payments" into your browser
Enable Auto Return and click Save
Enter the Auto Return URL and click Save
Let me know if these steps give you any issues.
I was also facing similar issue. How I set the auto redirect URL in the sandbox mode is as following.
Login to the sandbox.paypal.com using the sandbox business account example,
xyz-facilitator#example.com
there set Auto redirect to On, and Turn off PayPal Account Optional setting.
In the PayPal button (Form) code use following for the business information.
