I am integrating the Paypal payment gateway standard in my website. I have made all the setup configuration and the transaction goes through well, but the problem is that I can't verify the email.
1)
Kindly suggest how can I verify the email in sandbox account.
I have confirmed/verified your email address prasadraja07-facilitator#aol.com in the backend.
In Future, it is recommended to create the sandbox accounts from developer.paypal.com where the created sandbox accounts
would be already verified (if you have checked Bank verified account option as Yes)
To confirm your email, check your developer.paypal.com dashboard and look into your email notifications where you see email confirmation link.

I have created an HK business sandbox account and it said we need to confirm the email in order to use PayPal API. But I cannot find the confirmation email in Sandbox Test Accounts > Notifications. I waited for a few days but still no email received. Is there anyone know how to confirm the email?
Add the guide here for your reference on creating sandbox account. The email for this new created account will be confirmed by default. You don't need to do it in sandbox as the email is fake.
On the Developer portal, PayPal automatically created a sandbox account for me with the email address of myname-developer#gmail.com. This account is working fine - I can use its API key, pay to it from my manually created buyers account etc.
I just don't know how to log into this account on sandbox.paypal.com. When I try to use my standard PayPal password it doesn't work.
It should the same password as your LIVE account.
If it does not work, try to change the password in developer.paypal.com->Applications->Sandbox Accounts->Profile->Change Password.
I have a sandbox account on https://developer.paypal.com/ and I want to test ipn.
But where do I enter the IPN for the business account?
I can do a successful test sale but I cannot get the IPN to work.
You can setup IPN in the sandbox seller account the same way you would a live account. Just go to http://sandbox.paypal.com and login with the sandbox seller email and password. Then go into the profile and into IPN settings. Turn it on and point it to the URL you've got configured.
You can also make use of the IPN Simulator which is included in your developer.paypal.com account.
Same question as this: Paypal sandbox account email confirmation but it was not so easily resolved for me.
I can't confirm my sandbox email address, it says an email would be sent to my email address (which it wasn't) and I read elsewhere that it should be found in the "Test Emails" section at developer.paypal.com. I'm looking at this page (updated link) and it's not there either.
Can someone point me to the correct place to find this confirmation email?
The reason I need to confirm my email address is I'm getting this error when trying to make a test payment to the sandboxed merchant account with a sandboxed personal account:
Rapids::Exception (N6Rapids5Tools13PimpExceptionE): Pimp RC: 3514
Apparently verifying the merchant email address fixes this.
On Developer site is section Dashboard then Sandbox notifications - there are emails and sms from sandbox account, and also it catches confirmation emails which should go to your email...
I found it after one day of looking what's happend with email confirmations -.- .
Turns out the answer was not to try manually create a sandbox account on the sandbox website, but to automatically create one at developer.paypal.com > Applications > Sandbox Accounts. This was much quicker and easier to do too!
If you're using Adapative Accounts API to create account (in the first place), put confirmEmail as TRUE in createAccountWebOptions (for registrationType = Web).. this way you wouldn't have headache of email confirmation, for new accounts.
My PayPal IPN scripts runs very well. When I test with my sandbox account it, the payment is made instantly, however when I use my client's business email, I got payment_status as 'Pending', with pending_reason as 'unilateral' in the IPN log call.
My client's email is confirmed at PayPal. So can anyone tell me why I am getting this issue?
pending_reason=unilateral means that the email address of the payment recipient has not been registered with PayPal. For the full list of pending reasons, see the PayPal IPN documentation.
Check the email address for typos, and double-check with your client that they truly have registered their address with PayPal (they may not understand what this entails).
Only accounts made in www.sandbox.paypal.com exists when testing on www.sandbox.paypal.com. So you can't use live accounts for testing, because they don't exist within the sandbox site. You should create the accounts at developer.paypal.com
I had this problem - I was sending PayPal my "live" payer_email, when I changed it to the business email in the sandbox it worked. same as my live email with ****-facilitator#yoursite.com
Double-check if your Paypal primary email address has been confirmed. For me this error happened when my client's email wasn't confirmed yet, of all things!
