I haven't used PayPal sandbox for a while and my latest visit, as always never runs smoothly. Apart from the new interface my account seems OK. and my sandbox accounts are there, one seller account and one buyer account. I proceed to enter the Sandbox Test site and all it does is loop me back to the live site.
Does anyone know whats going on here! and how do I now access the test site?

After I finished configuring the Paypal checkout plugin, I continue to proceed checking out, first time I can check out with my account even though the url that Odoo or Paypal lead to was sandbox.paypal.com, but with the second time I check out it don't work anymore though I can still login my account at Paypal.com, it said "Wrong username, password" times after times after I tried to login with my account at the sandbox.paypal.com url. Someone please help me, thanks in advance!
Edit: I found this but I dont know how to get it to work with Odoo Paypal button.
Testing on the Live System
It is a good idea to test on the live system to make sure the switch to the live system doesn't introduce any problems. Some things to consider when testing on live:
You will need access to a Personal account with a credit card linked and a verified Business account.
Switch from the sandbox URL https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr to the live site URL https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr.
Pre-fund the Personal account to avoid incurring charges on the credit card.
Test transactions can be as little as $0.01 USD.
Payments may be refunded resulting in a full fee credit.
It is good practice to log all IPNs received in a log file or database.
If the redirect URL is sandbox.paypal.com, you need to login it by your sandbox account, not live account.
Refer to https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/paypal-here/sandbox-testing/managing-sandbox-accounts/ to create a sandbox account or modify existing sandbox account's password.
I have an asp.net website that is supposed to allow users to make payments with Paypal. I want to test it with the Paypal sandbox.
So I created a developer/business account at "developer.paypal.com'.
Using this account I created a lot of fake email accounts, some personal, some business, for testing. But now, I want to tell the website to enable IPN, and also, to send IPN notifications to a particular URL. I don't see a place on the site to do that. (I assume this would be in the sandbox site, not in the real site).
Any help is appreciated.
Try enabling it on the account level (log into the sandbox account and set it there). There is an IPN simulator as well.
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.
I am using the standard paypal payment method with my opencart website. When I go through the checkout process and get redirected to the PayPal website, I get to login and choose my payment source on the paypal site. However, when it starts processing, it just returns "Your session has timed out, please log in again." and logs me out of Paypal.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had facing this problem also. If you are using sandbox mode, You should be gave test account for buyer(buyer account must be business account) and also seller account must be individual account(personal). for example xxx#gmail.com is buyer account you should put it in admin panel paypal extension,then you should login in E-store website with seller account(yyy#gmail.com) and proceed to paypal it will works well.
Some times the cookies that Paypal sets are really annoying, try cleaning all of them, it helped me with other Paypal related errors.
I have paypal sandbox account. Everything works fine for single payments - I set business=test#gmail.com and make a payment using ..._biz#gmail.com account which was created under "Test Accounts" menu of the sandbox. However when I try to do the same for recurring payments, I get an error. At first everything looks fine - I get redirected to paypal where I can see the detail of subscription but when I try to sign in with ..._biz#gmail.com, it redirects me to a page that says: The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again.
Thanks ahead!
Well, I am not fully sure what exactly was wrong but in case someone else has the same problem and stumbles on this question: all I had to do is re-create both seller and buyer test accounts from under my main sandbox account. The accounts that I tested on seemed valid but they were created many months (if not years) ago so probably paypal had some wrong (i.e. old) configs associated with them. The newly created accounts work just fine.
