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.

I am testing my payment integration using PayPal Sandbox
When I go to make payment using a sandbox account, the following message displays on the payment page
To use your balance next time, go to your PayPal account for an
identity check.
If I log into the sandbox account, I am not seeing any way to do this.
How do I set up the sandbox account so that it can use PayPal funds for the payment rather than the credit card option?
It doesn't matter how you are funding the payment in sandbox. There's no actual reason for you to be bothering to care about this issue, since the result of a completed PayPal payment on the receiver end will be identical.
But since you ask, you can create a bank verified account via https://www.paypal.com/signin?intent=developer&returnUri=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.paypal.com%2Fdeveloper%2Faccounts%2F
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.

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 setup two sandbox accounts with PayPal.
owner#example.com as the main business account
buyer#example.com as the payee/client account
I have tested my IPN script through the sandbox IPN simulator, and it works.
Now I am trying to test a subscription button where buyer#example.com signs up for a 1 week free trial subscription to owner#example.com
I have turned on IPN notifications in the owner#example.com sandbox account and have created and saved a custom button with the notify_url=http://example.com/ipn.php value set in section 3 of the custom button creator.
And after creating a subscription with buyer#example.com and a payment to owner#example.com ... the data is being shown in the sandbox account when I log in, but no IPN notifications are being sent to my http://example.com/ipn.php as I had specified. And there is no ipn history being shown on the sandbox paypal account history, either.
Has anybody encountered a similar experience? I am not receiving anything from PayPal after sending the test payments via sandbox.
What gives?
With subscriptions you're going to need to configure IPN in the PayPal account profile. It won't use the notify_url value for all of the payments on a profile. It will only use the URL (if any) configured in the profile.
Just curious, working with PayPal Sandbox works fine but I never receive any emails, neither as a sandbox seller nor as a buyer. I can just see them as "Notification" under PayPal Developer website > Applications > Sandbox accounts > click Notifications.
Should or should not I be receiving real emails as well?
The sandbox environment doesn't send emails. You can just check the notifications inside your developer account only.
Sandbox doesnot send to any email form the user,If you wanna give the detail that how much money less so you can login seller account and check that how much money less in your account same as for buyer. and also sendbox send notification in buyer and seller account.
i have made an account on https://developer.paypal.com/ and after that create a personal account and a business account now i want to test these account to make a transaction on sandbox but on sandbox there is a problem that i can't get access to login as personal account and as business account https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/ i used the email address and password of my personal account and business account . how i can do test on paypal sandbox ?
I am also passing through these phases, anyway after just logged in at https://developer.paypal.com/ with your paypal acount that you created at https://www.paypal.com/, you will found an an application menu there, and on the left side you will found sandbox_accounts, paypal will automatically create your merchant account, this merchant account will be used as a seller in paypal api, and you personal account will be used for transaction like payment.
