PayPal sandbox takes me to live site when trying to change Payment Solution to Website Payments Standard - paypal

When I am trying to change the payment solution from from 'PayPal Digital Goods (PayPal Express Checkout)' to 'Website payments Standard' in the sandbox, I get redirected to the live paypal site.
I have seen a similar question asked here which was resolved by adding the payment solution to the account by a paypal developer team member.
Any idea on how I can add the desired payment solution added?
Thanks in advance

Unable to Make Payment via Paypal

I have Paypal India Business account. I am using Express Checkout on my magento store and many customers are unable to make payment.
When they redirect to Paypal's billing page and pay via Paypal account they get
We can't complete your purchase at this time. Please return to merchant.
There are clients from US, UK and Australia. I talked to Paypal support and they said that there is no problem with my Paypal's account.
Please help me as I can't tell my customers to try out different things to make payments.
This will require a quick peek in the PayPal configuration and also the PayPal account , what is the website URL and PayPal account email address?
please also share the PayPal URL when the merchant is redirected to PayPal

DPRP is disabled. for this merchant in sandbox paypal

I'm trying to integrate paypal payments through card into rails app.
Normal one-time payments are working well. But I keep on getting the above response when I'm trying to make recurring payments. I've tried to enable that feature in paypal developer website but it says
Note: Live credentials are disabled for direct credit card processing in your app. We are processing your information and will email you when live API credentials are enabled.
But it is saying same from past few days. I've tried contacting them through online contact us but after three days they replied saying I have to add my credit card to the account. Do I need to add credit card for testing sandbox also?
You need to contact PayPal technical team at https://www.paypal-techsupport.com/app/ask , provide your sandbox PayPal account, they will enable DPRP for you.

dprp paypal confusion - displaying live

I have read through the forums on here and see that the 'DPRP is disabled' message is due to not paying the additional fee for recurring payments.
I did not set the account up so Im not sure exactly what was paid for, I do know that we are using website payments pro.
My confusion comes from the top of the page where is says Recurring Payments are live, is this separate from the direct payment recurring? Does this mean that the account does have dprp or is this displaying live just a generic thing that all accounts have?
We currently do take recurring payments from a hosted paypal page so im wondering whether that is why it is set to live?
We plan to have our own page to take payments rather than a hosted page so any advice would be great.
Thanks in advance

The error of you don not have DPRP enabled, is just that. It means that you do not have recurring payments enabled on the account. You may just have DP (Direct Payments) enabled on your account and not DPRP (Direct Payment Recurring Payments), meaning you would only be able to process single payment transactions not recurring payments. If you can provide the email adddress to test account I can take a look at it and see what you have enabled on it and can enable it if its not enabled.

Paypal integration to accept credit card payment directly

I have a question regarding PayPal integration with my website. I have a Premier account with PayPal. I tried integrating it with my website by adding a 'Buy Now' button. When I click on it it asks the end user to create a PayPal account. However, I want the users to be able to make a payment directly with their credit/debit card without creating a PayPal account.
I am not a technical guy, so I might have missed out on something. I want to know if it is possible to integrate paypal without me having to code something technically. Kindly advise.
According to PayPal, buyers do not need a PayPal account to pay you:
They can pay with their credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, American
Express, and Discover) — all without having a PayPal account.
Sources: Do my buyers need a PayPal account to pay me? and Buttons for single purchases
To create the button, simply visit PayPal's button creator wizard and supply the required information. Once submitted, PayPal will autogenerate the HTML for you. See: Create PayPal payment button
This happened because the account was a PayPal account in UAE, and this feature is not enabled there yet.

Accept recurring payments with PayPal PayFlow Link

I am looking to set up a recurring payment option for my website. I was thinking of going with PayFlow since it does not require expensive SSL. But I am not sure how to set up a recurrence payment where if the user decides to change the account type, we can automatically set up recurring payment for them to get charged next month. Not sure if this is possible?
A few problems, they charge almost $60/month and they require to have a Merchant Account (any suggestions)?
Can some one help with what type of service should I use? I am looking to not have credit card acceptance on my webpage because SSL is really expensive.
The webpage is in php.
PayPal Express Checkout does this, and more. While Payflow Link is generally a good and robust solution, Express Checkout has a bit more to offers in terms of features. It also redirects your buyers to a PayPal landing page for entering their card details.
I assume you can simply delete / disable a recurring payments profile and set up a new one whenever someone switches plans, right? In that case you'll want to look at the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API.
Have a look at https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECRecurringPayments and https://www.x.com/docs/DOC-1168
Do keep in mind however, that recurring payments on Express Checkout only works with existing PayPal accounts. Someone who doesn't have a PayPal account yet, will have to create one during checkout.
Paypal is usually a great solution. There is no problem with billing recurring payments (subscriptions).
