I am building a demo website for my client. I want to use 'hosted checkout pages' with 'PayPal Advanced'. I have very basic questions:
What type of PayPal account should I (not my client) create for the demo?
Should I create a sandbox account ONLY or do I need a real PayPal account?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank you
For testing with the Payflow Gateway (Payments Advanced or Payments Pro) you only need a manager.paypal.com account in test mode.
You need to create an account on https://manager.paypal.com/
Follow the guide at https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/929
Check out https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/embedded_checkout_design_guide.pdf for information on developing for PayPal Advanced.

In order to integrate PayPal with my ASP.NET website using C#, I was told that "Sign up for a PayPal developer account and obtain API credentials. I will need to create a Sandbox account to test my application."
At present, I hope to use Live Mode of Paypal instead of Sandbox Mode, must I upgrade Paypal account to business account ?
To process live payments, you need a live business account. There is no reason not to upgrade, having one is free.
Paypal allows to test payments using sandbox accounts. However, where I live on live, it says to upgrade it to business account. Is it possible to go live and get client ID and secret key?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Typically you cannot create REST credentials for a personal account.
You should in fact upgrade it to a business account. There is no reason not to.
Can you use a sandbox test account with a PayPal Payments Standard account or do you need to have a PayPal Payments Pro account?
Yes, you can and no you don't need a business account.
Steps
Log into https://developer.paypal.com/
Click Create Account
Choose Personal
Finish process
See PayPals developer documentation for more information.
I am new to Paypal integration to websites. I just created a sand box test account to try and create buttons.
I am trying to make use of Paypal subscription to my website.
Can anyone give some basic information of how can I test and increase my knowledge on Paypal integration to my website.
Thanks
Well, you are going in the right direction. You would want to sign up for a developer account at developer.paypal.com. Once you have your developer account set up, then you would want to log in and create a test sandbox buyer and sandbox account. You can use these accounts to create test subscription buttons and walk through and sign up for the subscription with your buyer account. This will allow you to test with subscriptions in the sandbox.
I need to create payflow link module for website and I need test account.
I do not want to buy Payflow link, but I want to create something like Sandbox offers.
Is there any solutions to get it?
Not just paypal sandbox account, but Payflow link, with Partner, Merchant login and other details
Paypal is retiring Payflow link in favor of Website Payments Standard and Pro. I had to sign up for a Website Payments account and then send a support ticket to change it back to Payflow. In my support ticket I explained that I already had an app using Payflow and needed to be able to test it still. They will give you a spiel about how everyone will have to upgrade soon, but if you insist that you have to test with the current technology (Payflow) then you'll get your account changed.
