Enhanced Recurring Payments sandbox business account - paypal

How to turn on Enhanced Recurring Payments for sandbox business account?

How to test Enhanced Recurring Payments Standard on the new Paypal Sandbox? also doesn't help - have an Message 3005 error.

I'm not sure this is the solution but please do check out this link, guess itss related to sandbox errors http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/227988-paypal-ipn-sandbox-error-3005/
And would suggest you to look for better recurring systems than Paypal.

Paypal Recurring Payment Development

I'm currently integrating the paypal recurring payment. I have some questions about integrating paypal system.
Users need to create the paypal account for recurring payment system?
Can we use this "Try the buttons" integration for paypal recurring payment?
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/
If users signup with the credit card without creating paypal account, can we get the credit card brand. last 4 digits, and expiration date?
Can we use php api to create recurring system with paypal account or credit cards?
Can we use api to apply subscriptions coupons?
Thank you.
Yes
Haven't seen that before, but you can simulate everything in a sandbox if that's what you are looking for.
If I recall correctly you don't get the last 4 digits, but you do get the expiration date.
Yes
Not sure, didn't have to implement that.

PayPal Sandbox Recurring Payments

I am trying to setup recurring payments in our SandBox.
I have followed the instructions here:
How to enable recurring payments for sandbox account?
I have a working Python Django code, have setup billing plans and foward the user to a billing agreement with an Activated plan but it errors on the PayPal page, that this is currently not possible.
So I checked the above link and understand I need to enable recurring payments in my facilitator sandbox account.
Once I go to the Recurring payments dashboard-> Sign up for Enhanced Recurring Payments
I only end up with a message saying: Sorry, this feature is not available at this time.
How am I supposed to test this now ? This Sandbox account is an Account type: Business and verified.

How can I test paypal micropayments in the paypal sandbox?

Is there a way to test paypal micropayments in the sandbox? I can see where to upgrade the test account to paypal payments pro. But i don't see one for micropayments. I am trying to verify smaller transactions.
While it does not make much sense to see the pricing of sandbox transactions change, you can contact MTS under paypal.com/mts
give them the e-mail address of the sandbox merchant account you want to enable Micro Payments for and they should be able to activate it for that account.

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.

Set up recurring billing for payments pro in sandbox

I'm trying to use recurring billing for website payments pro using the CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile API call.
I'm testing my code in the sandbox, but I get the error "DPRP is disabled for this merchant". I can't seem to find where in the account to enable recurring payments.
Any ideas?
Thanks :)
This is because of the different types of accounts. Recurring Payments (NOT recurring billing. these are 2 different products) was offered with older PayPal accounts. With the new accounts, you should be using the Payflow gateway to perform Recurring Billing transactions.
To do this, first you need to make a Payflow test account. This can be done by doing Part 1, 2 and 3 from this article:
https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/929
After you have a test Payflow account, you can follow this recurring billing guide here to set up recurring billing:
