Thanks for the video. Leave it to paypal to make you set up multiple "accounts" to do a single thing. 2nd video of yours i have watched. You have gained a sub from me.

[@ShafenBadar]

[@jellycrackersmerch8221]

do you have a video that shows the beginning steps on how to start the process before the sandbox steps. Integrating codiing, etc. Thank you

[@Jake-vd8os]

After messing around with this testing payment following your video I forgot to turn off the sandbox mode. 🤦‍♂️ 😂 That little toggle comes on whenever you go on the developer dashboard. All sorted now thanks for the video.

[@simongondeck]

Glad I could help

[@WahjoeGunawan]

great video... thankss i would like to use one paypal account for several different web to process the payment. Is that correct I just need to mke different prefix for each web ? thank you

[@artemisg5206]

Hey there! Thanks for your video! I actually have a question, it would be great if I could get some help for that. When I select " To test your WooCommerce installation, you can use the sandbox mode. " box and I try to place a test order, I get a " couldn't retrieve order" error in the checkout. I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong there so any help would be highly appreciated, thanks

[@staycalm00]

I have did the test on sandbox and now once it tried with actual money. The payment is going to the sandbox account how to make it to go to the correct paypal account.

[@in5d]

I'm not seeing "enable payment gateway"

[@JCCreatorStudio]

Excellent tutorial. But when I clicked on PayPal on the checkout page, it brings me paypal popup and I get "Agree & Pay Now" and when clicked, the my website straight away shows Order received, instead of Checkout confirmation and Place Order. What could be missing here?

[@elizabethdina3842]

How much is the payment credit card fees? Is it the same as stripe fees?

[@dallashriffle]

I have a question about the accounts that sandbox gives you by default. Do you have to go through a transaction with both accounts? or only the personal account? I'm doing it with the personal account and it's working, but not with the business account

[@simongondeck]

You only have to go through a test transaction using the personal account. It will not work to do a test transaction with your business sandbox account since that is the sandbox account that is used in your WooCommerce settings.

[@speedytv4193]

Sandbox paypal i have money ,but this money not real ?

[@derrickwong215]

It’s this only for test mode? Can customer really pay for it ?

[@simongondeck]

Yes. Customers can pay on sandbox mode. If you are referring to how to have customers use live/real payments check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4WbaKycpZiAgqs

[@ben001hi]

my test didn't work!

[@bhuvic8178]

can i use this plugin in localhost?

[@simongondeck]

I believe so. The best way would be to downloading the free plugin and trying it out using Local, DevKinsta, or another localhost: sgwp.dev/paypal

[@webcode26]

wao :P

[@simongondeck]

thanks for watching!

[@mudassirahmad3391]

When I put the paypal sandbox api keys it shows the authentication error of api keys. What could be the reason.

[@simongondeck]

Did you double check if you pasted everything correctly? For example, the sandbox email address, sandbox merchant id, sandbox client id, and sandbox secret key. If still having trouble scroll up and click 'disconnect'. Then, re-enter the keys in sandbox mode and check if that works.

[@mudassirahmad3391]

Ok thanks I will recheck

[@mudassirahmad3391]

Authentication with PayPal failed: Could not create token. Please verify your API Credentials and try again to connect your PayPal business account. Visit the plugin documentation for more information about the setup. This is the exact error I got. Please help me

[@womenentrepreneursnetworkn9659]
