PayPal Sandbox Account Testing

In this tutorial, we take a look at how you can obtain your PayPal sandbox account details and utilize them to test the function of WP Express Checkout Plugin or any plugin that allows for PayPal testing. Using a PayPal Sandbox account allows merchants to see the full flow of events for a customer transaction without the need to use 'real' money.

I have never heard of it sandbox PayPal before this

[@raymondr.hausoul7501]

Hello, Korin. Thank you for your clear instructions. I see in your video that the buyer has the opportunity to download the file immediately after purchase. On my website I do not get that option. Is that a setting in WooCommerce?

[@electricmechanic2778]

Thank you so much

Hello.Great video.Can I still receive real payments from the purchasers when I enable Paypal payment method with sandbox API credentials?I know that sandbox mode is testing transactions but I do not know can I as a seller who set up Paypal sandbox still receive real payments from purchasers in that case too.Thank you.

Thanks for the tip but why are my orders in woocommerce stated as "On Hold". I don't have any review payment or anything set up?

[@philipadams5386]

Well, yes. But you completely omit what to do with the sandbox business account. I'm reliably informed that you have to use both a personal account AND business account. So what do you do with the business account? Is the business account supposed to represent me, the trader? Or what?

[@martinlindsey4526]

Does this process also work with the WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart plugin?

Hello, Does someone know how to view test transactions on Sandbox Account?

[@gabrielanderson6652]

If it fails to accept this "payment" how do I troubleshoot it?

[@darishor9702]

How do i create the sandbox PayPal account to make payment?

[@FleurdelizLicuanan]

if sandbox payment is not real, then what payment method to use in live producction?

[@KorinIverson]

Sandbox payments are not real but it gives a good way to test a few things while someone is setting things up. When you are ready to go live, you can create a test product for $1 and do a live/normal transaction using your own credit card or you can request a family member to do a transaction using their PayPal account. This can give you 100% confidence that everything is working.

I was sent a large sum of money on sandbox PayPal with a few of $213.00 should I pay it?? And how the person contacted me and told me to pay it in bitcoin is this right?

[@cindycatello6149]

Ok so I have someone send me a payment on sandbox.PayPal is it a real payment and should I pay the 213.00 fee?

[@KorinIverson]

Hi, Sandbox payments are not real payments. Anything that happens in the sandbox.paypal.com domain is purely for testing purpose.
