thumb Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just finished installing a new 2.3.4BS and have everything working but trying to get PayPal set up. I see that there is a Sandbox option for testing but when I try to use that I get an error. When setting up the sandbox, do I still use my real PayPal email account and everything or do I have to create a Sandbox account on PayPal?

♥14steve14 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 You need to create a sandbox account within your paypal account. Been a long time since I used mine, I couldnt really tell you how to do it. Sorry. REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 @@thumb I think it is wasted effort to setup a Sandbox account. Once the paypal module is working you will not need it again, unless you are a developer. It's a lot of effort to go through for one or two tests. It is easier, in my opinion, to have a friend or family member use their Paypal account to place an order. Or you can setup a second paypal account and use it to test.

thumb Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks everyone for your input. @@Jack_mcs that's exactly what I ended up doing, just used a couple of different accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
