How to Use PayPal Sandbox

Using PayPal Sandbox
1. Visit the PayPal Developer website and sign up for a free PayPal Sandbox account by clicking on the 'Sign Up' link. Follow the directions and click on 'Agree and Submit.'
2.
After signing in, choose the type of account you want to create for testing. You have the option to choose 'Buyer Accounts' and 'Seller Accounts.'
3.
Create an account based on the information you want to use. For example, once you click the 'Buyer/seller creation' link, you can choose the country that buyer or seller resides in, the name of the buyer or seller, and if they are using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or a bank account.
4. Create PayPal buttons on websites as you normally would, then use your 'Sandbox Buyer Email,' which you chose when setting up a 'Seller' account. Use your 'Buyer Email' address to log into the fake buyer account to place a fake order. If everything comes through as an order on your Sandbox account, then you have successfully completed the order process.
