Setting up PayPal Here - can I make test payments?

[23deano]

Hello all

I have my new Here card reader and I'm looking at setting it up. When I get logged in etc, can I make test payments from my own card (bank account) into my own PayPal account? Will I get charged the PayPal fee if this is possible?

Hi 23deano and welcome, 

I hope you are liking your new PayPal Here card reader. You can do test payments however these would show just like normal payments. This would mean that you would get charged the normal fees for receiving payments.  If you need any help with your card reader or have any questions please feel to post on our "PayPal Here" section. 

Thanks for posting,

Thanks, Paula.

I tested it out by charging myself £1. I saw how the app worked then, so I was happy. I then processed a refund using the app and all went smoothly.
