Valid credit card accepted to PayPal Sandbox account - will the charge go through?

If someone uses a real/valid credit card on my website direct credit card check out but the API links to the PayPal Sandbox account - will the credit card be charged?

 

The transaction appears in the Sandbox test account with a Transaction ID. That transaction ID does not return any search in the real live PayPal environment/dashboard nor in live activity reports. This transaction appears only in the Sandbox environment.

 

I just need to know if the credit card will be charged 'in real life' or have any hold or authorization on it?

 

Thank you!
