Here's how to enable PayPal Payments Pro on a Sandbox test account:
- Log in to your PayPal Developer account.
- At the top of the page, click Dashboard.
- Click Accounts under Sandbox on the left side of the page.
- Click the email address for the account for which you would like to enable Payments Pro.
Note: Only Business accounts can have Payments Pro enabled. - Click Profile under the email address.
- Click Upgrade to Pro.
- Click Enable.
Once your sandbox business account is upgraded to PRO, you should be able to integrate and perform DoDirectPayment API calls.
