I get an invalid business error when I try to connect to sandbox paypal with my django program.
Something doesn’t look right. Your payment to this merchant can’t be completed using PayPal. Choose another way to pay.
I have test set to true and I setup a sandbox account
PAYPAL_RECIEVER_EMAIL = '************@gmail.com'
PAYPAL_TEST = True
I'm using path('', include('paypal.standard.ipn.urls')), in my urls.py

Hi @reswobbjj ,
This error usually happens when the email ID is not confirmed. Since you are talking about the sandbox account, you can raise a ticket with MTS (https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US)- they can help you with this.
