Transactions do not appear in sandbox merchant account

I have set up my sandbox accounts and am using the REST API with CURL libraries in a C program.

I create an Order with intent: CAPTURE and user_action:PAY_NOW.

This succeeds and I receive an order ID.

I then paste the Approve URL into a browser, login as my sandbox user and pay. My browser displays the results from PayPal accepting the payment.

Back to the C program, I then call https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v2/checkout/orders//capture, which succeeds.

If I now login to my sandbox user account, there is a payment transaction for each time I have done this successfully.

However, if I login to my sandbox merchant account, there is no activity at all.

I assume since I used the Developer account to create both the merchant and user sandbox accounts that the merchant ID is somehow related to the Client Id and Password I created in the Developer account used to get the access token ? Or do I need to specify the Merchant ID somewhere in the order creation ?

Is there something else I need to do to finish processing the payment ?

 

Thanks !
