Hi everyone!
I'm setting up a third party integration with PayPal and I need to get both reference transactions and the option to fetch the customer's billing address enabled in a *sandbox* account.
Based on the documentation and the information available online, the only way to get these two enabled is to ask PayPal support. AFAIK there isn't any account option or configuration to enable them (just sandbox, no real live transactions).
However I've contacted PayPal support through the "Message" option in the support site but they don't seem to understand what I'm asking for.
Any tips on how to get these two features enabled? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the merchant id / payer id for your sandbox account.
I've enabled the return of the billing address and reference transactions on the account.
Thanks !

The merchant id you've provided belongs to a production environment account.
I can only enable reference transactions on sandbox accounts. Please login to a sandbox business account for which you want to have reference transactions enabled and send me the merchant id from that account.
Thanks !

For our sandbox environment, I can make any changes you may need, I just need the merchant id from a sandbox business account. There is a post pinned to the top of this forum which contains information on how to retrieve your merchant id.
For our production environment, I can't make any changes to accounts. You would need to reach out to our customer service team for any requests relating to a production environment account. If you have not heard back and it's been over a week, reach out to them again.
Thanks !
