New web site via wix. Have paypal buttons set up, - how do I turn off Sandbox!!!!!!

[homeexpert]

Hey, used the paypal buttons with go daddy forever.  Switched to a wix web site and not paypal is in this sandbox mode.  I did not set up, create, NOTHING.  I need the sandbox "mode" off and need it to be a live environment!! Can anyone help.  Site is aplushomeexperts - look at payment screen.

Hi @homeexpert, 

First piece of feedback on the payment screen is going to be around the price box, is it your intention to allow someone to chose a negative number? 

Second, with regards to the button. I cannot even click the button to get into the payment flow to validate if the setup is in sandbox mode. How did you determine you're in sandbox mode still?

Good day @homeexpert,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community Forum.

By default, PayPal system will generate Smart button code in Sandbox environment and merchant can test the integration using sandbox accounts.

Merchants need to create LIVE REST API credentials and pass/enter the LIVE API credentials in the Smart button code in order to receive payments in LIVE production. 

I request to please follow the below steps to create LIVE REST API credentials via your PayPal account. 

Login to https://developer.paypal.com/  >> My apps & credentials >> toggle "LIVE" >> create "App" >> fill required details >> you can able to access your LIVE REST API Credentials(Client ID & Secret).

Guide link for REST API Credentials - https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/#get-credentials

Once you create LIVE REST API credentials (Client ID & Secret), please enter/pass the Client ID in your button code as below. 

Present button code implemented on your website, pointing to sandbox :

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=sb&currency=***" data-sdk-integration-source="button-factory"></script>

Pass the LIVE "Client_ID" as below to process payments in LIVE :

<script src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=Enter_the_Client_ID_value_here&currency=***" data-sdk-integration-source="button-factory"></script>

I request to please use the updated button code on your website and process a test payments via card which is not linked to your PayPal account. Since, merchant can't process self payments. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi
