I am trying to create a PDT token in my sandbox account. I have followed the instructions, though most refer to an earlier version of the Website Payment Preferences page and mention clicking a save button. I don't have that version:
The documentation I have found says enable auto return, provide a return url, turn on PDT, click save, go back to the profile and then go back to Website payment preferences and the token will be displayed below the Payment data transfer section.
So, there is no save button (everything seems to work on AJAX), and no matter how many times I've tried to go in and out of this screen, the PDT toke is NOT being shown
Where do I find it?

EDIT: I turned auto return off and purged all my paypal cookies. Once i logged back in and activated auto return the PDT token was visible once more. But only once.
Going back to the page after leaving it will result in the same issue.
Greetings
I have the same issue, i understand i needed to post my Merchant ID?
This my merchant id: YRHZGNP3EVWAE
I'd like to add i just did this, and the token did appear the very first time i activated the PDT (the tutorial i was following made me leave the page)
I returned to the page and as i said, i have the same issue now.
Thanks for the help once i get it

The merchant ID provided is not for a sandbox account, it's for a production account.
Please login to the sandbox account for which you want the PDT token and follow the steps to locate the merchant ID. Share the sandbox account merchant ID and I'll provide you with the PDT token.
Thanks !

Hello,
No worries - thanks for the help. I was able to finally get the token to appear via Christina's instructions:
"Troubleshooting tip: If the PDT token still doesn't display - turn off both Auto Return and PDT Token, then enable Auto Return first and save the PDT token second..."
