Sandbox with payments pro account.

I am trying to get recurring payments working using Express Checkout NVP API.

 

It seems to be mostly working if I force my users to login through paypal.

 

I would like to be able to use credit cards as well.

 

In the developer section I have created a test account, that is now set to Business Pro, but when I login to the sandbox it just says Business, and I believe this is removing the options for credit cards.

 

How can I set my sandbox account to be a Pro account, so I can process credit cards for reoccurring payments?

Hello,

If your sandbox account is showing as being a "business-pro" account, you need recurring payments manually added.

Review the pinned thread at the top of this forum on "issue reporting" and share the merchant id for your sandbox account and I can add recurring payments to the account for you.

Just to clarify....

 

When I am in the developer.paypal domain, it says I have a pro account.

When I am in the sandbox.paypal domain it says it isn't a pro account.

 

On my development site I can do reoccurring payments already, but only if my user buyer user has a paypal account, and I want it available to non-paypal users as well, and from my understanding I need a pro account for this.

 

Thanks for the help.

Any update on this? I have recurring payments working fine now, but I still need my sandbox account set to pro so that I can get through without logging in with a paypal account.
