how can i test my real paypal account?

[mok23]

i want to test my real paypal  seller account i know there is something called sandbox but as i understand it's for virtual accounts which will never give me any errors or any real info about my real account

i just want to test it to see how it will work and which kind of errors will i face without sending real funds and without waiting for these errors to happen when my customers pay

Hello,

If you want to test transactions and transactional functionality, you can use our sandbox testing environment.

You cannot use a live account to conduct tests which do not send real money.

There is a testing guide available for our sandbox environment here - https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
