Hey there, just to add, you can test out our services on a Sandbox account. PayPal Sandbox accounts let you test our products and services before you implement them on your website. You can see how everything works without having to exchange real money. You can also create test buyer accounts, see emails, and validate API credentials.
Here’s how to create a PayPal Sandbox account:
- Go to https://developer.paypal.com
- Click ‘Sign Up Now’.
- Enter the required information, accept the Terms of Use and click ‘Sign Up.’
- Check your email.
- Open the email from us and click the confirmation link.
