Sandbox Testing
Accessing the PayPal Sandbox
9
3. If you do not already have an account, click Sign Up Now and provide the requested
information shown below:
IMPORTANT: Do not use the same login email address or password that you use for logging
into the live paypal.com site, because later you may allow someone to
work in the Sandbox on your behalf but not want to allow access to your
regular PayPal account.
You can specify the same password (not email address) for all your test accounts, so you
can more easily remember it.
After you sign up, PayPal sends login instructions to the email address you used to sign-up.
If you have mail filtering enabled in your mail software, the email sent by PayPal might be
filtered out or stored in a folder where you do expect it to be located. For instance, with
Microsoft Outlook mail software, your filtering might cause the email to be stored in
“Junk” or “Spam.”
4. Respond to the confirmation e-mail and log in.
