Managing Test Accounts
You can view, work with, or launch the Sandbox Test Site for all your test accounts. You also
can create new accounts or remove test email addresses from your view.
z To work with test accounts, log in to https://developer.paypal.com, and click the Test
Accounts tab.
z To create a new account, click the Create Account link.
z To work with the account, select it by clicking the radio button associated with it on the
left.
To simulate the live paypal.com site for the selected account, click Enter Sandbox Test
Site. When you logged in to https://developer.paypal.com
, if you set the Log me in
automatically checkbox to allow direct access to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/
, you do
not have to launch the Sandbox to access it.
N OTE: The Delete button does not delete the test account. It removes the test account from
your list of accounts, but the email address for the test account is still on file for the
Sandbox. You cannot re-use an email address that is still on file for the Sandbox.
