Setting up Test Users
Adding a Bank Account
5. Next, enter account information for the business represented by the new PayPal account.
6. Click Continue when done.
7. Enter the user information for the new test user’s PayPal Sandbox account.
Click the Sign Up button when done.
8. Click Continue. This takes you to the My Account > Overview tab.
Confirming an Email Address
To confirm an email address for a test user:
1. Log in to Developer Central.
2. Click the Email tab.
3. On the next page, click the email link to open the email window.
4. In the window that appears, find the email for the new test user with a subject line of
“Activate Your PayPal Account!”
5. Open the email and click the confirmation link.
“Unverified” Account Status
At this point your new test users exist and have confirmed email addresses. However, they
have an “Unverified” status. To set a user to a status of “Verified”, add a bank account for it.
For more information, see “Adding a Bank Account” on page 23.
Adding a Bank Account
The next step in creating new test user and changing the status from “Unverified” to “Verified”
is adding a bank account for the test user. The bank account is a source of funds for the test
user’s PayPal account, and thus for transactions between that test user and other test users. A
test user can have multiple bank accounts, but at least one is required in order to verify the test
user.
The Sandbox automatically generates bank account and sort code numbers when you add a
bank account.
For Australia, Canada, Germany, or UK
Use the automatically generated bank account information only for test US bank accounts. To
add test Canadian, German, or UK bank account information, follow these guidelines.
