Transferring Funds to a Test Account
Before a test user can exchange funds with other test users in transactions, you must manually
transfer funds to the test user’s account.
To transfer funds to a test user’s PayPal account:
1. After logging into Developer Central, launch the Sandbox as the test user.
2. Navigate to My Account > Add Funds.
3. Click the Transfer funds from a Bank Account link.
4. On the Add Funds by Electronic Funds Transfer page:
– Select the bank account from which the funds are coming in the From drop-down list.
– Enter the amount to transfer in the Amount box.
– Click Continue.
5. On the resulting Add Funds Confirmation page, click Submit.
6. Navigate to My Account > Overview to see that the transfer transaction is listed.
Clearing or Failing Test eCheck Transactions
When you use eCheck to transfer funds or send payments, the transaction appears as pending
until you manually clear or fail it. Manual clearing is only necessary in the Sandbox.
To clear or fail test eCheck transactions:
1. In the transactions log, click the Details link (in the Details column).
2. In the Transaction Detail window, there are two links to simulate actual bank clearing.
These links appear only in the Sandbox:
– Clear Transaction: Click to complete the transaction.
– Fail Transaction: Click to cancel the transaction.
3. Click Return to Log to see the transfer completed and the money in the Sandbox account.
The My Account > Overview page opens.
4. Click the View Limits links on the My Account > Overview page to see the spending
limits for the current test user.
