Testing in the PayPal Sandbox
The PayPal Sandbox can be used to test the following functionality.
IMPORTANT:The Sandbox does not process real money.
z Buy Now and Donations: Test single-item payments. For more information, see
Chapter 3, “Single-Item Payment: Buy Now and Donations.”
z Shopping Carts: Test the purchase of multiple items in a single transaction and making a
single payment. For more information, see Chapter 4, “Multiple-Item Payment: Shopping
Cart.”
z Subscriptions: Create and publish test/prototype webpages and other content to which
only paying members will have access. For more information, see the Subscriptions and
Recurring Payments Guide.
z Refunds: Test Aa providing a refund of money paid by a PayPal user in a transaction.
z Simulated transactions: Test scenarios such as successful and failed eChecks.
To test in the Sandbox, you must first create a Developer Central account. With this account,
you can create multiple PayPal accounts, such as seller and buyer accounts, to simulate
different scenarios.
For complete details about using Developer Central and the Sandbox, see the Sandbox User
Guide.
