    Default Best practices for testing checkout with PayPal?

    In the PayPal payments module it says there is a test credit card "4111111111111111". Does that mean I can use that fake number to test payments and see what happens?

    What is the difference between using that number and setting the module for "Sandbox"?

    If I set the module for "Sandbox" does PayPal automatically know it is a test payment?

    Thanks,

    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Thanks, Kim!

    One question. Does PayPal care if the following:

    1. Log in to your BUSINESS PayPal™ account and refund your test transaction.

    is done frequently for testing purposes? Does it adversely impact on our business account, for example?



    Thanks!

    Testing and refunding transactions has no ill effect.
