    Default How to test sandbox mode for PayPal?

    I set up the API information for our Pay Pal Express payment module and set it to sandbox mode.

    Then I tried to purchase a book from our store, and when I get to the login screen where I'm supposed to be able to either pay directly using Pay Pal or sign up for a customer profile, it has this message at the top:

    We are sorry for the inconvenience. The PayPal account authentication settings are nto yet set up, or the API security information is incorrect. We are unable to complete your transaction. Please notify the store owner so they can correct this problem. (10002)

    What does that mean? Does it mean I can't test this out in sandbox mode? Or does it mean I don't have the information right, even in sandbox mode?

    Is there a particular reason you need to use the sandbox? If so, then you need to change your API credentials to the sandbox credentials when you switch to sandbox mode. And, to go back to "live" mode, you need to put back the live API credentials.

    If you're concerned about transacting with real money, simply use "live" mode and refund the transaction and you won't be "out" any money, as all fees are refunded also.
