paypal express sandbox mode....

v155a (or thereabouts...)

i'm trying to do some testing with paypal express. i configured the paypawpp module on the admin side. if i set it to live mode, i am directed to the paypal site as i would expect. if i set it to sandbox mode, i stay on the ZC site and i get the following error:

    [L_SEVERITYCODE0] => Error

)

i have run the extras curltester and gotten this response:

Connecting to PayPal Express/Pro Sandbox ...
GOOD: CURL Connection successful.

any idea how to run some tests using sandbox mode on paypal express? what might i be doing wrong? it seems that the api credentials are correct as it does work in live mode.

thanks in advance.

PayPal sandbox gives you *different* credentials for sandbox mode. You cannot use "live" credentials against the sandbox.

how difficult...

how does one get to the sandbox credentials? as far as i can tell, we are using

NVP/SOAP API apps

when i click on the manage NVP/SOAP API apps button, i'm redirected to a bad gateway.

i created a sandbox account and linked it to my live account.

any ideas what i might be doing wrong?

thanks in advance.

Unable to tell from the above descriptions, but if you have performed the following as published here: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/cl...b_credentials/

Log in to the PayPal Developer site and navigate to the Sandbox Accounts page or Dashboard > Sandbox > Accounts. View your test API credentials by clicking the expand icon next to the Business account that you want to use in your request. Then, navigate to the Profile > API credentials tab of the sandbox account.

yeah, unfortunately i'm finding paypal rather difficult to navigate and get new test credentials. if i go to:

sandbox.paypal.com

i have created an account and unfortunately lost my password. if i ask them to send a new password, i get:



if i go to:

https://developer.paypal.com/

login there and get to:

https://developer.paypal.com/developer/applications/

and then click on the manage NVP /SOAP API apps, it brings me to here:

https://www.paypal-apps.com/user/my-...t/applications

and i get the following:



kind of a problem.

i have opened a ticket with paypal; but after 6 hours, i seem to have lost confidence.
